What is the 6 second rule for autism?

The "6-second rule" for autism is a communication strategy where a listener (often neurotypical) pauses for about six seconds after asking a question to give an autistic person time to process the information and formulate a response, reducing anxiety and pressure. This pause allows the autistic brain to catch up with sensory input and spoken language, leading to clearer, more thoughtful answers, and preventing misunderstandings that arise from expecting quick replies. If no response comes after the pause, the question can be repeated verbatim, not rephrased.
