You’re right, I totally skipped over that word so I mapped that to the real situation and not to a hypothetical scenario.
Thanks for everyone who is tolerant and understanding of neurodivergent people trying their best to clear up misunderstanding on either side.
Not being a native speaker also doesn’t help since the weights on certain words might be off in detail.







Thanks! Although I have to say it’s very frustrating and one if autists challenge is the double empathy problem which leads to the constant misunderstandings. And it’s not an issue on either side but between neurotypical and diverse.
It’s complex. But the sad thing is it will always happen. I understood for this specific thing. But for one it is one sided (as the 99% could also understand me) and I can just take myself back and never cause this by masking, which is however literally biologically damaging me in the long term.
We will always feel alien because of this.
Thanks for joining my Ted talk.
