The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

I think I might need to take a half day...today is the six-month anniversary of my Gramma passing. I still can't believe she's gone. I can't believe it's been half a year since I've seen her...

The reason going on about "you should really learn the basics of small talk" pisses a lot of autistic people off isn't generally because we think that's not a useful thing, it's because you're making the assumption that people who struggle with small talk must just have not really tried to learn. The only autistic people I've ever met who haven't tried have been people who genuinely can't understand how or why to do it, and your condescending little post isn't going to change that. And for those of us who have been trying a long time but still really struggle, seeing constant explanations of why we should is just exhausting and a slap in the face every time.

one of the things that makes juwon so interesting is how he presents himself as this aloof intellectual elite with no emotions, but the reality is that he feels so much and so intensely for other people. and it comes out MESSY and UGLY so he buries it, but he can only make it go two feet deep, and well. you know what they say about burying dead bodies

people always try to play the "but you're a lesbian" card whenever i say odd shit about men and i think that's because people are too cowardly to accept the truth: these are pure, objective observations. i don't have a leg in this race. when i say Gene Wilder has a kind of evil warlock's raw sexual charisma in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory you can't write me off as being too horny. because i'm literally not. i'm making a statement of fact here. and you'll just have to cope with it.
