Another autism thing: I have trouble extrapolating information and double meanings if I'm not expecting to need to

Puns and jokes? Love them. Sarcasm? Mostly good. Analyzing things for meaning? Yup. But things I don't expect to have multiple meanings go right past me and being prompted to find "the next logical step" is often hard for me to deduce

#like. I mentally don't put titles in the same category as regular phrases #so I didn't realize until this year that the title Catching Fire meant. you know. something that 'catches [on] fire'#I always just processed it as a poetic title. what's the 'fire?' her? her fighting? her message?#who's 'catching' it? the Capitol? other contestants? the population? herself?#it's a poetic phrase I don't think about it like a sentence. but no it literally just meant something catching fire #oh another good example is that I can remember that 2 meters is about six feet. but I cannot remember that 1 meter is about 3 feet #so if I'm trying to estimate 100 meters to feet I remember that 200 meters would be ~600 feet. then divide by 2 #and then feel like a fool (lighthearted)#with the 'next logical step' thing: escape rooms are tough for me #m/cc
