#then i tell them something they didn't know and i tell them to goofle it

[ohumokay]

Them: What flavor of [insert Neurodivergent condition here] do you have?

Me: Oh, the kind where you have to prove me right or wrong.

Them: So you're argumentative?

Me: No, but if I get into a debate, I'm mostly basing my opinion off facts, and if you don't fact check me, I will fact check myself. And I'm usually right.

Them: So you start fights purposely so people can fact check you and feel stupid because you're right??

Me: No, I don't start anything; I only want to be fact checked in the middle of an ongoing argument or conversation. And I don't care if I'm wrong or right, I just want to fact check. If I'm right, it'll be a teaching moment for the person I was conversing with. If I'm wrong, it's a teaching moment for me.

Them: But you said you're usually right.

Me: I am, yes.

Them: So, wouldn't that be humiliating for the other person?

Me: Only if they are insecure and arrogant. People shouldn't be offended about learning something new in a topic they are willing to debate. If they're mad because I taught them something, then that's a "them problem".

Them: ... Oh, okay.
