Somewhere early In primary school. I was always the weird one, the different one, the one who doesn’t get other people’s jokes, and laughs at my own. I would do what people said, not what they meant, and I’d always get in trouble for talking them too literally.
Over fifty years later, with similar problems throughout my working life, I’ve finally come to realise in the last few months that I’m probably autistic.
ADHD here, but based on autistic friends, I strongly suspect that for me as well. The said not meant one is a big bother for my wife and I. I just CANNOT read into the secret hidden meaning hidden between the words. Just say what you want. I’m happy to help or whatever, but I don’t do hints.
