I saw a Tik Tok for an autistic moment.
The autistic person was like “did you make dinner?” looking for a yes or no answer. The partner didn’t reply.
Later, the partner said ”are you happy, I made dinner now”. She said ”huh? I picked up dinner. I wanted to know if you made it, yes or no and got no answer”.
The partner realised the autistic person was not implying he should make dinner. It was a real genuine question to decide the next move.
What? Well yeah of course it would be. Man neurotypicals are odd.
But the thing is, a non autistic person would probably be implying “you should make dinner”. The problem is, we are not likely to pick up on that unless we experienced that exact scenario before.
Yeah br and I communicate very directly irl at all times.
Autistic Tik Tok is calling it ”implied initiative”. We do not see the implied call to take initiative, nor do we imply it.
Another thing I notice, if I complain about something we can’t fix, people say “well I can’t change that”. As if, that magically makes it better. Like, example, the temperature at work. Not being able to change it, is the reason I’m complaining… if I could change it, I would. Then I would not complain lol.
Once I accidentally implied a woman was a pedophile when I was not trying to because she told me she just waltzes into the men's room with multiple men in it (which I doubt she actually does that I think she was just trying to make a political point) and I said "what if a little boy is trying to pee and he's uncomfortable a grown woman he doesn't know can see his dick?" Oh my god she was pissed
that's not a neurotypical thing the partner is just retarded. also he sounds a lil sassy 'are u happy now'. are we sure they're not both autistic lmao?
The woman was drunk but I didn't know til br told me after
