    That comes from a lifetime of being misinterpreted. If everything you say from when you’re a teen until your late twenties gets taken in a million different ways other than that you intended, you start to over analyze the response to every question you give, you need to be able to anticipate every way that neurotypicals will misunderstand you and mitigate against it.

    And no, neurotypicals do not consider such things, because that experience rarely if ever happens to them.

        My best guess is that they have a secret code that they all somehow intuitively understand. I must have missed the class where you learn that code…
