Social habilities & Work
Me : *talking about anything*
Collegue : *answering but not looking exiting and too neutral for me to know whether she's interested, bored or annoyed*
Me, hours later : I still don't know if she hates, despise or like me. Did I do anything wrong ? Should I ask her ? Am I annoying her ? Am I unable to fit ? What should I do ?
Autism thing
I now realise that implicit things aren’t always “talk subtext”, like when someone says something and you’re supposed to deduce what they mean even though they aren’t saying it exactly.
Implicits are in what you’re supposed to do. And I’m not flexible enough. I was told ‘You’re doing this activity for an hour’. I didn’t think I could STOP for some minutes if it was needed. No one told me.
Apparently, it’s called common sense. Well... I’ve been told many times by my mom that I don’t have any !
Implicits
Collegue : Tomorrow you can eat a sandwich here if you want.
Me : Thanks, but I don't eat sandwiches.
Collegue : No no, I meant anything, sandwich, lunchpack...
Me : Oh. I don't eat sandwiches, I've had too many as a student. Okay. Thanks. I'll eat at home, don't worry.
"Just like"
Me : I don't get subtext. Or sarcasm. Or irony. I can make some though. But I don't get it when it's other.
Cousin : You're just like Sheldon Cooper then.
Me, not out as autistic, having a lot of insecurities : He. Just. Made. Me. Valid.
My So : Yes, exactly like him.
[I know he's a cliché, but it still helps to feel better.]
Sarcasm #2
Me : I don't get sarcasm.
Person : Oh don't worry, I use a special voice, you can't get it wrong.
[Later]
Person : *sarcasm*
Me : Really ?
Perso : It was sarcasm ! How can you not get it ?
Me :... You use exactly the same voice. I told you... nevermind.
Sarcasm
Friend : It' good you leave, we'll be able to talk about you !
Me : You know, I don't understand subtext, or jokes, or sarcasm. Were you thinking that ?
Friend : Ahah, what do you think ?
Me : I don't know. That's why I'm asking.
Friend : Ahahah, who knows ?
