worst autism diagnosis wake-up call was the day I learned hearing "I appreciate your candor" was usually not, in fact, an expression of appreciation. whoopsers.
@Krenshar_posts it’s like my mother-in-law whenever she calls something about me “interesting”. (Gah I can’t even type it without scrunching the bridge of my nose.)
@turbles I do think I've met people who do appreciate my candor who have said that to me. I think those are other autistic people.... I think everyone else says it as a warning........
