The allistic desire to answer questions with anything EXCEPT words that answer the thing you _actually_ asked IS FUCKING MADDENING.

I've asked a coworker what the consequences of X are twice. The second time i got really specific about what i was looking for.

2's the limit. So now i have to just wander off without an answer and hope nothing breaks, because I'm an ass-hole if i keep asking the same damn thing despite them not answering.

@masukomi @actuallyautistic could be coz the question is a social faux pas. Not having an answer means I have to live with uncertainty which cranks up my anxiety levels up to 11. I hate it.

@marytzu sure. that can definitely be a thing. in this case it was simply simply asking what a piece of software we use does in a particular situation i'd been tasked with creating, which is why it was so frustrating.

@masukomi could be a lot of things tbh. Another frustrating thing about allistics is they don't give a straight answer about that either.
