Me: please don't use hints or cues, just tell me what you want to say directly. My autism doesn't mesh well w/ hints, sarcasm or covert cues. Person: *dismisses, uses nothing but hints* That same person: *getting very angry because I don't understand their hints which causes them to blow up at me* Me: *utterly confused* WHY CAN'T SOME OF YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT'S UP WITH CLEAR AND CONCISE WORDS???? getting angry won't make me magically understand hints - It will only make me anxious 😭😭
