They say many autistic people take things very literally, but are there autistic people who understand the figure of speech but choose to respond literally?
I have wondered if I have autism, an example of what I was saying is someone used the slang term “gas” they asked if something was gas, and I said “Well, we didn’t drive.” I knew what he meant, but for some reason I replied literally. I worry that I am just a normal person trying to get attention by pretending to have something that I may not have, but I can’t stand not knowing
