He's Losing It Y'all 😭😭😭

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

I hate humans so fucking much.

With their grimy hands, their desire for money, their unfeeling cruelty, their delicate egos, their fragile lives, their fucking perceptiveness.

I hate them, the way the kill, they hate, they hurt. They care, they live, they feel.

But fuck, I love them, but they should not see me. They should not care. They should be oblivious, and messy, and lonely, and kind, and separate.

Not right here, right next to me.

I'm a watcher. I'm not their family, not their friend. I care from a distance, but they are so determined to look for me, and I cannot stop them.

I don't know how to feel about that.

"I should be in a tree right now" i say to myself despite knowing fully that i fucking suck at climbing.
