Neutotypical expectations on Autism taking metaphors literally : I am a very dumb baby and ive never heard a single metaphor my entire life please talk slowly to me
Me, an autism no longer listening to a conversation: i get what “a heart of a lion” means in context but now my brain has latched onto it because lions are known for not being risk takers, being ambush predators that take neccesary precautions when hunting because injurys can prove fatal they litterally do nothing but conserve energy and come up with strategies on how not to get fucked by a zebra kick where’s this said bravery where the fuck did this metaphor manifest about lions when they are indeed the complete damn opposite to bravery in essence this makes no sense.

This reminds me of the time my psychologist said «elevator conversations» meaning like casual conversations, and I knew, but my brain was stuck in «there’s not an elevator in my building»
