Neurotypicals: Think Autistic people are exceptionally literal.

Autistics: Describe their experiences using phrases like:

  • My brain feels like it’s filled with cotton laced with barbed wire, it’s not safe for me to make decisions right now.
  • I’m entering a Wait Mode until we leave.
  • Just looking at that rotten food makes my skin feel slimy.

Neurotypicals: Assume the Autistics are using metaphorical language to exaggerate common experiences.

Oh wow, this is accurate.
