I always want to hear you talk about your special interests. always. got a thing about Russian politics in the 1700s? tell me about it. know entirely too much about the mating habits of aquatic animals? nice, bro. can literally recite every Star Wars movie line-perfect? that’s fuckin impressive. even if I’m not personally interested in whatever it is you’re infodumping about, I’m happy that you’re interested and excited, and I’m willing to learn about things my loved ones care about
^THIS I love when people love stuff!
I know it’s an autism thing to not understand sarcasm. But what if I’m extremely sarcastic myself as well? Like I don’t understand other people when they’re being sarcastic but I’m sarcastic and I feel like it’s super contradictory.
I think a lot of autistic people are this way!
