@Phoenix_Rising ..... we who know you understood what you meant .... you have explained to us across time how you aspie brain works, and those of us who care about you (not-friends and acquaintances included) understand what you were saying without takin offence at all. I can't speak for everyone, of course .... I am using a generality based on the responses we have had as a community across time.
What the mod was referring to, I believe, was social conventions ..... whereby people who haven't received the benefit of the explanations you have offered us in the past .... which likely helps other aspies to express themselves similarly and improve their sense of being heard and understood .... are quite likely to mistake some of what was written in your post as being somewhat hostile ..... because they are used to less direct forms of social communication.
Does that make sense ? It's not wrong .... it's just confronting to those who are not familiar with a different set of social conventions ....
can you think of it similarly to the use of a dialect ? A dialect bridges two languages, on a spectrum. I can elaborate on that if you like.
