Annoyingly enough, I have this thing where I can tell when someone is making a fallacious argument or is overlooking important facts, but I can never communicate out loud how I actually know they are wrong or what they are missing, because what I say gets misinterpreted or my thought process is interrupted. They will keep throwing questions at me and give me no time to think. So then I look flustered like I don't know what I'm talking about, when really I just have too many things going through my mind at once, and they end up just coming out wrong.


It sounds like we have a lot of the same problems. I do that too when my brain is thinking of all these ideas, but my mouth makes them come out as jibberish.

I would talk to your grand-parents. It seems like so many of us get laughed at when we disclose our thoughts on autism. Maybe you could just keep reinforcing the idea and keep asking? I did that A LOT.

I also have that same problem. It's like a sensory overload.
