Nuance, undertones, rhetorical questions may as well as not exist for some of these good fellows. I must remind myself that even though someone (many someones) might lack in this department, that doesn’t mean they aren’t brighter than me in many other things.

I am curious though. How, if you are aware of this, do you watch spy, palace intrigue, double agent, psychological movies? Isn’t it detrimental to fully enjoy the acting and reading actors expressions and nuances? I guess you wouldn’t be aware that you are missing full experience?

It’s not about me by the way, it is from the perspective of a spectator, a lurker and not about me receiving some kind of response.

    As always with the exception of ADHD communities which every single member feels like I knew them for years no matter which site.

    I think that the ADHD community takes things that other posters say at their word instead of making a bunch of assumptions. That is my general experience as someone with ADHD, things in a conversation are being said in good faith unless there is an obvious contradiction. Many conversations with neurotypical people feel like I’m participating in a conversation where the other person’s past experiences are being projected on to me instead of listening to what I’m saying.
