    “Black and white” thinking is something that adhd and asd people struggle with constantly. It may not be a choice.

      My gf and I both have ASD and being direct and stating exactly how we’re feeling in the moment bluntly has made things 2000% easier.

        that’s awesome. it can take a lot of courage to be blunt, even if you’re very close to someone. i always have that voice in the back of my head going “was i too blunt? what if i offended them? what if they hate me now?” etc etc, even when i’m trying to be polite.
