Quote:People with AS take everything at face value...They read word for word and understand what the words say and that's what they get out of it...whatever is said or read, is taken literally and processed by the brain as such

 

That happened in the Message Board Survivor thread. I thought the OP meant, "How long have you been a board member?" and the word "survivor" had something to do with that.

 

Irony can be hard to recognize too. When Mom said it is ironic that the vet who recommended someone for my cat moved from Gainesville to Columbus (she is a Gator), I thought, "What is ironic about that?"
