Taking things literally in autism is often due to misunderstanding someone's intent, of course. But does anyone else often experience it as something more subtle? Sometimes as a way to hedge your bets on your interpretation, or sometimes as way to lessen cognitive or social load even if you understand the actual intent perfectly.

Often I will interpret something literally because I don't want to have to deal with engaging in the actual meaning (that I understand fully) because I am socially overwhelmed or tired. I feel this is not often described as a reason for taking things literally in autism

you know how in Mario 64, Mario will start doing a little "woaaaaa" when he falls from a long way? sometimes, you hit the ground and continue playing before he's done, overriding any other "wah"s. which leads me to believe Mario is being dramatic for fun

what if mr beast stopped uploading, then just a 3 minute security footage video of a large vat of foggy bubbling liquid, some shadows passing by inside, but you can't make out what's in there. the video ends with the lights being turned on, the cameras switch from infrared to color, the color of the liquid is brown and a worker in a full respirator and what looks like a mr beast T-shirt enters the room in a catwalk above the vat

the video is titled "can you pickle a human" and Jimmy is never seen again. The channel is promptly deleted "due to a copyright claim by Beast Entertainment Inc."
