    Okay but also sometimes I get afraid of being misunderstood and I think a lot of ND people have that kind of experience and a sort of self-protection thing is then being very specific in your language

      I get like this too, but i think that's different than pulling out $10 words to try and win an argument - autistic clarification is its own thing to me - I pretty readily switch to a more formal language if i feel misunderstood so i get it

      but also

      Think for a moment on the purpose of that utterance.

      is somebody trying to win

        Oh yeah for sure, this dude is not doing the ND trauma response, this dude studied the blade.
        I guess I felt the need to respond to the tweet, which also covered the overly verboseness.

        This, also I'm just too verbose lea-smug but more than that I've always liked or had a tendency to fight fire with fire.

        Also maybe as a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, but that was more due to life reasons
