Upon hearing ‘Warm today, isn’t it?’ my natural reaction is to reply with either yes or no, depending on the ambient temperature. This isn’t some infuriating quirk that autistic people have because we’re weird – we’re actually using language as it appears to have been intended. But if I were to reply truthfully with a ‘No, I think it’s quite cold actually,’ I’d immediately be viewed as strange, combative and contrary. All for answering a damned question accurately.
