I feel like the majority of the autistic experience is just saying something you probably shouldn’t have without realizing it, realizing you shouldn’t have a fraction of a second later, internally smacking your head on a wall, saying you won’t again-

Don’t forget saying/doing something and it having a wildly different meaning to neurotypical people, and doing that for years before learning what they take it as.

At work i have all my lines memorized (your total is x, you can sign this top receipt, have a nice day, ect) and sometimes i forget which one i’m on and my brain glitches and cycles through them all quickly to find the right one which ends up sounding like “You can sign- oh, your total is, wait have a nice day :) :)” Luckily my customers usually just laugh it off
