when I handed in my autism paperwork, I scheduled an appointment directly with my GP to go over my fully filled out and annotated paperwork, and go over the questions I'd made notes i didn't understand or needed clarified. I think colour coding was involved.
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

No other experience like a partner falling asleep on you while your cat sleeps on them (the partner and cat are newly acquainted). There is nothing as perfect as this. My favourite creatures right there together. My legs are going numb but i wouldn't dare move. They're so beautiful. Is this content? I think this is a bigger emotion than content.

I had a dream in which there was technology in the world that allowed anyone to create a film according to their desire. And I wanted a film where they would be happy.
The moon will sing a song for me, I loved you like the sun
Bore the shadows that you made with no light of my own
I shine only with the light you gave me
