Please feel free to list your experiences with literal thinking or related behaviours whenever you feel like it, and whether these are important or as typically ridiculous as my recent example:
* I ordered a 'personalised' t-shirt from Ebay, graced with the word 'AUTISTIC' in gigantic, glowing capital letters. Wearing this shirt, I thought, would save me the tedium of explaining my more unusual words or deeds to others whenever it might be necessary. Hooray! Alas, after receiving the shirt I realised that it's Winter & resultingly bloomin' freezing so it's likely that the shirt is now as useless as I habitually am. If I wear the neon monstrosity that is the shirt under an opened jacket, its essential message - which ludicrously dwarfs the famous HOLLYWOOD sign, such are my design-skills - will either be lost on the NT crowd, or else appear as some kind of short, ironic and post-sexist anagram. Doh.
I prefer to go invisible, so often I use force to help it. Obi-wan style ''you do not see me'' and wave my hand in front of them.
I wish they got the message. (there is no force of course)
I would never ever wear a neon t-shirt. You are a brave man. Brave people tend to die young. Learn some survival skills. Turn invisible.

I tried that, and people assumed I was stimming. ;)
slow and wide move, distractful so they stop looking into your eyeballs
