Autism and bluntness

NAS84467

I was wondering, does anyone else on here relate to not being bluntly honest? I feel like it's such a common autistic traits that i personally do not have, if anything I've been told often throughout my life that I don't say what I actually think enough, but funnily enough I'm actually being really honest when I say I "would love to do" something etc.

    I really like it though when people are direct and straight to the point. It makes life so much easier. No trying to figure out hidden meanings or confusion. I really like it when people are very honest and direct. It allows me to trust them, because I know they mean what they say- that does mean that they may sometimes say things that upset me or that I do not want to hear. But that's ok. Better to know. And it also means that when they do say positive and encouraging things, they really mean it. It takes honesty to build trust in my opinion.
