Can’t lie

Nancy

Hi

I posted a question yesterday for the first time and people on here have been so kind. Thankyou all.  I’m therefore asking another question of you lovely people.

I understand people on the spectrum say it how it is and can’t lie. If a person on the spectrum says something unkind I get that they don’t see it as unkind but if the person on the receiving end points out to them that they have hurt their feelings does the person on the spectrum understand what they have done once it’s explained to them?

Thanks

Parents

  • I would understand that what I had said had hurt the other person’s feelings and I would feel bad about it BUT depending on what it was I might not necessarily understand why I had hurt the other persons feelings, in as much as I struggle to see things from other people’s perspective and struggle to feel what other people feel in a given situation and also for me it is better if someone speaks directly and to the point so I wouldn’t get the point of sugar coating what I say

    I guess what I’m saying is I’d understand on a factual level, saying X causes Y to feel upset, but I wouldn’t be able to understand it on a sociol/emotional level
