Acronyms and stuff

I seem to be the only one who dosen't understand acronyms and initialised words and phrases. It's very disconcerting to read a post or a whole thread where I find I don't understand what people are talking about because of acronyms and stuff. Is this just me being an old fogey who dosen't understand text speak  or something?

  • IDK about acronyms but I struggle to understand neurotypical communication - lol!

    (My great aunt - who I think was autistic - once wrote 'lol' in response to someone passing away because she thought it meant 'lots of love'!)
