Were you straightforward about it or did ya let 'em down easy?

I'm autistic. I don't really have a "let 'em down easy" mode.
Iβm known amongst friends of being blunt and straight to the heart of the matter if theyβre unloading or asking for advice. As far as I know Iβm not autistic.
I've always been somewhat speculative about whether my daughter possesses some level of autism. She becomes obsessed with certain things, like a particular song that she'll play on the piano for days (sometimes weeks) on end, or perhaps a painting that she'll try to copy herself to near perfection. She's becoming surprisingly good at playing chess as well. My mum has been teaching her how to play recently. I'll have to get her tested at some point.
Your friends must absolutely adore it when you're constantly correcting them on everything. π π€£
