Have you noticed on the other ads he looks like he's always on drugs. Everything goes all psychadelic, "have you called an ambulance HAVE YOU CALLED AN AMBULANCE!!!???"

Great vid Laughing

I think it isn't a rhetorical question, but a comfort question - an answer is expected, but only an emotionally correct one (in this case, saying bad stuff about the guy who dumped her). Like, asking if you liked the food they made (always yes), or if you think she looks ugly (always no).

Why can't normal people simply ask for reassurance outright? This stuff of being evasive is only asking for trouble. Some questions just should not be asked. Laughing

I don't know how I would represent the visual aspects of my thoughts on a screen. If the intention is to say, "Autistic people see the world differently," then that's fine. If the message is, "this is how people with autism see the world," then clearly not.

The one with the receptionist is the one that resonates most with me. (and then the bus).

lmao Oh nooooo.... My side hurts... I think it is hysterical. I also do not find it the least bit offensive. I have been known to do that sort of thing myself.

I had an ex girlfriend once ask me if it looked liked she'd put on weight. I said "It depends what you're wearing".

oops.
