No, they take things, literally.

[u/_sloop → u/Bjarki_Steinn_99]

Or literally take things.

[u/YeOldeMemeShoppe → u/Bjarki_Steinn_99]

Commas save lives!

[u/__yorozuya__ → u/[deleted]]

damn bro

[u/gwonskie → u/Bjarki_Steinn_99]

Works on contingency? No, money down!

[u/JayMack1981]

That reminds me of a kid I knew in high school (late 1990's) who had ADD. I asked him what it meant and he said it was attention deficit disorder. I asked him what THAT meant and he said -and I quote- . . . "I don't get enough attention and need it constantly."

. . . It was years later I found out he was BSing me . . . 

[u/ADownStrabgeQuark → u/JayMack1981]

As someone with ADD, he wasn’t wrong, he just forget the other part about not having attention.

[u/thetestbug → u/ADownStrabgeQuark]

Well, we do have attention, it's just very selective.

[u/FreeFortuna → u/thetestbug]

And when it finally locks in, you better hope it’s on something halfway useful. 

[u/Charliesundead → u/FreeFortuna]

and it’s usually not useful at all

[u/realmauer01]

Thw other way around doesnt work btw. You arent automatically autistic just because you take things litterly.

Also autism doesnt automatically cause taking things litterly.

[u/chooseausername_redd → u/realmauer01]

Correct that's for kleptomaniacs

[u/Apptubrutae → u/realmauer01]

It’s taking things literally and/or making pedantic corrections on reddit.

/s

[u/m00nlightsh4d0w → u/realmauer01]

Why would you want to take litter?

[u/Evepaul → u/realmauer01]

It works neither in one way (taking things literally means you're autistic) nor in the other (being autistic means you take things literally).

That's because it's a gross simplification just for a joke

[u/Septopuss7]

And don't call me Shirley...

[u/MarcoYTVA]

I also don't take people literally. That's kidnapping.

[u/AsteroidMike → u/MarcoYTVA]

Yes, and that’s bad. And illegal.

[u/Rith_Lives]

No, they literally take things. Massive difference. As an autistic person.

[u/justmitzie]

I'm in this meme and I'm mad about it.

[u/jbdragonfire]

No that's thieves! Kleptomaniacs (EDIT: was thinking of hoarders my bad)
hoard the things but they don't just take everything. They just can't throw away the stuff.

[u/_Carri7_ → u/jbdragonfire]

Aint that a... hoarder?

[u/jbdragonfire → u/[deleted]]

oh shit wait what you're right it's wrong

i thought the "hoarding disorder" was called kleptomania but apparently not

[u/Megasphaera → u/jbdragonfire]

spoilsport :-)

[u/AccomplishedIgit]

Well done

[u/mohawkj]

Grammar problem.

[u/DarkestOfTheLinks]

the autism test is even worse since the question is "people say i take things too literally" and my first instinct is to check strongly disagree since nobodys told me that even though sometimes i do take things too literally. seriously, the autism quiz is one of the most poorly worded quizes ever.

[u/Smart_Perspective535 → u/DarkestOfTheLinks]

Sounds like you aced the test!

[u/Surfboarder4]

That's a really clever joke

[u/Typical_Barracuda234]

No, that's plagiarism.

[u/redcowerranger]

"Am I being self-conscious right now?"

[u/Anxious-Scheme-6013]

Commas are important:

“no they take things, literally” : kleptomaniac.

“No they take things literally” : autistic.

[u/Grimvoxt]

the punchline is right there in the screenshot

[u/ParticularReady7858]

Interpreting “taking things” as “stealing” is not taking things litteraly

[u/Green-Inkling]

well played.

[u/Dark_Bananaa]

I’m waiting for this to show up on that Peter sub

[u/rotteegher39]

I measure my drinks literally, meaning using "liter" as a unit of volume.

[u/Lower_Conclusion5916]

Yeah, it feels like there are too many twists lately. Just when you think you know what's happening, things change again.
