[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to think it’s the difference of viewpoints/opinions, but to me it sounds more like an issue with communication (and, not to pile on, but your OP is a good example of that). The phrase that jumped out from your OP is the “I ask a question and get a totally different type of response”. That seems to imply that someone is completely misunderstanding you or that your point is not coming across well.

I wouldn’t jump to “autism” right away but do consider that you might have a learning disability. There are many that can affect language/processing/communication. For example, my DD has a learning disability in “reading comprehension” but it can manifest itself in speech. She struggles with inferences, analogies, metaphors etc. among other things. [/quote]

It's this (not predicting whether somebody will leave their sunglasses behind--that's just "intuition" that comes from experience). I experience this every often, and I tend to have it with the same people consistently. When working through a problem, I understand all the words coming out of my co-worker's mouth, but put together, they aren't really saying anything--like there's no point. And I can't figure out if it's me, or them. So we're talking, but not communicating. I'm pretty sure I have ADHD, but also have high intelligence and understand very complicated things. [/quote]
