Hey, quick tip for allistics who want to effectively communicate with autistics:

Say what you mean. It may be obvious to you that when you say “your room is a mess” or “the table is dirty” you’re asking us to clean our room or the table, but to us it isn’t. So if you are asking us to do something, be direct about it please!

Getting mad at us because we didn’t clean the table when you “so obviously told us to” just confuses us because from out point of view, you never did ask us to clean the table. All you did was mention that it was dirty.
