   Things I have misheard or misunderstood because I am #ActuallyAutistic:

   1. When I first came to the U.S., I thought ‘paid vacation’ was when employers pay you to take a vacation. Like they give you extra money on top of your salary to go on a trip.

     2. When I started going to nice hotels, I thought ‘turn down service’ was when someone came to tuck you into bed. I never asked for it for that reason. It seemed weird.

     3. I always thought the song ‘don’t wanna be all by myself’ was ‘I just wanna be all by myself’ (I can’t hear words very well, when they are sung)

     This is also why musicals are impossible for me
