You can't expect people to understand if you don't explain ๐คท.
I can't fully explain stuff well
Well, if you don't try, we can't help.
I don't have autism, but I am kinda weird, so I think I could (maybe) help, but you have to explain things.
I'm bad at it
๐คท
You have to start talking man, otherwise we can't help.
