Got a giggle out of picturing myself try to imply something. I "imply" that I like coffee by saying how much I like it and which kinds are my favorite, how I like to drink it, what times of the day I tend to have it, which stores have the best coffee if I have to get coffee out, etc etc.

@benjamincox You have nothing to be sorry about! With late-dx autism, you've probably masked for so long & your instinct is to make sure those around you are okay with you for feeling of safety in an NT world. You don't have to do that here! :)

The cool thing about Autists is if we are upset, we will tell you. Like my son and husband will say "you seem upset." Me "Nope. I'm processing or sharing info." Them "Right! You didn't say 'I'm upset!'"

The autistic urge to explain everything fully, so nobody has gaps in their knowledge and needs to ask questions.
