    Rhetorichal questions are annoying.

    Having to listen to me answering it seriously is fitting punishment.

    I mask by answering them in my head and not out loud.

    Rhetorical questions are implicitly statements. If those implied statements are wrong, then you correct them by answering the rhetorical question as if it were a real question.

      Severe ADHD here and, uh, if it’s autism, it’s also ADHD. heh

      edit: Hi. I have severe ADHD and I do the thing in the image. So if the thing in the image is an autism thing, it is also an ADHD thing, because I do the thing in the picture. <3

    I don’t know how not to.

    Also: Any sort of verbal interaction started with a rhetorical question is bound to suck extremely. Very likely to send me into a negative spiral TBH.
