Today, I learned the hard way that when I ask a cute girl if she's artistic, it sounds like I'm asking her if she's autistic. FML
Gibsonsgfreak21 tells us more.
Hey everyone! I'm the OP! Didn't think my post would be this popular! I don't have an accent- I'm from SoCal, but I was in a crowded class so it was hard to hear, so she just repeated what she thought I said. I've been talking to her for a while, but I asked her if she was artistic because we were really bored in a 3 hour class, so drawing would've been a fun distraction (although I can't draw to save my life). When I told the story to a couple friends, they thought I said 'autistic' instead or 'artistic' as well, so I guess she wasn't the only one. Also- I've done a lot of work helping children with autism. I've never say 'autistic' because i believe in ability before disability (ie. Saying, "A boy with autism" is better to say than "an autistic boy"). I explained what I meant to say and she laughed, so the FML isn't THAT bad. :)

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.

I'm curious of what the hard way entails?

Tell her you may have a speech impediment. Then she'll feel like the jerk. Once you explain the mistake it should be something to laugh about.

To be honest, I don't think that lying about having a speech impediment is a good thing to do and it's insulting towards people who actually do have a speech impediment. He should just let it go. Also OP, I'm sure there are alot of cute girls in California waiting for you :).

I wasn't saying that so he would lie. Sounds to me like he can't pronounce his r's. Which to me, is a speech impediment. no need to be offended. Obviously if it was just a slip of the tongue just say so. There's no need to be offended.
