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. :)

I'm sure she would understand if u told her what Happened. Then maybe not because girl logic is messed up but worth a shot!

You need to read that again but this time try it slower.

I'd like to know how you learned "the hard way." While it would have been rude if you had actually asked her if she had autism, autism is a spectrum disorder and can often come with both many positives and negatives. This is the same as for the average person, though the positives and negatives are different, so she shouldn't have taken the question so harshly.

Articulacy is a trait women look for in men.

Is it just me or is it kind of a weird question to ask someone you've just met? "Hi I'm OP, so baby are you artistic?

Maybe rephrase it next time "are you into any kind of art?"

Ask her in another way? Like 'do you enjoy/like/do art?'
