I know very well what therapy is about. Decades of experience. Being an autistic person and working through a life of internalized ableism and discrimination works wonders for recognizing it. Not being able to understand sarcasm or other subtext is no problem for me, it is a problem for my surroundings so they can go to therapy for it. I go to therapy to learn to not accept being ousted for being different.
Well, for me it’s only 2 months of experience, being 28.

That’s right too.
EDIT: I meant - when you are not permanently suppressed by the things which you don’t need, like trying to not be yourself, you may have easier time understanding sarcasm and subtexts too.
