Americans feel SO entitled to challenge anything that doesn’t fit their idea of a norm.
Twice this weekend—when I said I’m not a committed romantic relationship guy, never have been—the instant response was: ‘Are you autistic?’ (Never asked that before, so two-for-two was notable. Maybe it’s a hot TikTok theme.)
Which, it’s none of your business to start with. And even if it were, why should I have to explain to your increasingly skeptical face when I say ‘No’ how I don’t fit the definition?
