Why I Value StraightForward Communication

 

                something that I value is straight forward communication, the reason is because as a person with autism I tend to take things very literally and I have a difficult time with identifying whether people are not direct or if they're being direct with what they are saying. Now the way that I have overcome this challenge is by understanding that some people will be forward with what they say and some people will not be forward with what they say this could be frustrating at times but sometimes the best way to identify whether or not a person is being upfront is by watching their words and seeing if their actions follow through as I have mentioned in an old post of mine titled  "understanding sarcasm". The next reason why I value straightforward communication is that sometimes when people are not being direct with what they say sometimes I take that as an insult, maybe this is related to the fact that I take things very literally or it could be something else entirely but I have to understand that everyone's perspectives are different much including my own. The last step that I take is to observe an individuals social cues such as body language or tone of voice when they are speaking to me as I have stated before in my previous post titled "Identifying social cues" which will help me identify whether a person is being forward in their communication. in conclusion the reason why I value straight forward communication is because I take thing very literally which makes it difficult for me to identify whether people are not being direct or if they are being direct with what they say.
