Rhetorical questions are implicitly statements. If those implied statements are wrong, then you correct them by answering the rhetorical question as if it were a real question.
Severe ADHD here and, uh, if it's autism, it's also ADHD. heh
edit: Hi. I have severe ADHD and I do the thing in the image. So if the thing in the image is an autism thing, it is also an ADHD thing, because I do the thing in the picture. <3
I said I have severe ADHD and was saying that if this issue is an autism thing, it's also an ADHD thing, because I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

Rhetorichal questions are annoying.
Having to listen to me answering it seriously is fitting punishment.

Just because a question was posed rhetorically doesn't mean the answer is as forgone as the asker assumed.

Bro I once answered a rhetorical question when I was watching a play in a theatre. Not making that mistake again

I mask by answering them in my head and not out loud.

I don't think I have autism, probably ADHD though.

Are you implying that all autistic people have ADHD?
daychilde@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 156d
No.
I said I have severe ADHD and was saying that if this issue is an autism thing, it's also an ADHD thing, because I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

I don't know how not to.
Also: Any sort of verbal interaction started with a rhetorical question is bound to suck extremely. Very likely to send me into a negative spiral TBH.

I think this is one reason I'm frequently labeled a reply-guy.
