Your own aunt should probably know you can’t just say “soon be drying weather” and expect their autistic neice/nephew to know what’s up. Like a total stranger wouldn’t pick up on “wow it’s sunny out” = “put up the laundry please” because they don’t have that relationship and to just keep banging their proverbial neurotypical head against this long established miscommunication strategy is quite the silly thing to do unless they think their siblings child is purposefully being obtuse all the time and “hiding” it (because they don’t think autism is real presumably).
Well yeah they probably got the shit kicked out of them for deviating slightly from their expected duties and then when their parents wanted to warn them to get shit done they just started the conversation and they didn’t even wanna let it get close to being asked, lest they get their ass beat again. There was lead in the air and fear in the minds. All about control, as it ever was since the pilgrims landed.
If you think they boomers are narcissists, imagine “The Greatest Generation”…
I’m confident they probably asked them to do it multiple times and they didn’t do it. And then it was finally a sunny day and they mentioned it assuming they’d tie it together with them asking to do the laundry the last 3 days.
Idk this sounds like one of those Southern hospitality things.
I’m not from the South so I only can repeat what I’ve seen on TikTok, but culturally it’s rude to ask someone to do something so they rely on implications.
One example was a person visiting her mom who had some extra apples and gave them to her. This apparently meant she wanted her to bake an apple pie.
I’m NT, but would never have been able to understand that.

You underestimate how obtuse boomers can be.

That’s fair. Had no idea that implication even existed anywhere haha.
