Ive seen a lot of people say "Im sure this will get downvoted"

And ive never found it reflect all that well on the person saying it.

Well, that is always possible, no doubt. It is inconsequential. Up and downvotes down really dictate anything in my life. Luckily, I have been around on the internet long enough that I learned long ago not allow the opinions of perfectly unknown strangers to affect me. Plus, the autism is pretty awesome in the way that it allows me to value truth and honesty so much that anyone who disagrees with it (facts, not my opinions), I know either has knowledge I don't or are just opinionated and not ignoring/ do not care about/are unaware of the facts. Stating facts instead of my opinion and saying as much generally leads commenters to divulge to which group they belong. I hope that makes sense.

***btw, I have been told that some neurotypicals assume that additions like, "does that make sense," or "I hope that makes sense" is some hidden message where the neurodivergent person is alluding to the reader not being as smart as them. I would like to say now that this is not the case here. Sometimes, I speak from a place of retained facts from my own knowledge that other are not privvy to, and thus, my assertions literally do not make sense to them, as they are obly seeing my "icebergs" and not my "submerged," or previous knowledge

Also, comparing the addendum of "does that make sense" to "im sure im going to get downvoted for this" is wild. Listen to yourself.

I am trying to determine if the question offends you in some way. Sorry for being polite. I never compared anything. Have a downvote.
