People with autism will believe literally anything you tell them, a man who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “literally” has said.
Graeme Hart, 31, who claims to know “literally hundreds of people with autism” has observed that “literally all of them” have no idea when someone’s taking the piss.
“It’s literally so annoying,” Hart explained. “They have literally no way of telling when I’m being literal – and I’m literally literal all the time.”
“They’re literally illiterate.”
Hart’s autistic cousin, Dexter Livingstone, said: “Last Christmas, I gave Graeme a dictionary – but he returned it, saying ‘I literally don’t need this.’”
