My brain is like a hamster: an expert at spinning in a wheel, especially with those subtle and seemingly unimportant social situations for most neurotypical people.

Yesterday, around two in the afternoon, I checked the time on my mobile phone while looking for the last things before going to a two-for-one offer at a bakery, and I, analyzing that call right at lunchtime, said half to myself: "this is tempting the staff."

She started laughing a lot, and more than twelve hours later, I'm still thinking about what exactly made her laugh so much.

I didn't mean it with any double meaning or as a joke; it just seemed like a logical observation. But it seems that for some people, these kinds of statements are funny or unexpected.

Meanwhile, my inner hamster continues to run in the wheel, trying to find the social logic that escapes me.

Perhaps this is also part of the neurodivergent way of analyzing the world: looking for patterns, wanting to understand reactions and never taking for granted a situation that, for others, goes completely unnoticed.
