Advertisement: Attractive woman smiling and putting her arm around a man.

Neurotypical Subconscious: Maybe a nice Seiko watch would make me more attractive?

Autistic Subconscious: I need to remember to schedule my dentist appointment.

Actual Autistic Subconscious: That girl's shirt is red, red is the color of blood, blood is somewhat sweet, food is sweet, I should make dinner.
