People with autism often see issues and communications in a very literal, yes or no, on or off, black or white way. Not everyone with autism is like this, but it is quite common among people with autism spectrum disorder. For example, one young man was told that a semester final paper was due at the start of class, 10 AM, and that no late papers would be accepted. He stayed up all night completing the work but did not put it into his backpack when he left the dorm room. When the professor called for all of the papers to be handed in, the student _could_ have and _should_ have asked permission to run back to the dorm and get it but he took the assignment absolutely literally, did not turn the paper in, and failed the college course.
