More like non-autistics are the ones with serious language-impairments.
Typical non-autistic sees an occurrence of ABC, but when describing ABC to others, they instead give it a description of DEF, even going so far as to change the vocabulary to XYZ to describe ABC as DEF.
With autistics, due to generally having a higher rate of honesty than your typical NTs, will describe ABC as ABC, and if ABC is really just a front for XYZ, said occurrence will still be described as ABC. Autistics tend to be a lot more accurate when it comes to details, but frequently go by dictionary definition, rather than following « idiomatic » meanings.
Specific Example:
Within the United States, particularly around the more English-speaking Hicksville-Populations, people often say « How ya doin' » ...amongst your typical neuro-typical, its « meaning » relates to using as a « good day to you » kind of expression, whilst we autistics are going to interpret it as a question of the following manner/context: « How are you ? »
Languages are one of my interests, but despite the multiple languages that I can speak & write & read, some of these nuances amongst American-dialects simply remain non-sensical (such as in the above-example). I have since developed an automatic-reaction to just respond with «yo~ » when anybody says/asks « how ya doin' » towards me then I just ignore the person & go on my way.
Autistics are going to be more accurate with actual definitions, such as what is found within dictionaries, and autistics do not typically mistake an accent for being a dialect or vice-versa (whilst many of those neuro-typicals will refer to Hill-Billy talk as an Accent when it's really a Dialect, just like neuro-typicals might refer to British/Australian/Canadian English-speakers as having an accent, when those are also actually Dialects, due to being within the same Language, for accents refer to when people of different Native-Tongues speak in a Language other than their Native-Language [such as a French or Russian person speaking in English).
