I'm clearly missing something because your last 2 paragraphs seem to state the same thing I said here "The term seems to imply to me the brain is dividing thoughts into factions, and the social "solenoid" that would get triggered and route to joke faction "by being interested" is getting bypassed so it just went straight to literal answer. Maybe section would be a better term than faction. I should add nuerodivergence to my list of need to look into to further understand."

Where you say social cue, that is the trigger for the solenoid in my blabber. The "without recognizing" is the "bypassing and going straight" to the literal answer or "answering as a genuine question." As you put it. Maybe I should have said relay instead of solenoid, or just avoided mechanical parts all together ๐Ÿ˜…

Edit: I tend to keep the view that everyone is on 1 spectrum, and it is not linear but at minimal 2 dimensional, 3 more likely. So I often ignore trying to label thoughts as being autistic or such, as like you said, they could mean a plethora of different things. My partner is autistic/ADHD, but most people would have a hard time telling from standard encounters. They just think she is quiet/reserved until they get into situations that would require more than just small conversations.
