"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

No one said they knew everything. The aunt said she is not interested in learning additional stuff. That she thinks she got life covered with what she got.
It's not social clues or expectations you're missing. It's reading comprehension
"I don't need to learn anything else in this world." has the same meaning as "I know everything" imo. Logically, that tracks. If you don't need to learn anything else, it's because you know everything. "want" and "need" create two very different sentences. If she had said "I don't want to learn anything else," then fine, whatever, you do you.
That was the process of reading comprehension. If the reader is missing context, and/or is unable to integrate the reading to life experience that's a different issue; that had nothing to do with reading comprehension.
I guess I was taking it too literally, based on your response.
I read it the same way.
It's really a bad choice of words for a written conversation. Orally the tone applied to "need" would probably help. Also the interlocutors are familiar to each other and the conversation is probably charged with emotions.
Either way not "needing" or "wanting" to learn anything else is arrogant
For someone who has to proclaim to the world that they're autistic, you seem awfully defensive on your reading comprehension. Didn't mean to strike a nerve.
Saying you don't need to learn anything else. Is not the same as "I know everything". She knows she doesn't know everything. And that's fine. She doesn't NEED to. I don't NEED to learn anything more about bike repairs. I know enough. Does that mean I know everything? No. Just that I'm content with what I know, and i get by just fine.
Go google the six skills of reading comprehension. You don't know what you're talking about and I'm not going to sit here to do the work for you when you're not ready to listen. None of those skills have anything to do with taking something too literally, you're being ableist.
You were literally unable to correctly comprehend what you read in the post. But okay, It's not your reading comprehension. It's your "autism". If blaming that for not understanding rather than something else makes you feel better. Go ahead.
They're autistic, dude ;c
