 * Keep: I don't see what's discriminating about this userbox. Many autistic people, including myself, genuinely experience this and would not consider it inaccurate to describe us as having difficulty with parsing such social expressions. It's just a thing that some people aren't good at. If it said "this user cannot understand idioms because they're a r slur" (or another pejorative) then I'd be for deleting it but as is I do not find it offensive and see no issue with retaining it. silviaASH  (inquire within)  20:31, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Considering the creator makes it clear on their userpage that they are neurodivergent, I am extremely doubtful this is meant in a discriminatory manner. Curbon7 (talk) 23:23, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: As an autistic person myself, this is a real aspect of my character that I struggle with as well. I often wish that I could casually inform others of this before they interact with me in real life - this userbox serves to do that here digitally. I certainly don't see anything discriminatory about it, and it in fact seems rather useful. Nomeatmashers (talk) 02:07, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep: Seems like an IDONTLIKEIT nomination. –– Formal Dude  (talk)  02:13, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: This is helpful for people and it doesn't seem negative. Also, the creator is neurodivergent, as displayed on their userpage. Asparagusus   (interaction)  14:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. This idea that words relating to mental illness are slurs is, ironically, hurting people with mental illness more than anyone else. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 18:03, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Question - Is this userbox meant to be self-applied, or applied to another editor? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Aren't all userboxes meant to be self-applied? I've never seen one be applied to someone's user page by someone else, nor seen any userboxes apparently designed with that intent. silviaASH  (inquire within)  19:21, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep assuming that this is meant to be self-applied. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - If this were put on the userbox of another editor, that would be a personal attack, which is an offense by the userbox-affixer, not by the userbox. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:28, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
