I’m autistic and I probably would have interpreted “pet names” like that as well. 😭
Also, I would be too embarrassed to assume the other person is talking about romantic pet names. What if they were not and I’d make the situation awkward? Too much of a risk.




Cat sounds are the best ones, I don’t make the rules. Then peacock and shoebill stork. If I went into all the bird calls I’d be here for hours though!
