has anyone written about autism and layers of locution meanings. like. i only have a little bit of understanding of this but i really dont think "autistic people take things literally" cuts it or is accurate a lot of the time but "autistic people tend to understand locutionary meanings rather than illocutionary meanings" seems to immediately explain a lot more

people have in fact written a lot about this topic, yes! i wrote a long tumblr post about this a while back, which you can find here if you're interested, but basically: there's been a lot of studies that suggest autistic people struggle with implied requests like these. if you want to do some digging, you should find plenty of results by searching for papers on autism and implicature; scholars in this field i think tend to use that term more often (maybe because they're more interested in the content of speech than in speech acts themselves).

This is an issue that people run into in job interviews a lot! If the interviewer asks, “Have you worked in an office before?” they don’t want a yes or no answer, they want more information about what settings you’ve worked in and what kind of skills and experience you have from that. So a good answer might be, “Yes, I was a receptionist for two years, I did a lot of answering phones and filing,” or “No, this would be my first office job, but I do have experience working closely with a team” (and then talk about how you’ve done that.) The interviewer wants to hear why you would be a good fit for the job, and the questions are about giving you openings to share that.
