Replace instances of 'anyways' with 'anyway'
'anyway' is the correct spelling.

This is very hard for us autistic people to wrap our heads around. Why would someone not verbalize exactly what they're thinking? Why wouldn't they always be honest? We know people are indirect and deceptive in the abstract, but we never suspect it in our own social interactions.
-Us autistics are generally bad at deception, so we're also bad at detecting it in others. Since we're always the least cool people in the room anyways, lying for popularity doesn't usually work.

Our infrequent lying combined with the cognitive bias of assuming that others are like us means that when a "friend" or stranger asks for something, it doesn't occur to us that they may have malicious intent.
