I've been active on 40+ internet forums since 1997. It's been my experience
that quite a few people online are unable to recognize a satisfactory answer
to their questions because the answers weren't composed with words and
grammar of their own choosing. This difficulty has been especially true of
autistic folks due to the rather inflexible way their minds work.
Though often very intelligent, autistic people struggle with ambiguity. They
prefer that words have just one meaning instead of a variety of possible
meanings to choose from. Take for example the word "run". Webster's gives
a long, tedious list of possible uses for it; and when there are several ambiguous
words like that one in a sentence and/or a paragraph, autistic minds sometimes
feel as though their questions are being ignored.
