Well, I'm autistic, but I'm a native speaker and I find both interpretations equally valid. In fact the latter interpretation was where my mind went first. The key is that if this were a spoken sentence, tone and pace would disambiguate the meaning. Those are lost when writing. Ironically, that's a bit of ambiguity in the prompt which nobody has caught onto yet. The prompt implies that the sentence is spoken aloud, but it's actually being written which creates additional ambiguity. In a written context, someone might be more careful about their word choice (or might not) - which might include not writing that phrase at all because it isn't precise enough...
