"It's frustrating to be accused of disordered thinking on your part when the actual issue is disordered expectations from the other party." The expectation isn’t disordered, it's carrying with it implied social expectations (technically it would need to go against these to be disordered). The problem is that neurodivergent people tend to not pick up on the implied expectations and neurological people don't tend to notice that they need to be more explicit with thier expectations. "What they actually should have asked was, "What happened during your favorite episode?", which might have produced the response given by the sibling." Why is that what they should have asked? The initial exchange is technically correct. The asker should have said they didn't know that one and asked a follow-up question of what happened in it. Asking what happened in their favorite episode as the first question isn't necessary and isn't the general social flow of conversation. I do agree on the second paragraph.
