the people I know don’t listen and often hear the opposite of what I say. That’s why I have to repeat myself a lot.

I can’t tell you how often I’ve had to say, “I picked my words very precisely.”

Yes but you picked them in your ‘language’, not that of the listener. Neuro-typical/divergent communication is a bit like translating across languages. Words by themselves don’t always translate directly.
That said, I concede, many people don’t listen carefully and jump to conclusions based on what they expect you to say.
