Adult Star Annie Knight Says Autism Makes Her Struggle to 'Understand Sarcasm' and Have 'Insane Emotional Breakdowns'

Adult star Annie Knight opened up about being autistic and gave fans a candid look at some of the ways the condition affects her everyday life.

The OnlyF--- star, 29, shared a lengthy explanation after a previous video prompted viewers to wonder if they might also be autistic.

"So one of the first things is that I'm extremely gullible because I... If someone says something, I take it at face value. So I'm gonna believe whatever that person tells me," she explained in an Instagram video.

"I take things extremely literally. I don't understand sarcasm. It's taken me a long time to figure out sarcasm, and still to this day I struggle with it sometimes," Knight detailed.

Knight also discussed the emotional side of autism, saying, "Being autistic means that you are, like, extremely empathetic, so you feel things so deeply it's absolutely insane."

Knight said she also finds certain behaviors difficult to comprehend when they conflict with how she would treat others.

"On that note, and somewhat not contradictory, although some people might think it is, we struggle to understand other people. We can't understand why people would do certain things like lie or betray their friends or treat someone badly," she explained. "It is, like, beyond unfathomable for us to understand that because we would never do that."

She then opened up about struggling to recognize romantic hints.

"Not being able to read between the lines, which I've kind of already touched on. If you're kind of, like, joking about something or you're flirting with me or something like that, I won't pick up on it. I've got no idea," Knight revealed.

Knight recalled how her fiancé, Henry Brayshaw, approached their relationship knowing she might not understand subtle flirting.

"Like, you will literally have to say to me, 'I like you. I have a crush on you. Do you want to marry me?' Like, that is what happened with Henry. He was like, 'There's no point even beating around the bush here. I'm just gonna propose because she's not gonna understand it otherwise,'" she detailed.

Knight also recalled experiencing intense emotional reactions.

"The emotional breakdowns are insane. Like, when I was younger, I remember when I was angry at Mom for some reason, it's probably some stupid teenage reason, and I went on a rampage and, like, ripped up this really beautiful, massive card that I made her for, like, one of her birthdays in just, like, absolute rampage," the adult star explained.

Knight said she has spent years observing other people and adjusting her own behavior accordingly.

"I have analyzed other people my entire life," she said, recalling how she watched friends socialize when she was 19. "I would just echo everyone. I would see that, and then I'd be like, 'Right, that's how I act from now on.'"

The adult star also addressed her eye contact, saying, "People think if you don't make eye contact with people that that's, like, a sign of autism, and it is."

"But, like, people with me, for example, are like, 'Oh, you have really good eye contact.' That is because I feel so uncomfortable; I am pushing past that because I'm masking," she shared.

Knight added that she is sensitive to "sounds and smells and textures," saying, "I hate having sticky hands. I hate the sound of people breathing, chewing."

She also explained a repetitive finger movement people may notice in her videos and photos called "stimming."
