The Autistic urge to share your entire thought process when offering advice, so you can prove you’ve considered every variable and inspire people to have faith in what you say and not write off your opinion due to you being how you are.
@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic I have the opposite of this. I will have the answer but can't explain how I got there. The answer often just seems obvious to me and needs no explanation. This is frustrating for all concerned.
@syllusg@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic I go both ways depending on the thing. Sometimes I have a whole thought process I will explain, other times I just know something like it comes from the depths of my brain somewhere.
@AutisticAdam Hubs and I infodump on each other, and our sons, & g'children, and vice versa. We are a very well-informed family...I hope.🤔 @actuallyautistic
@AutisticAdam@actuallyautistic This is so important! After 30+ years, I still don't think my wife gets it. I'm not providing extra detail because I can't help myself. I'm doing it because I think that detail is important. Because I can't read minds and know exactly what they're hoping to do with my answer, and that answer might be different if I did.
And I don't even know if I'm autistic to any degree that matters. If you value someone's opinion, value how they deliver it.
