Question for fellow @actuallyautistic and @actuallyadhd neurodivergent folks:

How do you explain your ideas to neurotypicals?

I constantly struggle because my brain has made connections that are not obvious to others, and when I try to guide them through my thinking I confuse them with details or by skipping explanations that seem obvious to me but completely surprising to anyone else.

Frameworks, links, anything is appreciated!

@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I’ve also been told that my explanation style leans too far into being bottom-up (I start from details and then zoom out).

And that confuses me because well - I’m walking people through the details that helped me piece together the high-level conclusions!

I always feel like I should let people figure it out themselves, but then they get confused and frustrated and ask why I’m dumping irrelevant details on them.. 🥲🥲
