Another unfortunate case of neurodivergent communication being perceived as dishonest.
In my experience, most people prefer brevity. Although directness and contextualization comforts other neurodivergent people, more words seem to agitate neurotypicals who view “over-explanation” as a cue, or signature of deception.
For people who know me, this side of my communication doesn’t bother them. Plus, tutoring people and having to step through logic piece-by-piece only reinforces that over-explanatory virtue.
I won’t erase myself, but understand that the wider world isn’t as empathetic.
I’ve got a disability hearing coming up. The meme and your comment have perfectly encapsulated my terror and dread. It feels like there’s no winning, and I’m preemptively angry.
Edit: see some of my recent comments for prime examples of why I have zero fucking faith in any of this shit.
