Can any other autistic people relate to this? When someone asks me an open-ended question about something I’m interested in and knowledgeable about, I don’t know how to infodump – it’s like all the information is there but I don’t know how to organize it or where to start, so I end up not being able to answer at all. Anyone else?
I ask for specifics. So if they ask something like “what do you know about 2A03?” I say “can you ask me specifically what you want me to tell you?” Cuz otherwise im sitting there with 1 million facts buzzing around and no way to know which one i should start with.
This is brilliant thank you for this post. This happened to me in a recent job interview and I was really stuck and it was awkward.
Yes, I just freeze and I can’t organise my thoughts into words. Thanks for the tip! 🙂
