> 1. The allistic (non-autistic) person is not hearing what I'm saying
We are often hearing a lot of unspecific waffle at great expense.
The author goes on to say they are spending a few minutes setting the context. I have to deal with this a lot, and in reality, without cutting you off, it often goes on for 30 minutes to answer a simple question poorly.
How this looks in reality. The worker wants to move some cables to another switch to install a server but prefers to waffle for 30 minutes instead of drawing a diagram. Typically this consumes the whole team meeting and nobody gets to discuss their items.
I agree, communicating efficiently and precisely is key.
I work pretty hard at it. Yet still, especially when someone is not conversant in my domain of expertise (real-time embedded systems, data engineering), I do need to give context. I am not talking 30 minutes here, I am talking 5 minutes at most, in the most complicated cases.
In fact, this article is me trying to boil down things, and I realized I might have gone too far into conciseness :)
