“here’s a video guide”
no, fuck that, give me written documentation that I can search through and that can be easily updated
And I can track where I am, make notes, etc.
Written instructions with a video guide to let me see what the words mean is perfection!
“Can you text that to me?”
“Why?”
“Because if you don’t, I will forget half and misremember the rest. If you value your time and mine, you will text me or write this down for me.”
and I don’t even have adhd, just a really shitty memory sometimes
I was in a workshop 0n Zoom where they talked about asking people pertinent questions after they said what they did or whatever. To help, she suggested imagining what the person was saying was in closed captions that you were reading.
Seemed like a good idea until she had us each say our name and give a interesting fact about ourselves, at which point I tuned everyone else out while narrowing down my swimming pool’s worth of interesting facts about me.
At the end she mentioned it again and I remembered that’s why we were doing that exercise, not just so I could tell people I once worked tech support with Madonna.
My strategy is to fool NTs into thinking I have my shit together and am taking things Very Seriously by going ‘hold on, let me write that down.’
“All you’ve written on this are a bunch of question marks! In the shape of… a cock?”
Honestly, us NTs are happy someone is finally taking us seriously! When it blows up again, we’ll just explain it again like always.
Oh hey!
