    Hehe there’s something oddly satisfying when someone comes into my office and I respond to their unasked questions before they manage to ask them, just because I anticipated it. I feel like a psychic, but it’s not - I just had our common pattern of communication down.

    “What I was about to ask you?..” It’s one of those three things, along with the answers. “That’s scary. And impressive.”

    But yes, the frustration is there too. I hope to get into an environment where my perspective is at worst minority report, kept visible as a potential corrective tool.

    I also think it ties to learned empathy and steelman perspective I have. I often try to consider what others, usually neurotypicals think, feel, see - even if they don’t or can’t account for it. If seen in this positive light it somewhat counteracts the frustrations.
