I also have ADHD, not sure about autism spectrum. My current boss gets absolutely frustrated with me because I constantly explain what I mean. He says I knew what you meant when you were halfway through talking, stop explaining yourself. I didn’t even realize how much I do it until I started working for him. I do it so I’m not misunderstood.

It’s funny because he has ADHD as well but is unmedicated. His statements and especially text messages are vague to me. It causes serious communication issues because he gets upset when asked to explain or repeat himself. So I have to either piss him off and get confirmation, or just run with what I think he meant and hope I’m right.
