For me it's not an issue of perception, but sheer lack of working memory:

Haha, so relatable. That's what it's felt like every time someone has tried to onboard me to a project at work, without giving me a chance to ask (enough) follow-up questions and build up a clear domain ontology as they go.

On top of that, said explainer will complain that their work is "super difficult" and "hard to explain", but then, if by some miracle I can get them to sit still long enough and get up to speed, "miraculously" I'm able to onboard others.

I swear it's not a super-power! I just don't assume a ton of context!

This is brilliant. I need to show this to anyone wondering what having a short-term memory issue feels like. I need a whiteboard and subtitles to figure that one out.
