Share the cognitive load by throwing out efficiency.

And I think this is another example of where it's time for more understanding or picking up of more responsibility when it comes to at least being aware of the differences and attempting to communicate differently, particularly when communicating with Autistics

And for whatever it's worth, I have to say that I've always felt that you communicate more neurodivergently because it's easier for me to understand most of what you talk about, for whatever that's worth

I appreciate that breakdown, Christina, because it is so real. These things that happen are how people say things and how the mind can dissect that sentence, right? And one of the things I remember when you brought up multiple choice, it brought to mind it when I was in college, my senior learn preparing for the state nursing certification exam. One of the instructors, she had a really unique way of teaching us how to prepare for the test. And it would not be about necessarily content

You got me thinking the way that you described your instructor explaining, doing the testing and the questions, I wonder if there was something equivalent that could have been offered for younger students taking multiple choice questions. Because it's my understanding that the difficulties I have with multiple choice questions is somewhat common anyway with autistics. And it I've heard several say they, they anecdotally have heard several say that maybe it should be a flag waving saying hello, this might be somebody who is autistic
