I have a tendency not to see the woods for the trees. My partner gets frustrated with me because I start intense conversations just at the moment he is most stressed about traffic. I find it very difficult to see the bigger picture. Or to remember the wider context of what is happening.
This is interesting! In my career I've but a large emphasis on learning to zoom out, to see the bigger context, and to understand how the details are part of a bigger picture. I've been working at this for many years and it's has been part of my role for a while to help others understand the big picture as well. It was not intuitive for me! In the business world, "zooming out" is a valuable leadership skill. But I miss the days when my focus was more zoomed in. I felt much more creative in those days. I did more creative writing, I would take pictures (always of close up things). There is value in both depending on context. I hadn't thought about it as part of autism though - very interesting.
