Today’s episode explores the unique intellectual and sensory methods the author of the source article, Dr Jaime Hoerricks, employs to prepare for public speaking as an autistic gestalt processor. Rather than responding to specific interview prompts with direct answers, she describes a recursive preparation process that favors long-term coherence over immediate extraction. Dr. Hoerricks highlights the tension between standard professional expectations and her own need to integrate theory, memory, and lived experience into a unified whole. By refusing to simplify her insights into discrete segments, she advocates for a holistic approach to communication that respects the complexity of her internal meaning-making. Ultimately, the text serves as a reflection on how non-linear thinkers navigate systems that often prioritise compliance and speed over genuine understanding.Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/how-i-prepare-to-speak-when-the-workLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
