I have AuDHD and I have trouble remembering instructions without knowing the reasoning behind the procedure. If I’m taught something by people who understand that reasoning I’m so much more engaged and curious in the learning
I hated math in school, then I started working at a grocery store with bulk bins (and also selling drugs) and now I can convert multiple different units of measurement between metric and imperial in my head.

It’s a curse, but goddamn if I understand the “why” about something I’ll do so well.
If it wasn’t so goddamn energy intensive to function as expected by nuerotypicals, we’d be gods.
100% this. Math was actually hard for me until I got to college and started seeing proofs for everything. Now I love math.
