Is anyone here with ASD? How are you cope with communication with colleagues? At the moment I'm junior dev and need ask and discuss more, but it's difficult to explain what I mean and make correct questions

    Do you mean Attention Deficit Syndrome?

    So... Without a kanban board i'm lost.
    keeping track of my tasks and what I want to ask helps me. Also drawing the problem visually on paper is a great way to make others understand.

    Kanban / project management tool that i use.
    www.zenkit.com

    and if your on a mac by any chance, a great tool to visualize complex topics is Mindnode. It's a great fit for the jumpy and interconnected network thinking that people with ADS posses.
    https://mindnode.com

    if not, you can do that too with www.draw.io

    also learn about UML or Mermaid to draw flow diagramms https://mermaidjs.github.io

    also an ipad with pencil can help to visualize things

    @heyheni could be Autism?
    @ZenboJ which ASD are you referring to? plenty to pick from, and i dont think "Australian Signals Directorate" is the right result

    @C0D4 yes i've googled it now and it's indeed Autism Spectrum Disorder. As Asperger was a Nazi who killed disabled people in sadistic experiments it was recently renamed to ASD as there is a broad spectrum on autism.
