Tangential but it's a story that I find funny.

At a previous job, my coworkers coined the term "Thomasing" [1], referring to me, as "the act of having a question explained so thoroughly, detailed, and long-winded that the asker has lost interest in the question that they were asking".

I thought it was pretty funny, because that does basically describe me in a nutshell.

[1] Lovingly, it was a good, fairly-tight-knit group, they weren't being jerks. We all did lighthearted ribbing.

Are you Autistic per chance?

Never diagnosed, if I am.

Hardly scientific but I took one of those online tests and it said I was not, but it wouldn’t surprise me if I am at least a little on the spectrum.
