This ambiguity is something I tried to put in words so many times, and you did it so very eloquently!

During a discussion I will often find myself go on multiple tangents to test the meaning of a phrase I am listening to, lopping with each new word coming in. And surprisingly to most I will sometimes arrive at multiple meanings I grasped and incidentally can't decide on which to pick!

While this is really embarrassing at times, I however consider this capacity of seeing a difference where most don't: a gift. The brain grows on this branching capability and I believe it is exactly this that enables me to understand a conversation faster than average.

So I have a somewhat autistic level of conversation but also have access to uncommon thought patterns just through casual conversation.

Thank you for sharing this.
