For example, I tend to have a need to be able to see the entire logic and contents of something -- I become very flustered by hidden layers I don't know how to easily see or visual metaphors I don't yet have familiarity with
This has affected my abilities with:
- spreadsheets
- video games
- IDEs -

@recursive There's an old spreadsheet UI trick, alas, not very popular nowadays, of having a key that switches between showing the values and the formulas in cells. In the periods of my life when I heavily used spreadsheets, I found this feature quite useful in helping me understand complex spreadsheets prepared by Somebody Else(tm). My neurodivergence is #adhd .
