As above. Like,instruction following

Abysmal, to put it lightly.

Mine too.

Is this normal with asd

It's pretty common, yes.

What's the difference between problem solving and finding patterns (in behaviour or situation etc.?)

Whilst some of those with Asperger's are known to be very detail-orientated and technical-minded, I believe that many individuals on the spectrum struggle to follow seemingly easy verbal instructions. I cannot say with any degree of certainty why this happens to be but I surmise it's related to processing difficulties and perhaps, for some, a lack of interest in what they are hearing.

I know that I hear too much, and this greatly affects what I can remember. It's as if I am tuned into too many radio stations at one time and cannot filter what is of significance. My levels of distractibility are extremely high, but I guess that could be ascribed to undiagnosed ADHD.
