Other people can't get what we can't/don't express or exhibit. One of my therapists admitted he didn't think I had any problems until after seeing me for a year! My good/best/"real" T was still surprised when my odd little pockets of non-information showed up and showed areas I was really naive that a child would know. We finally figured out most of my "experience" in life came from reading and books are not "experience". One can read and respond to what one reads but that's still not the real experience. So I'm quite knowledgeable about things, but what's actually going on with me is a whole different story.
