How do you prefer to receive information/instructions?

I prefer written. If spoken, I ask the person giving them to speak slower and simple, so I can write them down and make sense of it only when I read them. It’s also good for remembering them. I’m very visual. I had a colleague in uni, idk but probably austistic, I would say from his flat affect and behaviors generally, but maybe I’m wrong. He somehow chose me to come and ask questions and I unlike other girls didn’t laugh him off or called stupid. I somehow intuitively assumed that maybe it’s hard for him to understand spoken words. My fine motor skills are fine and I can write really fast even not understanding the point of it. I only make it when I reread my own notes. So I helped him few times and as a reward I got smile from him and “hi”. I still remember that guy he was kind of like me and I regret not getting closer. But I understand myself, it was basically too much, too loud, too everything so I was really overwhelmed there and craved some peace and silence. And I always preferred spending time with one person instead of group, the bigger the group the more lost I am.
