What is meant by "Ask Culture" and " Guess Culture"? At their core, these terms are referring to communication styles. In Ask Culture, you ask for your wants and needs directly. In turn, the answers you receive are direct and a "no" most likely doesn't need to be qualified, justified, or "softened".
In Guess Culture, directly asking for what you want may be seen as pushy or even rude. The communication style of Guess Culture favors suggesting or hinting at what one wants or needs in an effort to elicit an offer of help from another without "putting them on the spot".
How can we navigate communication between these two communication styles and how does ADHD complicate this? Join us for this episode of ADHD Crash Course to learn more!
