As a kid I would ask tons of questions. My mom, single parent, loved it. She thought it showed curiosity and intelligence and wanted to foster it.
It wasn't long before she started having to answer "I don't know."
Reading other comments here, I realize how lucky I have been in this regard. ❤
Not so lucky, though, in that she thought I was wise beyond my years, instead of recognizing my autism. I'm 40 now, and only a month ago I received my diagnosis.

yes this. I've gotten trouble at previous jobs for doing it and it wasn't until I had bosses that has experience with neurodivergent management that they would either explain what I needed or be able to word it in such a way that it satisfied my brain I had trouble getting some people to understand that I wasn't disrupting authority but that in order for me to process the information my brain wants to know why things are done the way they are if there are different or better alternatives

I ask a lot of questions, but I need time to process first, so my questions always come later. For example, at job interviews when I am asked if I have any questions, I never do at the time, but I always tell them that I need to process and that I will have questions later. And then I bombard them with questions in an email a day or two later (I refuse to use the phone 🤪).

Exactly, when my brain needs to know what something is, how it works, why it works, what it's used for and how something is used to learn something since my brain is very logic based.
Where for any given situation it takes past experiences with similar problems along with information, data and methods it has on a problem to construct different ways to handle a situation, then runs probability analysis in order to figure out based on context and experience which solutions is most likely and what would lead to the best outcome.
So in an environment of vagueness or low detail my head can struggle to formulate or understand a situation enough to formulate or find solutions to a situation, conversation or problem I'm dealing with, especially when I can't determine the context to things, weather I'm unable to produce a valid context or if I can formulate multiple valid contexts given the circumstances.
The fact my head is also very expectation based on how it manages my mental resources, having enough details about whatever it is allows me to properly plan out what wealth of information I have needs to be in working memory for consideration.
But yeah when I explain stuff I don't only explain about an answer but the reason behind the thing or answer I came to so the other person can follow along and get a better explanation of why, my head literally has a logical explanation for everything that goes on in my head and everything that's in place.
My brain is saying I probably conveyed about 83% of my intended point across effectively but yeah, feel free to ask

Understanding is the key and the goal, but when asking ND people our questions we often forget (or struggle to explain) that to them. I find having one or two ways handy to translate my intentions to Normie speak can prevent misunderstandings. Sometimes. It still sure as hell isn't easy or even reliable method, but since this comes up most often with people who don't really know us we can learn what works and reuse and improve them over time.
I find if it comes across as curiousity it helps, but I've never been able to force that effect if it wasn't honest. I've long since given up on learning to mask and focused on piecemeal mitigation. It's easier... I think. Kinda. Probably.
For me at least.
But I strongly believe we all need to find our own tools to get by, and that sharing what works for us can help others find and improve their own.

My supervisor would get annoyed until I asked 'would you rather answer my stupid questions or fix my stupid mistakes?'
