    Love how he is often able to push on the way autism is viewed.

    I live my life mired in nuance. So much is in the realm of “not enough data to reach a conclusion” and so many people act as though it’s a matter of fact. And yet my thinking is considered wrong for not accepting extrapolations of incomplete data that feels unjustified by “this is how it works”.

    Much like in this example: yes the DSM states black and white thinking is a problem for autistic people, while also being biased to not diagnosing people that lack this issue.

    Feels ironic that the mental health field often gets hung up treating people as a member of category rather than individuals with room to be exceptional from the accepted mode of thinking for the category.

      I came to similar conclusions,

      Its my experience and observation that there is always a more intelligent perspective that we aren’t aware off and because if that we can never truly know to be right or correct.

      A nice example is the plague masks. Flowers in a snout because sick is in the smell. I a modern laymen knows that is bullshit but also that it was reasonably effective.

      I am still an idiot on the matter compared to a modern expert. So is a past expert compared with a future expert.

      Our understanding of the world works for us within the context of our awareness, which is limited.

      I call this truth by approximation.

      If you think about it, you don’t plan what hand to grab a handle with, we may do the same task with a more or less efficient posture depending on how we feel.

      We are everything but exact entities. Mammals, especially humans have a very high and fast approximate intelligence.

      The crux is that the neurotypical is most often correct in a not perfect way and so am i.

      But they do it the establishment way, mine is nova.

      My drive tells me to work with them, lay information side by side and create a new better understanding of reality.

      All they hear is how some know it all questions the established way that everyone else is fine with, and pushes some absurd personal ideal on them.

    I don’t think it has anything to do with being on the spectrum, but I do dream and imagine in muted colors. Like, there is still color, but it’s like seeing the image reflecting off black glass. Everything is transparent and the background is just a black void.

    Do NT people have full on vivid color in their thoughts?

    Edit: oof that’s not the type of black and white they meant. lol
