My mind operates differently. I’m Autistic but not in the usual way. I combine ALL the traits but a few.

Interesting post smoky. I have a question, and this is not intended to disparage you in any way. You just seem to not have a problem talking about how you think, and I've always been curious about this.

Your brain has worked the way it's worked for your entire life, I assume. How then, can you know in what it is to think like other "non-autistic" minds? Other than maybe what you can read in a book. How do you know other "normal" people's minds don't work in exactly the same way yours does and you're just better at describing it?

You know how some black racists complain that white people aren't allowed to speak on "black" issues because white people don't know what it's like to be black? Yet they feel free to speak on "white" issues when they don't know what it's like to be white?

We all know what WE are like if we study ourselves. But can we TRULY know what it's like to be somebody else? And to think like somebody else?

I wonder about things like this.

Not to go too far off topic, mind you. But we do work hand in hand with the "weaponized autists" of 8chan, who are the foot soldiers of Q.

I had to LEARN how to talk to someone so that they could understand what I was thinking. Still not perfected after 62 years.

I don’t and make calculated guesses in my attempts to get the point across. Most time it takes several attempts before they understand my point of view.

How do you know other “normal” people’s minds don’t work in exactly the same way yours does and you’re just better at describing it?

Experience of 62 years. Many times I have to take them [co-workers] to a white board and draw them a “picture” so they can understand where I’m coming from.

And to think like somebody else?

That I cannot do. I think MY way and MY way only. Q is like a computer. My mind operates like a computer. I throw images up into that thought bubble. Blueprints of how things work.

I amaze people at how fast I can find things on the internet. I make associations others do not.

I have visited 8chan a few times. Too much distraction for me.

Have a great day.

"How then, can you know in what it is to think like other "non-autistic" minds?"

Easy peazy! The look I get from other people. Autism is a a spectrum thing. Some are very close to "normal" whatever that is. The other are off the wall.

When I get the "look", I will say "oh did I say that out loud"? They laugh, we move on. But if I am autistic I got all the social and none of the brains. This is not something they diagnosed when I was a child. In those days, they just thought you were stupid or lazy or both.
