Quote:
The autistic brain is physically miswired, so that our perceptions of the world are askew from (roughly) 99% of the human population's perceptions.
After a few times, I know what other people will do and say, within a reasonable degree of accuracy. They are not making decisions, they are being triggered.
I am conscious of how I come across to others but have a different set of priorities.
I believe that autism has to do with prioritization.
I don't mean to minimize the difficulties of other people, but am finding that they are highly intelligent and can come in and out of it.
I am not a formal expert. It's my life experience, and aimho.

I have known many people who thrive on multitasking. They are as flustered when they are not doing multiple things at once as I am trying to do two things at once.
They probably, always have neurotic facial wear, and eyes, which go in different directions, when they talk to you. Some of these tics are associated with lying, but their body will be showing, externally, that their mind is in several places, at once. Probably not the person to paint on the grain of rice or perform neurosurgery. Watch, when they move, if you're sharp. See how they use a pen.
I'm situationally-aware.
The other person's situation is not necessarily my situation, my problem, or my priority.
But, I am aware of myself and others.
