What 2D shape can Aspies best relate to?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel it could be the square, but I'd like some input.

Yes, a square is a very comfortable shape.

I like soft round shape, not sharp ones.

How about a square inside of a circle-- like trying to stick a square peg in a round hole?

But yeah, I think a square is also really fitting.

A drawing of a hypercube projected into a cubic environment.

assuming the inside is empty space and not more square (an outline or frame), i am uncomfortable with squares because their structure does not allow much stability of a weight is placed on the "roof" unless some supporting structures are placed, like buttresses or something. for that reason, i feel safer with a triangle.

i like open polygons, that way the light can get in.

Ever since I was little, I've had a thing for triangles. They're magical.

I have my own design consisting of one large equilateral triangle and three smaller ones I've loved to draw ever since i was in high school.

I love geometry, trigonometry & equilateral triangles.

I think different aspies relate to different shapes, it's a personal opinion. I think for me it's circles but that's because I don't like sharp points and angles. A lot of cute, soft, non-threatening things are round. Apparently I'm not the only one who feels this way, however, I read it may be the reason Mickey Mouse was more successful than Felix the Cat (although they made Felix rounder and more cuddly in later cartoons).

I've always liked the infinity symbol.

i am for the most part, cozy with the idea of infinity/forever but not with the symbol.

as for digits and letters, i like ones that can be written "continuously" as one unbroken loop, like 0 and 8, o, D, B. closed.
