What is the NT (non-Autistic) state of mind?

Sound silly? It should.

The only commonalities among Autistic people are meeting a set of generalized diagnostic criteria which do not apply to the NT statistical majority.

Moreover, there is no one "state of mind" even for the individual, let alone a group of millions.

Could you be a little bit more specific?

The status of my mind right now is confused.

:?:
I don't quite get the question but I'll tell you what my day today has generally been like:

Dammit how long before I can get this obstacle out of my way so I can get back to a comfortable place and start thinking (in peace) again?

:twisted:

And that applies to
chores.
things.
duties.
and people.

Especially people who are counting out their pennies or initiating small talk (with me or with the cashier).

I Mean explain YOUR OWN PERSONAL STATE OF MIND , if you are on the spectrum...jeez its obvious that all people are different, and the NT state of mind can be verbalized fairly simply.

I've never seen any descriptions of the "NT state of mind..."

As for myself. I can't tell you. I don't know how to put things like that into words. They don't translate well from the concepts that make up my thought to the words that are needed to be transmitted to you.

Alexithymia does seem to be common for people on the autistic spectrum

Alexithymia frequently co-occurs with other disorders, with a representative prevalence of 85% in autism spectrum disorders

It's the perfect answer. You asked for OUR personal state of mind. She gave you hers.

What are you really up to here?

The NT "state of mind" can be "verbalized" as NOT-AUTISTIC.
That is the ONLY commonality, and that is the analogy I previously-used to illustrate how similarly-silly it is to ask a huge group of individuals whose only claim to linkage is not being in that former group what their "state of mind" is.

My state of mind is happy atm, cause this morning I found out I've lost a bit of weight, I'm on campus at my university buying textbooks, and when I get home I'll put my feet up and nom on an obscenely-large salad. Maybe with carrots. Some lemon pepper seasoning. Ground pepper or no ground pepper...who knows?

If you mean to ask something more specific and meaningful (as others have kindly-asked), do so.
Otherwise, I don't know what you're talking about.

I call "troll".
Someone who demands an explanation of state-of-mind,
is asked to be more specific and explained that the question doesn't make sense as-written,
and follows up by saying that response is "wrong",
is not actually looking for substantive answers,
merely in getting their own panties in a twist.
