How do NTs think?

Post Reply New Topic

Basics: GAF scores of 80-100, standard scores, etc. Unless afflicted by mental illness.
"How they are conditioned and learn, eventually manage and behave" -- obviously, no LDs, no 'distortions' sensory or otherwise related to EF but doesn't necessarily mean won't squander it.

The rest:
Cultural, peripheral, subjective, individual that may or may not enhance and/or ruin the basics


Cultural can be one of those high context, low context communication forms -- ask if eye contact and sarcasm is even relevant?
Which is more important compared to another culture -- relationships or productivity? Etc...

Peripherals may or may not give one certain smarts. It's a particular status so to speak.
I mean, how do you compare an NT who was raised by a thriving businessman from an NT who was raised by a struggling poor worker?

Subjective and individual -- get to know them. How they were treated, their preferences, their hopes and dreams, etc...



The "basics" -- closer to human fundamentals (in which everyone can bleed, sense things, are alive, etc.), are not the most relevant to the question, I say... it's just what one has and don't have.

Basics are just how NTs "take" and "give" with whatever they're consuming compared to NDs, translated to the rest.
What they have and do not have issues with, what they may or may not get it -- the so called privileges is already written over and over all over the net already.


"The rest" is more important and will directly most likely manifests behaviorally and mentally.
It is what one received and didn't received, it is also what one gives and cannot give.
What they're accustomed to, what they expect and perceive of themselves and others, etc.

"What this particular set of NT is convinced of" may or may not match "What this particular individual is convinced of".

If one wants to learn how a particular set of NTs think -- as generalized possible possible -- start with the particular collective of choice: the culture, with their idea of what is "fit".

Which can include their idea of what cool and uncool, their gender dynamics, if they're particularly loud or not...
Then move to communications related to that culture -- that's how to make a set more predictable.

Some cultures and ways of communication along with their environment fits one's own ND more, some just don't in general.

Subcultures are given, socioeconomics are given, whatever intricacies of the societies they live in is given, etc.

How said cultures or ways of living itself is alive and moving, like how languages and cultures evolve, is given -- so don't rely 100% on media and textbooks and outdated stats, just go out there.

None of us can know how another thinks be we on the spectrum or off it. It is impossible to know what another person will think. We can only guess, but our guesses will be far out. I know that because when I was told off in school for daydreaming I thought "If the teacher knew the wonderful pictures I was daydreaming about, they would have not told me ofd and would have encouraged me to daydream some more!"

NTs definitely think differently to us in some ways though.

I often see posts by autistic people about the frustration of being misunderstood when they have been trying word things in a very clear and unambiguous way.

Yet their friends, family and colleagues consistently misunderstand them.

Subjective and emotions based. They think that just because they feel a certain way, that is the reality

You need to factor in nature and nurture, which is what creates personality, individual to collective.

I know that most humans I've interacted with (almost all "NT"), think nothing like me, and I accepted that long ago, which is one reason why I'm that asocial loner. Easier that way. I sorta know how they think from long-term observations and they tend to fall into groups, but said groups intermix so they aren't uniform. It doesn't mean I can get along with them any better knowing this, it just means I know the outcome of things beforehand. Those with personality disorders are the easiest to recognize, and sometimes easier to get along with for me depending.

"Most".

Those of us that are "different", are also different, as we're still products of nature and nurture just as we are Autism. I know a person with a confirmed ASD diagnosis and we've been on the same page most of the time with not much misunderstanding. So, there's probably something to those with Autism thinking along similar lines, or I just lucked out in that regard.

Nature and nurture: I'm an Echoist with Autism, so I won't behave like many with just Autism and a "normal" personality. I was made into the former by a Psychopath/Narcissist with undiagnosed Autism and another Narcissist with ADHD via their usual abusive behaviors. I think nothing like the former, even if we share symptoms or traits of Autism, as his thoughts are from the personality disorder overall. I know how Psychopaths/Narcissists think, though. I also probably lucked out being somewhat disabled as I'd be drawn to Narcissists when looking for social relations.
