Understanding the model NTs operate on

Post Reply New Topic

More I listen to you guys talk about Learning Styles. More I wonder if your lack of understanding, is off the charts.

Not everyone uses the same learning style. Memory recall, "peace" "Image, 2 white doves”, “sound of the word”. “The shape of the word.” “The video of 2 leaders shaking hands at the end of a war agreeing to peace.” I attached these keys to the memory location, its how I pull data out on peace.

Lack of understanding, is due to the framework structure of the person your talking to. When you use religious words to talk to someone who has no interest with religion. Or when you talk to someone using scientific words, while the other person has no interest of science.

It all depends on the framework a person is working off. You need to process the information. Re-structure your framework, if needs be. Some people have too much data to crunch & need to enter rem sleep.

If your talking to someone, using words or “idioms” the person is not interested in or heard before. Like most people even if they not really listening. Just nod & say yes, yep. But if you ask them to repeat what you said back. Ye they really processed the data, rather than guessing. Specially when you inserted "meow" into what you were saying lol.

Of course people who are more like each other, are going to not see this happening as much. Because your brain is pulling long term memory into short or working memory what ever you want to call it. I would also assume maybe the brain would pre-catch data, that it thinks might need next. Or it will crunch it in long term memory & when ready it will be pulled out.

Edit:- If I point to a sheep in a field & no one has ever seen a sheep or a cow before & I told them a sheep was a cow. Then they talk to someone who knows what a cow is, they will think you have a screw loose.

Edit2:- I will also like to add they is a difference between ( spacing out, empty & meditation, that increases thinking).

Edit3:- & when someone wants to protect they framework, they will reject the information. Don't want to think about it.

Edit:4:- I just read this page from beginning again. I am totally lost about what you people mean by NT now. Sounds like your talking about extroverts.

Is this model correct:

Communication is made up of verbal, non-verbal and para verbal (tone of voice etc). Most NTs will automatically use all three sources of information. (Using NT as a very broad generalisation of average non-autistic people).

When there is a difference between what person 1 says and the observed non-verbal/para-verbal information from person 1, person 2 is likely to assume that what is shown, not said, contains the real message. Because NTs try to frame unpleasant things in a more socially acceptable way, they are not likely to be direct in their verbal communication, making it necessary to pick up on the non/para verbal communication to get the full message and intention of the person.

Is this correct, what am I missing? What would communicate to someone who doesn’t know about AS that what you say is more accurate than what you show?

Please don't use this thread for debates about intelligence, bell curves, grammar etc... I appologise if anyone is agrivated by my use of "NT", however I need some way to diffrentiate non-autistic from autistic. These debates really are not relevent to the thread.

Thanks for the responses to my questions, I appreciate the input so far and any further input.

I was going to suggest psychological projection.

Sorry, mate.
