I think I can think both ways. I can understand and think like what you would call a "NT", and I can understand and think like what you would call an "Aspie".

I can even understand the total dissociated state that people with LFA seem to live in. As well as people with varying diagnosis - eating disorders, depression, anxiety, narcissism, people from all cultures, OCD, children, old people, dyslexics, alcoholics, hoarders, even criminals.

Some of it is an intellectual understanding, coupled with mimicry, coupled with just a 'vibe' or feeling that I pick up when I listen to other people.

So if you can think like everyone, who are you?

I've always thought I was nobody. A blank slate that's been filled up by sketches of the people I've encountered. There is no actual 'me'.

Can anyone understand that?

Prove that you can think like an Aspie. Prove that you can think like an NT.

Who am I? As far as I know, the only person that thinks like me, is me.

You only think you can think like other people. You're probably deluding yourself.

Hello. I've recently been thinking about this sort of thing. I feel like I am two people. An NT and an Aspie. Of course thats probably because I am! Its a weird and confusing prospect. I'm a bit tired so can't really put into words what I really mean. :D

I don't think I feel NT really. I have very abstract and rigid patterns of thinking. I see things my own way.

(^^^^^^ I love your avvie, I LOVE Rainbow and Zippy!)

Hmmm, I see what you mean. I think I can see things both ways almost like i've been conditioned. Its like AS is the natural way for me. I'm glad you like Rainbow and Zippy. Its still my favourite programme ever. People think i'm crazy but oh well. :D

Oh ha ha. I have sent you a PM

I think more like an aspie but I don't think there is such a thing, same as NT thinking.

I feel I live in between two worlds, between aspie and NT.

Ooookay now I am thoroughly confused. :?
I am moving on before I hurt myself.

PS- "who are you?" was rhetorical, sorry

Again, how do you know? You only know how *you* think. Assuming you know how other people think is a very dangerous thin to do.

As for me, I don't think like an Aspie or an Entie. I think like me. I think how I think (I don't know enough Latin to Latinize it, but I'll learn).
