To imagine it in the opposite direction, think of an austistic savant who can work out huge sums without really thinking about it, but the NT has the work his brain like a maniac to even try to work it out on paper let alone their head. In social situations it is the NT who can automatically read the situation, AS/Autistic types have to be the ones who work hard to figure it all out.
that is a really good why of putting it. I'm am slow to keep up with the conversation with nt's because i have to figure the social cues like body language and eye contact and not standing too far away or too close etc. It seems like hard work and too much trouble so why bother? I also liked what the next person said about being powerless to stop the train wreck lol.
