Aspergers and intuition

Post Reply New Topic

I would like to know if any of you guys have a strongly developed sense of intuition and if so, trust these intuitive feelings and thoughts.
I am a bit confused when it comes to my own intuition and sometimes I don´t know if my intuition is telling me the truth or not.

I shall give you an example. I have known someone for quite a long time now, like 20 years or so, but everytime I see that person I feel incredibly ill at ease and distrutful towards that person, even a bit scared sometimes. I have no idea what causes me to feel that way and I even dislike my feelings because I think they might be unjust. I don´t know if it´s just me being paranoid or something or whether there might be some truth in the way I feel. I do believe in intuition but I am in serious doubt when it comes to my own.

Do you have the same experiences when it comes to intuition or am I alone in this.

My experience pretty much matches yours.

My intuition ranges from "way off" to dead on. So no, my intuition sorta sucks, but occasionally I get glimpses of awesome intuition, but usually it's off and just sucks. I think as I got older, I trusted my intuition less and less, to the point where I did almost nothing intuitively, now I'm starting to be a bit more intuitive again, but yeah. I think NVLD in general makes your intuition go down the tubes, and I'm NVLD with probably comorbid Aspergers, or my NVLD makes me similar to Aspergers, or something like that.

I have very good intuition and I listen to it. I don't go out past 4:30 in the evening, because I know that it's not safe to be out by myself at that time of the day. I also know to stay away from school zones between 8 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon, during the school year.

I think there was a time in which I did trust my intuition, probably somewhere in the distant past. That time is gone know and I don`t know if I`m wrong or right these days. That`s a bad thing because it makes me feel more insecure when I`m among other people. All of that selfdoubt is not doing me any good anymore but on the other hand I`m totally unable to let go of some of these intuitive feelings. I have even developed a tendancy to get obsessed by them. A very tiresome preoccupation.

I have extremely good intuition. There are things that I don't do or places where I don't go because I feel that I should not for reason I can't explain.

Unfortunately, there are times when I'm forced to rationalize, explain, and justify this feeling to people which I obviously can't... and they tend to mock me, roll their eyes and push me to do it anyway, which I do, then something bad happens.
More often than not, my intuitions are right, but I can't translate them into words.

Now I don't justify myself ever anymore when I *feel* I should be doing something or not.

Intuition and the rational mind are mutually entwined - there is no irrational intuition, although there may well be misguided, or misinformed intuition.

Nothing happens in the mind without drawing from past experience or knowledge. Rational thought - conscious rational thought - is just one way to solve a problem you're familiar with. Intuition is another.

As for me: I trust my intuition for work and art, but not so much with social situations.

I have very strong intuition and it's pretty much always correct. However, as far as I understand it, intuition is simply a process of reasoning and analysing all kinds of information with enormous capabilities beyond the concious mind - at least mine is. That said, this "impression" or "gut feeling" can be analysed later and - so far - I always arrived at the same conclusion.

I usually go with my intuition since I can rely on it but also later check it's merit. This helps me the most in improving things about my ADHD and ASD because I have a general idea whether something works for me or whether something is up socially before I have to take my time to actively figure it out.
