From 1:11 to 1:26, I get that. I want to look into more, because I used to think this had nothing to do with Autism, since I'd never heard or read anything about it. So, is there a word to describe it?

I don't know if there's a name for it, but there seems to be a similar thread here http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt200119.html if you're interested.

Anthropormorphism.

The tendency to imbue non human things with human traits.

That might be the word you're looking for. Maybe.

This is the word I use also.

My AS son and NT daughter and NT husband all do this. I do not (AS diagnosed) and it drives me crazy because a it messes up the order I have things in.
