So, while watching Kidding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidding, I realize I'm still rather unworldly and misunderstand the way the world works. I'm not saying I'm one to *completely* ignore reality but I'm still idealistic. I view the world in a way that isn't negative or positive or even realistic but I view and act within the world as a person who will always read the terrain, seeing things as they "really are" from the widest perspective imaginable. Humans beings are social animals par excellence and through basic observation, native to the need to survive, causes us, whether NT's or aspie, to behave in a way that is conducive to our survival, whether emotionally or physically.
Then you have the differences between aspie and NT thinking if such a difference can be so-called. Through personal experience, ASD thinking is outside the norm. This could mean we angle our perceptions to examine the widest number of possibilities, taking in everything we can and examining all the attributes, traits, faults and all, to gain a full understanding. When you grow up with that type of thinking, the process of induction, however exhausting, leads to worldviews and beliefs that stand at higher vantages than the typical, "I just need to get through the day" mindset. What one person might consider "the bad" based on past experiences, trauma or intellectual shortcutting, an aspie like myself might ask the question "do we know enough about (the subject) in question?" before drawing conclusions.
Now, I'm not saying I lack judgment but, given many on the AS may not be as connected through anger, hate or disgust that many NT's on certain subject matter. This could lighten our view of the world since we can see many phenomena, processes or ideas as ever-growing, ever-changing, complex or otherwise untenable in being within the scope of one point of view or another. True, we're all a product of our experiences, but folks on the spectrum would perceive the world differently than others would, perhaps being focal analytically as opposed to forwarding our emotions. And, in growth and later to maturation, we develop a sense of the world that is more relaxed, less tense.
Even naive.
What does everyone else think?
