Is it your blog? Do you have some thoughts about it? Do you find it useful?

I don't read very much when even the font seems unconvinced. Has anyone ever seen a book printed in medium-light grey?

It suggests a rainforest mind means you're a deep thinker, a deep feeler, and a deep intuiter.

I think a lot of Aspies can be deep thinkers. Feeler is debatable (since this usually means knowing and relating to the feelings of others). Intuiter, definitely not. Almost the antithesis of our experience in an illogical NT world. Can't get behind this, seems a little too woo-woo for me.

I think it has more to do with HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) than ASD.
