anticipating the reaction of doing something

Post Reply New Topic

I have ADHD, Aspergers traits (ASD traits).

People with ADHD, can have trouble, anticipating the possible resulting consequences.

Could this be a characteristic of Autism (Aspergers) due to inflexibility of thought ?

If person who has a combination of ADHD, minor condition ASD traits or ASD, it can be a problem as a result of the combination of the conditions ?

If one consider Aspergers a neurological variant where one has a neurological configuration that is faster, more complex, or more sensitive, one might expect that such faster processing might result in taking action on first order thoughts.

Many times full consideration of consequences happens more slowly as additional thought associations resulting in secondary or tertiary processing brings them to consciousness.

It can be helpful to delay actions until more complete consideration can be given to a particular action.

"He who hesitates is lost".
"Look before you leap".

Between these two it can be advisable to give as much "looking" as you can.
