LINK to discussion-thread in another Autism forum reating cognitive biases to the Autism Spectrum.

How would cognitive biases differ, or even share similarities amongst those on the Autism spectrum and NTs?

I think some on the autism spectrum want to think themselves immune to some of those biases, which is a dead end.

After re-reading the LINK in (OP) containing specific examples of cognitive biases, idiosyncrasies, etc. , it might be reasoned that quite a few of these cognitive biases might best be described as "NT versions of the Autism Spectrum!"

Any similar perspectives?

Interesting question. Here's one my son does:

All or Nothing
Things must be perfect or else they are awful. Even the smallest imperfections cannot be tolerated. "Not my favorite food"=terrible. 1% risk=way too much risk.

More often than not, I acknowledge that those important things cannot be understood as an 'either/or' , 'black & white' contexts - that is many subtlties, nuances, ramifcations, etc. make-up even the most basic things in life.

The considerations that cognitive biases might sometimes be similar to "NT versions of the Autism Spectrum" deserves further........considerations!
