Question by stickyshoes: How do nonautistic people think and perceive things?
I’m diagnosed on the autistic spectrum. I was just wondering how different my brain was from everyone else’s, I mean how differently do other people think? Could you give me contrasts and comparisons? I’m on the lighter extreme of the spectrum, and light autism is more like ADD than regular autism- I was just wondering if just having a dash of autism would make me that much different.

My understanding of autism is that there are no filters, everything gets in: all of the white noise, too much feeling and so forth. I have the ability to ‘tune out’ things if needed. My ignorance of the condition prevents me from answering further.
