RE: https://mas.to/@KatyElphinstone/116164957970499355 Ten-point list from @KatyElphinstone 's thread on the way autistic people think: 1. Autistic people like to base our positions and decisions on data. 2. We’re into justice, and fairness. 3. And logic (which is, I feel, a good strategy for bringing about more fairness). 4. We're not comfortable trusting reassurances without evidence. 5. We like clarity. Lack of clarity can make us anxious. 6. We think probabilistically / statistically. 7. We can be a bit like pattern-seeking missiles. 8. When new evidence comes to light, we’re generally adaptable – even if it takes a minute. 9. That said, we may dig in our heels about things (like change) when we’re anxious or scared. 10. We like gathering data, and interactions that are a true exchange of information.
