Unfortunately this is true for everyone, including us. Many of us are ex lib, therefore we are already process-oriented. We think. We don't believe commercials are to be followed and believed. I'm the type of person who, the more ads I see, the less likely I will use whatever it is. CNN's smears only work on the average person. And many GOP members have loyalty due to branding, and the average IQ being low doesn't exclude us. So if you're a leader, remember that it's your responsibility to teach those around you to think.

Good catch! I see you and I think things. Already proving that more than a few of us really are process oriented.

I purposely made that generalization and left it to inspire those who might be inspired. Sometimes you can make something true by pushing people to realize their dreams. The only difference between a janitor and an inventor, sometimes, is telling that janitor they need to be confident with their random hobby of experimenting with hydrogen oxygen-powered toys. Or finding that garage-inventor with no social skills and offering to be a salesman and package their invention into a tiny, neat little box that has meaning for people in a way she or he couldn't understand because on-the-spectrum.

I'm a halfy. Been de-autisming myself ever since I was a teen, becoming more and more like the "charming liar" and less like the gullible functional engineer. I am trying to unite both worlds into a standard way of life that lets us symbiotically evolve instead of throw shade at each other.

For example, the non-gullible will throw insults at each other as a way of endearment. So many cases of "bullying" are the logical people misunderstanding this, thinking they're being hated on... when in reality the person's trying to be buddy-buddy. It eventually becomes bullying due to the lack of understanding of each other, but meh, can't fix it. Just use hindsight.
