they often say aspies lack empathy they also often say we have to think about everything we do. normal people don't have to think about everything they do and have empathy... atleast thats the story. now what i would like you to imagine is how it would be to not have to think about opening the door.

I am always offended when people call the 99 percent of the population ''normal people'' because it is a little overestimated. Shall we just say NTs, being there are neurotypes who aren't Aspie nor NT?

I'd "like" that if I could. I have been thinking this for a while.

What do you mean normal people don't have to think about everything they do? How can you do stuff without thinking about it?

All you have to do is set Brain to Autopilot! Cool


If you do that, though, you may end up walking out the door with both sets of keys, leaving your fiance with no way to get to work or lock the door. Oh wait, that was just yesterday. Nerdy

I have to at least attempt an autopilot on some things in order to function but I end up with many unexplained bruises/scratches/aches/pains. I screw things up even when I'm concentrating though. Thankfully I've only actually run into a door a few times.
