It's weird. I think in pictures of words.
I don't see an image when you say a word, I see the word either on white or brown paper. Sometimes the word has color.
If you speak sentences, it's like I'm reading a book.
I actually don't know whether to call that thinking in images or words, or synesthesia, or what. I'm ASD, btw. |

This poll is proving to be highly inadequate! Shame on the creator of the poll*!

| It honestly depends what I am doing. Memories are like film strips, writing and speaking is words, and everything else concepts. Sometimes I do not think at all and just know things, then I have to remember how I got it. |

I'm not sure if I understand the question. There are a few ways that those on the Autistic spectrum tend to think: visually, pattern-wise, and verbal... Is that what you're getting at?
I tend to learn verbally, but think in patterns...

I most commonly think in concepts, and detailed maps of relations can be traced between objects on the overall scheme of things. When speaking, I think in words and concepts. When inventing, drawing, or thinking through engineering processes, I think in images.
But yeah, mostly concepts, because those require the least active thought to get the point across the brain. Understandable language, even in thought, tends to take a while longer - and as such limits my ability to see everything connected to a situation. |

I'm not sure if I understand the question, but I think I think in concepts. When I write, I can never actually write about reality, only this abstract stuff that goes around stating the point. But then, maybe I think in words. hmm.
also, it's too bad there aren't more NTs to vote on this. |

What does it mean to think in concepts  I thought concept was something like an abstract idea & ideas can be thought in words or images.

I think with all three. Usually it's in partial sentences accompanied by images and memories and with some nouns and verbs replaced completely by concepts or images. When I'm stressed I think only in concepts and images.
I'm currently diagnosed with an unspecified, gifted learning disability and sensory issues, and am looking into a more formal AS diagnoses. |

Probably calling it thinking in concepts is not strictly correct but there isn't any other good word for it. For instance I can think about a mechanism and understand exactly how it works without words or images. I just know how it works. I virtually never think in images and words don't really work to describe that sort of thing. A friend of mine in the same situation would 'see' a movie of the mechanism in action.

Are the options in the poll from a particular test?
Or just created by the person who posted them? |

I am a visually thinker, but occasionally words might be added in (usually when I am rehearsing something).
