I have 3 similarly-affected friends, and my assessment is this: We're a diverse lot.
Are people without AS very curious?
Okay, statistically, I imagine that there would be a difference. Whether or not that difference is incidental is another matter.
Personally, I would consider myself to be curious. This is due to my unwillingness to accept established answers - I have no faith. I take nothing to be factual, I consider things to be likely or unlikely, not true or false. (To simplify conversations, I will state things that are likely as fact.) |

i consider myself very curious. but i think that stems from my obsession with art. all i ever what to do is create images. so i have a sever curiosity about just about everything. art, i believe, comes from experience so in some ways art and experience are my two obsessions. i don't mind. it keeps me out in the world and forces me to maneuver all kinds of different social situations. which is good because then i can feed my curiosity about people.
it just all feeds off one another. how much of this curiosity comes from me being an aspie could be thoroughly debated. i know many people who are quite normal who are just as curious as i. |

Some, I guess, are veyr knwoledge-oriented or veyr logical and therefore may be more curious than most. Some others may just be extremely curious about their special interest. |

Everyone is unique. But on average I think we are more curious. Substitute "scientist" with aspie:

Whew! I would tweak Dilbert's lever to see whether I could find a way to control the jolt -- no pun or sexual innuendo there -- then put it to a better use somewhere! However, I also have to be *very* careful about certain "curiosities" (sans fear) that occasionally come to mind and that would definitely cause much harm ...

I think aspie curiosity can be very blinkered, tunnel vision like, due to the black and white thinking problem. Something you don't want to see, doesn't fit your world view? Just turn your head slightly and it disappears from view. This is a huge barrier to learning and understanding.
