Aspie nature with cause and effect

Post Reply New Topic

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it's an Aspie thing to be delayed with learning how you cause certain effects. This could be on more than one level. Like as a toddler, if you throw it and it breaks that you make the connection that it broke because you threw it. Or if you hit someone and they cry, that you make the connection that they are crying because you hit them. Then as we grow, the cause and effect becomes more abstract... like did you fail that class because the teacher doesn't understand you or because you didn't do all the work? Or, did you get fired because you said something rude or because someone else didn't like you?

I'm wondering if anyone has heard of this, and if it's something the clinical world has considered or if it's just a WP observation.

I do not know whether this an an Aspie trait, but I often still wonder what actually causes a certain effect and/or how to possibly change that effect the next time even though I already know something might break if/when I throw it.
