How do you think about things?

I think associatively, deeply and incessantly about everything (when I say everything I meant everything related to the specific thing I like to think about. It was late when I wrote this :) . Its not that I think about knitting, swimming etc :) )  . I . If a topic is deep and meaningful then I feel immensely nourished by thinking about it. It does drain me though and I do it automatically. How do other people on here with official diagnoses of ASD think about things? I can stop thinking, its draining but I do enjoy it. I sometimes think that thinking is the only good thing there is to do in this life.

  • I analyse everything, it is very enjoyable. I think that I need to understand reasons all the time and constantly ask: Why?  

    Sometimes I find it difficult to slow my brain down and analyse things immediately once I have woken up.

  • I find that if your not careful it can get wasted on pointless rubbish so I try to keep my environment free from any noise so that that doesn't happen. If I don't think about the things I'm interested it I am constantly updating my web of intell about all the things that go on around me that I can't escape. I think thats useful for my well being. There are alot of dangers in the world so seeing them miles away is definitely an advantage.
