I think the way I think is better than most people.
I disregard emotion because it's irrelevant.
I pride myself on doing things other people find difficult.
I think in black-and-white terms.
I like to solve problems.
I like to be direct and be spoken to directly.
I dislike vagueness.
I eat the same food every day because I know it's good for me.
I'm physically active because I know it's good for me.
I like routine because it's more efficient and streamlines my life.
Does anyone else think that they are superior to neurotypical people and if so how so?
I think superiority is wholly subjective in self-referential terms.
It depends on the frame of reference.
And the value we ascribe to the content.
I could think of a few ways in which I could claim to be superior, using popular measures, if I cared at all about doing so. But since my values are different, it's irrelevant to me.
If there are things we like and enjoy about ourselves, I tend to think that's an end in itself.
Do we need to measure ourselves against others?
