Anthropomorphism

I found the meme below the other day and it occurred to me that I do have a habit of talking to inanimate objects and treating them like they are sentient beings.

It never occurred to me that this might be an autistic thing though. Do you do this?

    It's never really occurred to me that they're not.

    I mean, I recognize that most people would disagree, but it's like everything has an opinion, has feelings. Is alive, in some sense.

    There's an interconnectedness in that way, and I think I'd rather live in that world than in one where there were just people. 

    And everything else was just... stuff.
