Reasoning

Star

Does any one with ASD have problems reasoning with non ASD people . I think we think logically but they don’t feel like my mind works on a higher level and people thing we are unreasonable

  • I think that it is more a problem of COMMUNICATING one's own reasoning, rather than the REASONING itself.

    I struggle to communicate both my reasoning, and my intent behind that reasoning.

    That struggle is not solely limited to NT folk.

    I note from my experiences and observations in this place, that autistic souls struggle with communication amongst themselves too.

    This is definitely true.

    For me it's an issue of slowness. I can think deeply and rationally on a topic - let's say a problem-solving thing like best transport solution for a group to go to [such and such a place].  Reach a conclusion, share this conclusion, others disagree "that's obviously wrong, the normal way of getting there is [x]". There's an inherent sense of superiority on their part and me trying to counter this with logic and the colossal effort to articulate my reasoning is just too much. So I'll end up feeling frustrated, cede my position, and gradually attempt less and less problem solving on future occasions.
