I know that people with autism think differently but I’m confused on how neurotypicals think. All the articles are written for neurotypicals and assume you already know how they think. Can someone please explain?

I think there is a particular neurotype that we label neurotypical, but I don't think it's necessarily that typical. I call it neuro-efficient. If their brains were a map it would just show the motorways and major cities. Very quick but not always accurate.
That's a good analogy.
Take a look at the image I posted on here recently, showing scans of an autistic brain processing social functioning compared to a non autistic brain.
The non autistic brain has a major 6 lane highway to get from A to B. Meanwhile the autistic one visits every little minor road, coastal village, farm, beach, headland, etc along the way.
Woah!
That's so cool to actually SEE it.
