My biggest, nonclinical, anecdotal observation is that autistic people don't approach the world with the same assumptions and biases that would come natural to someone else who was raised the way they were.

And I think that comes from the very literal thinking.

The literal thinking makes autistic people more objective, but also lack a bit of "common sense and reasonableness". Like, other people just know things about situations without having to figure it out. They just KNOW.

I'm looking for the people who have a tree in their mind.

What is your tree like?

Mine is on an island surrounded by water in the middle of a forest that is sometimes on fire. 

However, the river protects the tree and no matter what happens I must not let my tree catch fire.

I was startled awake on a bus in Mexico, into a reality where you're not here anymore.
