Do autistic people here think like me?
Level one autistic, diagnosed like 8 years ago:
I remember when I was in college, I took: introduction to psychology. And in that class I learned about the defense mechanisms.
While I was learning about these, I was like, “Wow, I better not do that” to them all. And I worked hard not to do these things.
I don't think any of the neurotypical people in the class thought like that. Instead of treating it like they were being given a secret code that could help them not have issues, they just memorized the defense mechanisms and their definitions. …at least that's what I think they did—I supposed I could be wrong.
Anyway, do you think like me regarding things like this?
