Neurodiversity

[QUOTE=apocalipstic;60705]I wonder sometimes if I were neurotypical I would see things the same way and the same things would seem blaringly obvious.

what seems blaringly obvious to me is when NT's possess some odd sense of 'loyalty' to one another - even if all of the facts are not there , or even when another model is readily available to them. thinking outside of the box is not something i have experienced with many NT's.

i am writing about various family dynamics, friendships, and work environments - Sticking Together Policy- on unhealthy levels, for the sake of sticking together! like that is more important than opening up a mind to potential growth - or at least not ruling it out.

I have a difficult time with what feelings are and how they differ from thoughts.

Cyclopea, I really like the idea of a Safe Zone as long as everyone is welcome.

Then, people who might be triggered by certain types of discussions could just avoid the Safe Zone?
