I think that it all breaks down into a lack of awareness in several areas. If a person is overwhelmed they cannot pay attention to other things, if a person is developing in such a way that awareness is uneven then they can move fast in some areas but not in other areas. Because of uneven...

Autism is a Spectrum
I do not like being dumb
but all the books at the library are 20 years old and the only book about the brain is in the kids section.
I need money for real books.
I will ask for it tomorrow.
Why are you on a forum where dumb people like me exist?
Should you not be at some university somewhere?
I got no information from this conversation I could use as a learning source.
A social spectrum or something that is / can be measured in real terms?
Abnormal development I am aware of was measured in babies.
The back and front brain do not "synch up".

First: What is Autism?
Commonly it is believed that autism is an impaired social function.
However, it has been shown that autism is correlated with high IQ and parents with high IQ.
Notice how when people say "There is something different about that person but I don't know what" they are...
I have not totally figured it out yet.
But I saw a video saying the basal ganglia is important for breaking big problems into smaller ones.
I found this article and this image (not by the same research teams)

At the hospital, I had many moments where I lost memory of what happened but it was over a long period so it may be normal memory loss for half of it. I felt like I was an animal, a primitive human with no language and going on instinct. I recognized things visually and what they meant...
What I got from everything I tried to do in school was that busy work was what I had to do all the time. I never had time to stop and focus on relaxing.
Being only in my head all the time the disconnect from my body became apparent to me with my anxiety in 2022 and just now.
So working on my...
Mindfulness is an act of willpower.
Presently it is for me because it involves the body.
Being aware of what I "will to do".
It is like an energy I can be in control of in myself.
This feels better.

Do you think that willpower is something we can use our minds to...
Actually, it was the kings and queens of Europe who hired the alchemists to develop chemistry. These alchemists did interact with the Wickens but it was more about the Royalty needing the new technology of chemistry.
I believe that the government has UFO technology reverse-engineered from the...
The active mode of thinking creates emotional intensities.
The passive mode of thinking calms emotional activity.
I noticed that when I inhibit myself from active mode pain arises.
It is emotionally painful not to act on my impulses.
Yet it is calming to disconnect thoughts.

Mom - ISFJ (homebody)

My view changed when I realized the active vs passive role thinking plays in MBTI...
This is a bit confusing: see the bottom for a clean summary.
My first two examples are Adora and Catra. I mark them as the contrast between the opposites of Extraversion and Introversion, but they share all four of the same functions.
Extraverted Sensing happens to be more controlled by the...
It affects things in the same way all social phenomena do.
No laws of nature say to have elections every 4 years, but that does affect humans.
So Saturn orbits every 30 years, and Jupiter every 35 years.
Both of those are important years in human life.
Becoming a full adult and having a...
I recently visited a 30-something woman who talks to cats.
Given that extraverted sensing can allow you to see the tiniest of motions.
And no tv existed for a long time in human history.
People could understand animals and communicate with them on a deep deep level.
Having a trained cat in...
The culture I was exposed to in the 90s had a good portion of alien symbolism to it.
I live only about 50 miles away from the 1947 Rozwell crash site.
What interests me most is the technology.
At a museum, I learned that alien metals can heal themselves if cut.
I like the colors of shiny...
This can be divided into two types of stances in the world.
If the male is acting to provide everything in the way of maleness then he is active in what he does meaning he is moving such that it is constant. Likewise, the female would be characterized by non-actions or slightly slower and thus...
There are degrees of rationality and irrationality though.
Having a favorite color is not something people often get sent away for.
If a person is functional in society (most people are) then it is only at the extreme ends of irrationality that people notice things are not right with someone...
A short expo on the INTJ
I believe many aspects of the INTJ cannot be expressed unless we contrast this type with all eight functions. (It is a bit disorganized)
First Ni is in total opposition with Si because Ni is emptying the body for a pool of abstract stillness, yet Si is full of bodily...
It is a matter of realizing where feelings are in the body and not acting on the impulses. To direct them in a controlled setting to healthy choices.
We can focus on the feeling and mentally hold it until we let it go.
The feeling becomes the object of attention we hold firm.
This may be...
The OFC (orbital prefrontal cortex) is the brain area associated with impulse control.
Google told me that I need to resist impulses through self-observation and self-monitoring.
I believe this will be helpful for emotional regulation, awareness, and self-control.
I did a Google search.
"inhibitory control"
Eventually, I found a video by
Dr. Jack Naglieri
Cognitive Assessment System
It is an alternative to IQ testing,
based on Executive Functioning.

Afterward, I remember looking for a computer version.

The main claim of this thread is that there is a difference between discussing hypothetical and actual ontological stances one has as intrinsic beliefs core to one's identity and survival.
When people confuse them they fight and this happens as a matter of evolutionary processes in group...
@Hadoblado
You can take this one of two ways.
Me talking about what happened to me personally,
or me abstracting what happened to me.
In the abstraction, I am not attacking anyone.
personally, if you were interested in what I was saying about "my mind baby" then that requires tack which...
This is very stressful but I will try and explain what it is that makes it hard right now for me to talk to anyone.
People often assume that when you say something you are saying it because you believe it 100% and will die defending it. This is not true in the sense that rational people who...
I think what distinguishes introverted intuition is the silence one has in the head.
Earlier I was seeing what made Ti as it was and that was the internal speech thing.
For if we have an introversion then we have a function that contains self-generation.
Si is the insula or body awareness...
I think what happens is that before the mind shuts down we are trying to understand what is happening but can't seem to. So before we completely shut off mistakes happen. These mistakes lead us to question what we are doing and notice delirium. At that point, all we can do is find a safe spot to...
It is hard for me to put a finger on what I believe.
What defines my problems are two things.
Other people
low energy
It seems I have to accommodate others because if I don't bad things happen. This is a real causal effect. No matter how upset I get at people I have to not do anything to...
I do not understand it.
Most times I do not have thoughts, I just feel bad or good.
Thoughts happen unconsciously I suppose, I don't talk to myself in my head.
So what is this supposed to be about?
Do people really monolog things in their heads, to me that is not thinking at all.
To say...
I encountered this before where no one had anything meaningful to say.
All they did was ask what I was hoping to discuss which is just spam in my opinion because they are adding nothing to what I have said. Making me do all the work.
So you too add nothing but want to blab about it for some...
No treatment for autism exists, I get that.
But what does the profile mean?
I am slow and can only remember so few items at once.
Yet I can do great at understanding language and doing spatial tasks.
I heard that central coherence is important to drawing and video games.
This is weak in me...
So the mention that a person can be 160 IQ and still just draw stick figures really hit home. Maybe not in math or chess or anything where a person solves problems in their head real fast but in terms of abstract thought. I found out that drawing stick figures is associated with low white matter...
@edmaster111
ruling over people is not something the uberman would want to do
This person who is IQ 175+ ruling over a group of IQ 125 people would be like a person 125 ruling over people who are IQ 75
They would just not be compatible so the uberman is happier by himself.
It would be interesting to know if INFJs can be autistic.
Because that would be a contradiction as both have their stereotypes.
INFJ's super-understand people.
Autists super don't understand people.
Female INTJs are not feelers but they are not men either.
Male INFJ's look like them, but I...
1. I have been seeing her for a year, we barely started talking about emotions three weeks ago. Mostly we talk in the men's group.
2. She is ESTJ and worked as an investigative attorney in law enforcement.
3. She would be a better social worker/manager than a therapist (can get things done)...
When I am with my therapist I need to think hard about what I need to say.
Normal interactions become difficult because I can't say what I really think.
This is because she judges everything and does not listen.
It is as if you talking to woke people. Everything you say is judged.
Since...
I can see that.
I call it rest.
Anxiety is when the task is hard and the skill is low.
For me, it was the anticipation or the perception things would be harder than they actually were.
Not really the culture, but in school it was the only culture I knew.
Outside of that things change but...
