I am aware that I may be missing certain experiences that are emotion-based, but for me, thinking that is less impacted by emotion is likely focused more on concrete problem-solving. Most autistic people, regardless of their thinking style, rely more on logic than emotion. It may be another genomic trade-off, but I don’t bring a whole lot of emotional baggage to any situation. I don’t get caught up in the emotion; instead, my mind starts to problem-solve. That’s one advantage.
