Subtle?
I think Autistic people in general realize something is off. The key is realizing they aren’t necessarily unique.
Uriel238 [all pronouns]As a kid I knew something was off (I didn’t have the language to call it something) because I couldn’t answer T/F and multiple choice questions honestly due to nuance. I often knew the answer the teacher was expecting but to answer it according to that assessment felt intellectually dishonest.
My psychiatrist has mentioned that it appears like it’s important for me that things are logical.
But it really started to rub me the wrong way because i know all people including myself are inherently illogical and make mistakes all the time.
The more accurate terminology i recently found is “intellectual integrity”. “Intellectual dishonesty” fits very well as a related term.
If you know, you know. If you dont notice anything yourself, dont even try.
