Poll for autistic people. Do you think in binary terms - good/bad, black/white, good/bad? I would say I do. I am not saying I think simplistically, but I do want to draw a clear conclusion if I can (often I can't).

Option 3 is for those who think in nuance, but want others to talk to them in binary terms.

Poll for neurotypicals next in thread.

For me I usually think of things on a scale, such as probabilities. Then there can be thresholds which can categorise ranges on the scale (e.g. hungry, not hungry), and those thresholds can be on their own scale ranging from completely arbitrary to natural bifurcation points (e.g. the boiling or freezing point of water).

So yeah, it's a little complicated.
