I'm autistic and my special interest in psychology and philosophy. why I have these discussions is I'm just observing people and seeing their responses or how they come to their conclusions. It's "Rare" when I fall back to debates. When I do it's typically because I'm trying to figure something out. You don't find a ton in debates but you do find things.
It's also a way to teach myself to remain calm under pressure.
Where are you on the spectrum? IE how well do you function?
I was diagnosed as being on the high functioning end of the spectrum at age 65, in 2012. That explained a great deal about my life, but didn't change all that much on a day to day sense. It did mean that I began to hate myself a bit less.
I'm glad you're here. I find it's a lot easier not having to try to interpret social cues and non verbal communication. They're a pretty good bunch here mostly. I hope you hang round for a while.
