When said some people live in parallel universe, well what does that mean if you have ASD?

I'm still confused after watching how Trump learner about illegal aliens act, and tariffs. But original authors of tariffs meant this to counteract dicey people or just lacked real IQ to trade better?
I lacked ability to be underhanded, to know how to knock my competitors down, I honestly thought in my 'dumb' mindset that others were working on their honest projects, too.
I think I only started to begin to understand life at about 30 years, all very confusing.

Maybe I'm just not understanding what parallel universe is!! !

So on diagnostic criteria of spectrum is understanding of capacity to lie, or conclude like Trump, Mel Gibson and Elon that half lie is best because may be believable which is different from projecting where accuse others of what you do.
Pardon, this is all to confusing for me, even to this day.
So watching my friends feed dogs, and have to watch as eat one another's food, and I'm realising that aside from neglecting to sometimes eat, I simply don't relate to the animal kingdom, I mean at all.

In another life...
In another universe...
In another timeline... More or less the same principle.

In another world, in another reality.

Sort of like that.
Certain changes from a certain period of the past, significantly influencing the future outcomes and the events that happens.

Those stuff are 'factors' that influences outcomes. Some are controllable, but a lot of it are not.

Whether where the world was placed where with tweeks to the laws of physics, to what socks you've worn into during your 9th grade that one Friday...


Thought plenty about it.
It doesn't have to be rocket science complicated.
One doesn't need to be ultra intelligent, only mentally flexible enough to come up with such notion. But not everyone have the foundation to not their minds get blown too easily; that's not really intelligence, just knowing.


As for "having ASD" and "living in a parallel universe"; it can mean few things.

One can be the theorical physics of this world's current existence; that there is an entire world where it occupies the same spaces as we all do, just currently unperceivable to most of us.

It can go to the realms of spirituality and religion, or conspiracies about aliens, ghosts, and non-human intelligent entities...
Can be all about this reality's glitches or some trip gone bad.


Another is this political, socioeconomic and geological realities comparing onto each other.
Paralleling that this human lives under X regime, while this set of people are complying under Y religion. It implies privilege, discrimination, certain social issues.

Kinda like the common between genders; men do not have to worry about the dangers of the streets the same way women do, or that this country has less life expectancy because of whatever factors unlike it's neighbors or whatever.
In autism, it mean living very different lives and reality compared to allistics and neurotypicals alike.
In one reality, they don't belong. In another reality, they do. No different from comparisons between the able bodied from those who aren't.

But this is less about theorical physics and more about the social dynamics thingy.


I'm more interested in the former.


Another are series of what-ifs, which is can be a combination of both or a variation of the latter's social comparisons thingy.
Which can raise certain questions in one's existence, their choices and outlook, etc.

Whether it's a notion around freewill, luck, control...
And different worlds where different decisions happen may exists parallel in our reality.
Kinda like this; in this world, a guy won the lottery. But in another world and many others, the same guy did not won the lottery. And those worlds will split exponentially.

Many autistics who plays with such ideas thinks of a world where they're not autistic.
Or if the world is a safer place for us instead. Or if we are that defines the neurotypical majority.
Or if the condition and label never exists.
Etc.

Wikipedia wrote:
A parallel universe, also known as an alternate universe, parallel world, parallel dimension, alternate reality, or alternative dimension, is a hypothetical universe co-existing with one's own, typically distinct in some way.  The sum of all potential parallel universes that constitute reality is often called the "multiverse".

Fiction has long borrowed an idea of "another world" from myth, legend and religion. Heaven, Hell, Olympus, and Valhalla are all "alternative universes" different from the familiar material realm.

The following definitions relate to a universe's "timeline" or universal history.

Divergent: Assumes each universe originated in the Big Bang, but each branched off into its own "timeline" due to anything from a quantum fluctuation to a universal event. Universes may re-converge later when conditions revert to their original states.

Parallel: Assumes a different "Big Bang" for each universe, wherein events and conditions are similar, but not quite the same -- even physical laws may differ.

When someone says something so much different than you would, it is common to consider that the other person is so much different that some ask, "What color is the sky in your world?"

It is not so much a suggestion that one actually lives on a different world, but a sort of metaphorical description of the observation of a significant difference.

For example, if you were sitting on a bench in a park watching children play and the person sitting next to you said, "I bet they would taste good". It might make you think he was a cannibal. It is this sort of unexpected encounter that prompts such comments.
