I usually can understand people and how they feel.I have this kind of bad habit.When people can't stop asking questions, I tell them they should know.It's just that people around me are so stupid.I hate listening to their tedious and repetitive questions.They still complain that I'm wrong for saying this.Do you have this?

I do the same thing with people, even my family. I get irritated when people ask me obvious questions (or questions that are obvious to ME, at least) that they should most definitely know (in my opinion). I sometimes recognize that I'm being an as*hole and stop, but other times I don't realize it and get mad.

Hm... If you know something, that doesn't necessarily mean they will know it. So they may seem ignorant to you because they don't have access to the information you have access to. It is necessary to be patient with them, just as they should be patient with you when you don't know something they know.

I always have to remind myself that people might not know what I'm talking about. I tend to assume people know things that they actually don't.

Every time my little Aspie call someone stupid because she/he should know that, I ask her something I know she does not know, and ask her if I should call "her" stupid.

I find really anoying that Aspie tendency to call people stupid. My husband and child both do that. Yes. I do know your IQ is usually higher, but you should remember you also have li
Iimitations and I bet you do not like being called names because of that.

I think you "power" is great. I've told my kid to practice hers so she can know it better and improve it. I think you should do the same. Maybe read about it. Having a special power is great!

I train co-workers. Most don't get it. They just show up for training so that they don't have to work. Then they blame me for their own incompetencies.

Some people just don't want to learn; because if they did, then they could only blame themselves.

People want to be ignorant.

It is easy for both NT and AS to mock each other.

Neither should. We all have our moments. We all have our differences and everyone is unique with certain things they are or aren't so good at. I do respect the effort of trying to become a better person in any respect. Many people don't want to, won't or just don't realize they can improve themselves. Some people don't know how to change for the better or in what way they would want to change. And of course everybody has a different way in which they see the world.

I have learned through the last few years that everyone has limitations - knowledge is finite, there is no logical way a person can speak from accuracy about every subject (yet, so many attempt anyways.) In my early teens, I was so conceited in my own world of superlatives, I would judge everyone based on what I knew, but they didn't. I do think I know a lot about certain things, but certainly not everything, nor every aspect of what I do know. I have learned to look for, and yield to understanding greater than my own - which, as I learn, is very often. Even things I already know are enriched by another person's point of view. This concept of listening and yielding (instead of talking over, or judging people as I did as a teenager) has actually become really important to me, as it is a way to learn more, to learn from other's experiences. I like to listen to experts talk about the things they study, and love. Just like I do. So, I cultivated a desire to listen.

An experienced/educated person will show good impromptu conversation based in a strong conceptual framing, and will be able to answer questions or explain things from more than one angle. Information integrity has nuts-n-bolts nuances that focus on the information itself, as well as navigating and relaying it (I recommend watching a few Richard Feynman interviews for an archetype of all these traits). It does not rely or focus on tone of voice, avoidance, vagueness, or generality . A person with significant training/education, attended by active use of that educational discipline, shows these fluid well-proportioned traits of solid, grasped knowledge. I watch for these traits specifically, because I have found also, that there are a lot of people who talk out their arse. A lot. Pedantic Aspies such as myself inculded.

That's not telepathy. That sounds more like empathy. Telepathy means that you can read people's minds. Unless I just read what you wrote wrong & you said that you think you do read people's minds.

Telepathy literally means 'empathy at a distance'.

Very frequently, I can know what the end of a conversation will be before it even starts. Simple explanation, I’ve studied conversation so much to build social scripts that I’ve identified patterns in conversation.
