I've had this theory about NT's interactions (not bashing)

Post Reply New Topic

I think that NTs work a bit like computers in social situations, and that people in the ASD are like humans, and in the social situations it's a computer and a human, Why have I thought this?

Computers can do equations and math problems really fast ranging from 1 + 1 to calculus problems correctly (except when they bug) and are the masters of mathematics but they aren't conscious on what are they doing, they just do exactly the thing that's been put on them, they just go to the solution without thinking.

This is exactly how NTs work in social situations, just change everything related to maths with social related things and you've got an NT.

And ASD people can be the humans, they can learn maths and apply them correctly but they can fail and can't go as fast as a computer but they know the steps that lead to the solution unlike computers that do it unconsciously, but this can make them think a lot on the steps and constantly being sure of things, because a human can't turn into a computer.

And this is how social situations work for them:
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
COMPUTER - COMPUTER


Comp1: I give you this problem: x + y = 320

2x + 2y = 102

(1 Sec later)

Comp2: Solved, here's the solution = X = ...

Comp1: Solved as I wanted, give me a problem or I give you a problem.

Comp2: Here you have it (problem)

And it goes on and on

In social style: NTs talking

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Human - Computer

Human: Computer, solve this problem: (x + 3) (x-3) = 1/0 (Assume this hasn't got solution)



Computer: What is this? It hasn't got any solution, I've never seen this (crashes)

In social style: ASD commits a social mistake, NT gets pissed
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Computer - Human

Computer: Solve this problem: x + y = 320

2x + 2y = 102

Human: OK, emmmm.. how was it?

(60 sec later)

Human: the solution is...

(Computer's turned off 55 sec ago for being idle)

In social style: ASD has to think about what social rule to use and NT gets impatient and ends interaction
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
or

Human: Solve this: x + 1 = 2

(0.1 sec later)

Computer: x = 1

Computer: Solve this: x + y = (3x2+5)1/x
2x - y = 6x3+5(1/x)
Human: 1????

Computer: You haven't solved it the way I wanted, you're not a computer, turning Off...

In social style: ASD tries to talk to NT and NT suddenly uses gestures, voice tone... for telling the ASD something that's got another sense, the ASD misinterprets that and NT sees him / her as weird and ends interaction.


This is how I think social situations work for both ASD people and NTs, and if this topic's been very milked or it breaks some rules (I don't think I'm bashing anyone...) Just let me know, OK?

Thanks for reading all.

TL;DR: NTs work like computers and ASD people as humans and they impose problems to each other as if maths were like social situations, and ASD can't easily get close to an NT's level.



Sorry for bad grammar or vocabulary, English isn't my native language

I can see where you're going with this socialization as maths analogy.

When I'm dealing with easily confused people I get the feeling that I'm using a very old, broken down computer. Asking them a question is like Googling something and waiting a minute for the page to load. Very frustrating.
