Really enjoyed reading about your intuitive gifts! Especially because there is a stereotype that autistic are not spiritual, creative, or artistic, bur rather that we only excel at left-brained skills. I find this frustrating as I have always believed my strong spiritual and intuitive dimensions are what made me excel at math and science. Ofc autistic people really are heterogeneous, but I feel like my left-brain and right-brain sides have always worked together and that it’s due to autism not in spite of it.

Oh gosh yes - what a great point! I soo agree. I am stereotypically more of an artistic, creative, intuitive person in terms of behavior, but I feel like my left brain is a huge driver of my art and intuition internally. Writing is a perfect example of this for me. Thanks for reading and sharing.

Very resonant especially with the curiosity, seeing things/details/patterns etc.

I'm grateful for you sharing all of this. 🫶🏻

Yes, your latest piece on being able to predict stuff even in books or movies because you noticed all the details prior to the moment of it happening - I related to it so much! Thank you for reading and commenting, I really appreciate it :)

I love this insight into your gifts. I have always been really intuitive when it comes to people - I know almost instantly whether I am going to be comfortable being myself around them. I can't see auras or anything like that, I just get...vibes? I'm only just now realizing that's likely connected to my autism as well. I assume it's related to how I tend to pick up on patterns easily. And I love drawing connections between things I've noticed, or bits of knowledge I've picked up, or seemingly unrelated topics.
