I think in pictures a lot of the time. It's easier than forming coherent sentences.
I also recall memories like "movies". I can typically recall word for word what people have said to me by "replaying" the "movie memory" in my head.
It all happens a lot faster than I can speak.
I still think in words and emotions and stuff, but pictures and videos give me more to think about. It's kind of like watching a movie with subtitles and narration.
Whenever I think of dates or timeframes, or money amounts of money, not cash , I imagine it as a picture. Dates are as calendars, and time frames are calenders or timelines, and money is a vertical timeline, but.. with money. That's just one of the few things I visualize in my head
Autism as the mental disorder comes in a wide variety of manifestations, ranging from simply strange thinking to serious social issues. Autism as the insult is just a buzzword insult. It's like faggot, faggot.
