For me I think there's kind of a flow:<br /><br />Strong analytic/logical thinking leads to strong emotions (because I see implications) and general extreme expressiveness causes those to come out passionately so in turn I'm a driver because I'm passionately arguing for or against something with both logic and emotions. I WANT to be a considerate person but in the heat of a discussion or dispute all that gets steamrollered--just like the occasional conversation partner involved, and any other priorities I had. I have to step back and have some time and emotional space to apply that logic/feeling combo to strengthening relationships, and that's only going to happen when I'm in a lull, even though I try to moderate myself.<br /><br />Mental health professionals in the past have disagreed on whether or not I should have an ASD diagnosis, but I definitely have severe anxiety and can't always speak. Work has definitely helped bring out my excessively assertive communication style, but it's always been there when I was able to communicate freely. I think it's great if many aspies and introverts see themselves in the "systematic" pattern, but also remember that plenty of us aren't going to fit any given stereotype.escihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09345615862032951136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-45934813282220475152014-06-10T18:10:24.675-04:002014-06-10T18:10:24.675-04:00Thanks.Thanks.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092500646246056371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-25248053089163071742014-06-10T06:28:42.939-04:002014-06-10T06:28:42.939-04:00Cool stuff.
