NTs excel at seeing the bigger picture as in the subcontext behind the context. However seeing the subcontext comes across as second nature for them seeing as their brains are neuro'typical', there's no guess work that needs to be done, unlike the aspie who instinctually takes whatevers been said as literal and then has to cognitively interpret the subcontext.

my brief model of language is as follows:

emotion -> intention -> language
emotion + intention = subcontext
language = context

but the thing i've always found strange is when you eavesdrop another conversation, the subcontext is obvious but when you're talking to another individual or group of people it becomes extremely difficult - so the aspie brain is definitely capable of doing it, its just presumably the aspie brain is hyper focused on being able to actually produce a coherent sentence and comprehend the context of what the other person has said instead of deciphering the meta subcontext of what the other person is saying.

ideally you'd have to train yourself to just become extremely good at subcontext guess work by pure cognition and hope you don't miserably miss the mark.

however, i think this might be borderline impossible because while in a conversation the NT is using their meta cognition to comprehend the language, in the literal sense, and then unconsciously outsources their subconscious to comprehend the subcontext - So the aspie has to somehow use their cognition (articualblie, logic) to blindly make the judgement as to what the subcognition (inarticulable, illogical) is trying to do and at the same time as trying to deviate the cognition away from interpreting what is being literally said from the other person

jfl the game is fucking rigged

"First, as concerns the sources of metaphysical cognition, it's very concept implies that they cannot be empirical. It's principles, including not only its basic propositions but also its basic concepts must never be derived from experience"

yeah i think the only legit method is training the sub/unconscious by extreme exposure therapy while it's at its most malleable (childhood/adolescence)

fortunately for me i spent the entirety of my adolescence browsing 4chan and speculating race science
