Hmm, I don’t know if bottom up precludes the use of categories. When I use them, I still try to collect more data to add towards supporting or going against the category. I only rely on them when expediency is required. Whereas allists prefer to rely on them. But I am ADHD as well, to add another data point.I get what you are saying about the conscious vs. subconscious difference. I just noticed that the pattern was similar to the top-down/bottom up thing so was wondering if there is a connection. Clearly I need more data. :blob_cat_thinking: 😛

Sounds a lot like the top-down vs. bottom-up styles of thinking that often differentiates allistic and autistic people.

I remember that decades ago this was considered a classic men vs. women thing, so I wonder why that is, what’s going on there. Did “male culture” pick up this trait from their 1% minority somehow? Or is there something else to this? :blob_cat_thinking:I remember an incident where my best friend’s girlfriend got pissed off at him for doing this (in retrospect I believe he is classic ADHD), and kicked him out of his own room so she could talk to me alone because I was just listening to her. So, on the surface that’s weird since I was the autistic one. OTOH, I’ve had plenty of people tall me what a great listener I am, when it’s more do to with me being “quiet and shy” around people I’m not entirely comfortable with yet, and this too scared to offer solutions. So in that respect, yes, me doing so would be a sign of how comfortable I am with you.

I’m not sure how it works. Could be it’ll come with time, or you need to click on the server, or follow someone on that server, or vice versa. 🤷
It was just a happy face, except a “blob cat” style. https://www.pngitem.com/pimgs/m/588-5880321/_blob-cat-emoji-discord-hd-png-download.png
