    Planning

    Howdy folks! Have you tried using kanband boards. I have tried in the past but I found that such boards try to simplify the process too much. I mean, simplifying too much is bad as that forces you to look more at the "big picture" and miss the details. What are your experiences?

    Central coherence?

    Very interesting. I found this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.spectrumnews.org/news/cognition-and-behavior-pitch-perception-heightened-in-autism/amp What I heard when I read that article was: "you are not even very good at the skills that autism makes you good at!". I play and sing but I was...

    Central coherence?

    Are you saying that there many different "big pictures"? "There are differences in the kinds of ‘big picture’ here obviously. One refers to systems and the others, of the kind that Frith and Happe automatically assumed to be universal, have an essential social element. It should be reasonably...

    Central coherence?

    Sure, a singer can just learn how to sing the words without any understanding. I was only referring to the fact that I am not sure that a person can't have both be "music and math thinkers" and "verbal logical thinkers" at the same time. and what does this have to do with weak and strong central...

    Central coherence?

    I was referring to people who use words. A singer often sing with words. Even if a singer would have issues with stuttering one thing is true: people with stuttering are good with words but have difficulties when they speak. It would be very interesting to meet a person who is bad with words but...

    Central coherence?

    I don't really think Grandin can be trusted that much. My personal thinking is that music and word thinkers can be the same. A singer muat be good with both words and music, right?

    Central coherence?

    Do you think that people with ASD can have both a good and a weak central coherence depending on the situation and the strategies one have learned to use? Do some of us have a gestalt perpection rather than a weak central coherence? Are some of us people with both pattern seeking and weak...

    Well, you can get stuck or learn do something that is not good at all. Focusing is not helpful in itself. This is what I have to say. This is one reason why people who are very interested in something don't always learn something. Being interested and focusing ia not enough! Just having a...

    Auditor? You write as if everyone knows what that is. Should people know what it is?

    Focusing a lot on something will not automatically make you better at something. I mean, it can even give you problems. You need the right kind of practice in order to be good at something and you can practice in such a way that you will get real bad habits. It is more complex than some say it...

    Koseligt is such an amazing word. People with ASD can be detailed-oriented. Too much focus on just one word can be a problem even if it is good.to be aware of how Norwegian differs from Swedish. I mean, you don't want to sound like Jon Skolmen in Sällskapsresan. That is not Norwegian. We must...

    But if you are bad at something you must be extremely good at something else..well, that's just wishful thinking.

    Norge där alla säger koseligt osv. Nej, men det är vad många skämtar om. Jag kan höra Modern i tv-serien Fleksnes fatakiteter använda ordet men å andra sidan var det en komediserie. Anyway, we really do overthink a lot.

    My gift is probably analysing how people communicate. But I have issues with doing it.myself. I am good at dramaturgy, I think. Is this my gift? Perhaps
