    An engineer's mind?

    No, it doesn't have to be linear! You are saying that when you break down a task you only have one option: follow a step-by-step process! I am too messy in order to follow a step-by-step process. Many teachers would be happy if everything was that way, ie everyone could follow a step-by-step...

    So scientist never experiment? I am not a scientists so I don't know. You are saying that a lot of skills are learned in a linnear way. You wish to simplify the learning process. I know too many teachers who say that you learn by following a series of exercises. Well, I rather refrain from...

    An engineer's mind?

    Do we perhaps have different definitions of "intellectual"? I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. When we say "break dowm" we must define what we refer to. Breaking down tasks can be intellectual in that you try to say exactly as it is and that you try to figure out what is going...

    And that is not how I learn to play the piano! Breaking down is not always linnear for me.

    That's the way you see it but it is not how I see it! It is intellectual for me no matter what you say!

    An engineer's mind?

    And that's how many people learn. Thay's what I'm saying. I often break down tasks into smaller tasks. This is something intellectual. Just because something is intellectual it doesn't have to be theoretical. It's more about feeling and thinking about eg piano technique. I don't know people who...

    An engineer's mind?

    You are saying that I am saying things that I am not saying. I say that for many people piano is something intellectual. Those with what has been refered to as "mental retardation" in the past may use different abilities when learning to play the piano. I use a lot of breaking down of skills...

    An engineer's mind?

    Micro and macro? What does this have to do with playing the piano?? I am confused? Are you a person who only see the bigger picture rather than details? Isn't that what NTs do? You are saying that music require the full/whole brain so you need to be good at many skillsin order to play the piano...

    An engineer's mind?

    instruction set? Can we say that music is logical and a lot about the engineer's mind? For me personally, learning to play the piano and getting better at it requires a lot of problem solving. You can say that a musician needs to think about aesthetics but in order to be good at eg piano one...

    Logic - Wikipedia People sometimes speak about "being logical" be I never really hear them explain what system of logic they are talking about

    An engineer's mind?

    Many people have said that piano lessons are very good for us. In my experience many teachers refrain from going into the details of eg technique. I guess most teachers, especially music teachers, make me frustrated with their un-pedagogic lessons. Most teachers may even make many of us quit...

    An engineer's mind?

    what kind of logic? I learn slower than most people, I think. But I sometimes become much better at things than they. I can't say that I easily grasp complex stuff. What does that even refer to?

    What do you mean?

    An engineer's mind?

    I have been told by a professional, ie a person who works with people who have eg ASD and ADHD problems, that I work with music and acting like many autistic computer programmer work with programming. He says that he sees a resemblance. He did not say that I work with music and acting like...
