Are you seeing what I see?

Pre ramble on something that made a big impact on me .

When trying to access what's normal ,I'm very guarded on this because...

As a kid I thought I had the same eye sight as everyone else.
I had no other view point than my own.
As far as I was concerned the world saw the way I did .

It wasn't till I was picked out and glasses clamped on to me as a correction that I knewas any other way of seeing , later in life I sat in an opticians waiting room looking at eye charts
That showed different examples of vision fault... eg this chart the lines going sideways will look thicker....I thought that's a stupid chart ,the lines are thicker.
Again I had no idea I was out of whack .

This comes to aspie traits . When you see an example of how an aspie type sees the world
I'm left thinking that's pretty dumb that's how everyone is .

There is no way at all to judge these things .

Unless I had an example of another mind set how could I.

Basically what you think you think of as your ' isolated normal'
could be way out and you would never know it.
 
I think if I hadn't had laser surgery I would be blind now,so when I wasn't at the level of blindness I couldn't see any shape whatso ever.
Just the colours and some light
