Do other aspies in here, find they have a wealth of knowledge on a particular subject. A person asks you a question, you answer them with facts you know to be accurate and true. Yet they "argue" or you are made to feel "wrong" on the subject, even though the other person has no to little knowledge on the subject? Do you find yourself just "hiding" your knowledge, and acting "ignorant" or just saying "i dont know"? It feels like people dont actually want the knowledge or to learn. So why ask? It becomes very depressing over the years. Anyone else experience this?
The short answer,...NO. I don't hide my knowledge.
The long answer is that I have viewed enough videos of psychologists basically saying, "If you are dealing with an autistic and question them on facts regarding their special interests,...they will most likely be correct." In my anecdotal experience, that would be an accurate statement. That said, most people, when dealing with a stranger wouldn't be able to recognize someone of the Asperger's-type of autism,...and even if they were told, still wouldn't understand what that meant,...nor what it means when they are receiving factual information from one of us.
Keep in mind, there are "personal truths" and "objective truths". Personal truths are based upon all that input that compiles "life experience". Objective truths are what may be in the realm of scientific reality or mathematics,...things that are repeatable under experimentation or data collection. For example, my personal truth is that most people go about their life and daily decision making based upon their personal truths,...and less upon objective truths. I could go further and suggest that many, because they do not fully understand the scientific process, are somewhat distrustful science. For example,..."High cholesterol increases your risk of heart disease",....later,..."No, high LDL cholesterol increases your risk of heart disease",....later,..."No, high levels of small particle LDL increases your risk of heart disease". As we gain more information, your doctor may change his/her recommendations, testing, and treatments. I would say that is what is supposed to happen,...yet, others may say, "Why should I trust my doctor,...what he says today will change tomorrow."
So,...back to your comment,...I would totally expect most people you deal with to be somewhat disinterested or even disagreeable with "factual information" on a topic, especially if it appears to conflict with their "personal truths". If coming from someone like myself,...a person who routinely takes "deep dives" into topics,...it is simply overwhelming for most people. Most people just want a one or two sentence answer so that they can banter, back and forth, in conversation or argument,...but I will give them a novel and not allow them to get in a word, which really puts people off. When my wife and I have friends or relatives over to the house,...my wife is one to either tap me on the shoulder or knee, or she will simply interrupt my monologuing. I have learned to recognize the signs and symptoms of someone who's eyes have glazed over from too much information, perhaps disinterest, or simply just wants to get away from me.
