Gonna sound like a jerk here, but I feel like the idea that autistic people ‘overthink’ things is the wrong war around. No, neurotypical folks don’t think about things enough. Half the issues society suffers from come because the natural human mindset seems to be “YOLO let’s make this massive change to how things work without thinking about the consequences or details whatsoever!”
