Do you know what autism is?

Evidently not.

a quote from gulenko on Ni

"Many especially talented theoreticians involved in abstract sciences (mathematicians, computer programmers) have strong accentuation that leads to autism-like traits, deep sinking into their mental imagery to the point of ignoring of external reality."

he gives Grigori Perelman as example. from my own observation, many INxx types get diagnosed with autism or asperger, more than any other type. I think we had this discussion already though.

To put it in empirical context: a person who can not properly establish him/herself volitionally while adjusting to social cues. Meet your run of the mill gamma NT's. I think alpha NT's are closer to cluster A PD's.

Posting because this is an extremely high-quality astute observation and summary and it needs to be framed for posterity and deserves more likes.

That's an archaic and smarmy use of "autism," not ASD. Ni would be more like psychosis, which is usually considered related in being cut off from the outside world but also the polar opposite of ASD in many ways.

I would correlate Ni with psychosis more as well based on what I know about Ni, but the prospect of it being related to ASD is interesting

[thegreenfaerie]

I refuse being typed IEI then!!

No, honestly though, I was thinking someone I knew with autism was IEI actually I didn't really correlate it to the type just... that happens to be his likely typing. I've always been curious when into MBTI how a lot of people with autism would type, particularly on the S/N front. Interesting topic... I actually knew a self-proclaimed SEI with autism too. I'm not sure if he typed himself correctly though.

It is true autism is pertaining to Ni, don't know what the other people were giving you hard time about, other than maybe the shutting off from reality part, which that is more a schizoid tactic. They mirror autism, but it is different, they do not have developmental delay or theory of mind challenge, but will be socially awkward as result of withdrawing and lesser having chance to engage socially and up-keep in that skill.

Gulenko and Jung both said Ni is related to autism. I am a diagnosed autistic who is IEI, and most every other diagnosed autistic I know, is an ILI. I know one SEI diagnosed pwASD.

I'm sorry was autism even a concept in Jung's era?

I would also find it rich that gulenko would call Ni, autism. Just goes to show some socionists cannot properly conceptualize Ni at all.

Gulenko directly stated it, Jung must have defined characteristics that eventually penned of autism.

TBH the rape is sexy thing is more of a meme for me. I don't really mean that. I just like the idea of being forced to submit, which isn't the same thing

There needs to be a better name for it. “Consensual rape” is an oxymoron.

I think "Forced Submission" could be a good word for it.

But I don't do the labels and stuff, I leave that for deltas to figure out.

Yeah, I don't know what to call it though. I also don't really like being super explicit about "enthusiastic verbal consent" either... Kinda kills the mood for me. I want a person I love to just understand by my tone of voice and coyness that I want them to dominate me and then let me pretend I don't want it and vice versa. Actual rape definitely isn't hot to me, but predator/prey dynamics in love are super hot and loads of fun. It's honestly strange to me that some people wouldn't want to chase each other around the house, tackle their significant other to the floor, then fuck their brains out lol

I think it's called "ravishing", animals do that all the time but when humans do it, it's considered semi-rape
