TOPIC: VIDEO CONFERENCE: Love versus Logic

WHEN: Thursday, September 10th at 2 pm Pacific Time

Register: here.

No wonder it’s such a jumble with our “Aspies” when we try to have a simple conversation. NTs usually assess everything first from an empathic perspective, which requires tuning into your feelings and the feelings of the other. For example, love doesn’t lack logic but we start with love to prepare the space for our conversation. Logic comes second, but not so with “Aspies.”

There often is no second tier for ASD loved ones; it’s logic all of the way. It’s not that your “Aspie” has no emotions. It’s that they don’t use them to assess the interaction. Logic is easier and simpler.

On the other hand, they miss the nuances that logic does not assess. If you want to understand your “Aspie,” listen to the logic and stop searching for the nuance. You might even disregard the nuance entirely since your ASD loved one may inadvertently use the wrong tone or gesture, which only confuses the communication. And certainly don’t expect them to integrate your nuances into the meaning of your logic. It’s not as complicated as it sounds. I’ll help guide you through it.

The instructions for the Zoom call will be emailed to participants during the morning of the event. The fee is $18.95. Please check your Meetup settings to make sure you are able to receive emails.
