Quotes by Ian Ford  (?)

“It is important to understand about NT small talk that it is NOT just wasting time, or “about nothing.” If you have tried to mimic it unsuccessfully, it could be that you were actually talking about nothing, and doing nothing else; they would have found you to be dull in that case. Small talk is active discovery.”
Ian Ford, A Field Guide to Earthlings: An Autistic/Asperger View of Neurotypical Behavior

“How can NTs be so powerful? There are two reasons they can do this: One is that their desensitization allows them to balance their attention without being distracted by any one overwhelming stimulus. Second, they reduce the size of the incoming data through symbolic filtering, so they only process the symbols, not the whole. Like the cockpit who is checking the airspeed dial (not actually feeling the air), they only bring in the minute essentials.”
Ian Ford, A Field Guide to Earthlings: An Autistic/Asperger View of Neurotypical Behavior

“Angel, I know it was just a mistake, but you know you shouldn’t have asked for the boy’s ferret.”
Ian Ford, A Field Guide to Earthlings: An Autistic/Asperger View of Neurotypical Behavior
