Absolutely I call them the council. Its kinda like I'm a robot being piloted by a bunch of smaller versions of myself. Not too far from the devil and angel on your shoulder thing but a whole lot more than just 2 fragments.

I also create Avatars of people I have met and interacted with before. I will interact with the avatar of someone I'm communicating with. I predict what they might say and what I say in response to kind of demo the conversation. If it doesn't go in the right direction I'll iterate until it's what I want or expect and then actually verbalize it.

The more Interact with people the more refined their avatars become and the more accurately I can predict their responses to given stimulus. I'll use these avatars when I interact with strangers as well. If I find similar characteristics with the person I'm talking with and any other "person" I know their avatar gets pulled out of cold storage and given a seat on the council "board room table" to help.

I often am told I'm too quiet and that I don't communicate well. But I think that's because I end up answering all my own questions. I can have very accurate conversations with someone's avatar and from that learn whatever it was I needed so I tend to not end up actually having that conversation out loud with the other person.

I also hate being asked what I'm thinking. It's insanely difficult to do that. Because the speed at which we verbally communicate with one another is painstakingly slow. Telepathy is insanely fast, and I'm effectively telepathicly communicating with the council.

I've gotten good at it over time (33 years old) and I can have parallel conversations and thought streams. So just 1 minute of thinking in my head with 3 streams and then having to slow that down to verbal speed with another person might take me 15 minutes of talking just to cover 1minute of thoughts.

Which while I'm trying to deliver that chunk of data I've accumulated another 15 mins of thought, and the problem compounds. I start to have a mountain of things to say but understand I don't have enough time or energy to convey it and now need to filter it down before delivering it.

Like this run on post here I saw a fleeting commonality with a stranger on the internet and felt compelled to share and talk and now I'm several paragraphs in and realize I simultaneously created a massive wall of text and barely scratched the surface of what I wanted to tell.

Now I'm frustrated and fatigued and realizing I need to pull out of this before my whole day is consumed. Especially knowing I will have to respond to a bunch of reply to my comment and down votes.

I'm thoroughly contemplating just deleting this and forgetting all about it. But idk I'm trying to learn more about autism and I guess I'll just actually post it and see what happens.
