Generic Art Dad - Do Autistic People Think In Black & White?

I thought this was more common in neurotypical people. Like neurotypical people are a lot more likely to assign other people into categories than neurodivergent people. Maybe it's just the kind of people I surround myself with, or maybe I'm just projecting my own distaste for categorizing people's identities onto others, but I haven't seen my friends participating in any black-or-white thinking.
You just assigned people into categories while purporting distaste for doing so.
Sorry. I am sometimes bad at trying to communicate my thoughts. When I was talking about categorization, I meant trying to fully define a person based on minimal interaction. I have known my friends for several years, so I like to think I can understand them, and I even put in a disclaimer saying I might be projecting my own thoughts onto them. I'm sorry if I offended you, but I'm not sure how I did.
I absolutely freakin' do and I am always trying my DAMNDEST not to. But jesus christ, you cross me and fuck you. May your whole family burn! But really, I don't care. It's five minutes later. Who gives a fuck? But I wish in my heart of hearts that I could be more open to the shades of gray, and have tried. But nothing gets me hornier than an impassioned conversation. And by horny I mean happy, not that I wanna fuck someone's face. BUT SEE! Even that. Extreme, extreme, extreme.
I feel this in my soul.
<3!
I think this is a way to phrase "rigid thinking" but I don't feel that I relate to the phrase. I'd say I'm more of a my way or the highway thinker. Also genericartdad is fantastic.
Is this a common stereotype? I honestly have no clue. I've never run into it myself, but that doesn't really say much about how common it is
It is almost the exact conversation I (autistic) have had with all of my non-autistic partners.
