I’ve noticed there seems to be a divide between deep thinking and wide thinking.

Deep thinking tends to be directed and has a tight focus. It covers a lot of intellectual thinking.

Wide thinking is a lot more integrated, it’s how we instinctively know how a particular action will affect others, both directly and indirectly. It integrates a lot of topics, but at a far shallower level.

As an aspie, I’m good at deep thinking. I struggle with wide thinking. I suspect I am fairly blind to a lot of wide thinking effects. Whether their more intuitive thinking is better or worse than my logical deep thinking is a different matter.
