I think it’s a case of deep Vs wide thinking. Aspies are a lot better at deep thinking than wide. It’s great for things like science or engineering, it’s a problem however for socialising.
The side point is, however, that deep thinking is often more intellectually driven, while wide is more semi-conscious (still a poor word but the best I can come up with). It’s also hard to remap from one to the other. It’s the reason aspies struggle to follow social implications, and NTs struggle to follow informational deep dives.
