Focusing on the logic of meaningful perception, the book explores how social inferencing shapes our understanding of daily interactions. The author analyzes the balance of inductive and deductive reasoning in both typical and autistic perceptions, revealing that autistic individuals often rely more heavily on deductive logic. This framework addresses core autism behaviors and introduces the notion of "slight autism," where a person may exhibit high intelligence with strong deductive skills yet struggle in social communication.
