Let me sum up the concept for you. People who are on the spectrum see the entire world around them as alive. Many often feel a connection to much of their environment. Now as to how the paper see's that ether a positive or a negative I couldn't say because I certainly don't care.

That generalization is not necessarily true, from personal experience, I for sure don't think of everything as "alive".

You can feel about it however you want but I see it the way I see it. My son who also has the tisms see's it much the same way I do. We are all different and I know people who don't have that connection at all who are also autistic. If you don't have that feeling you wont get it.

I think I used to have that feeling when I was a child, but not anymore lol.

I don't have it as much as I used to but I can be in a place and feel a deep connection to things. Objects I've had for a long time that get broken will cause me grief. More so for people and pets but there is always that feeling with things in my environment. I would say it all in my head buy several times in my life wild animals have just came up to me like I was familiar to them. Crows especially will interact with me from time to time. Rarely do I encounter a dog or cat that doesn't immediately like me.

The world of matter is an illusion created by the mind. The true reality of the world is a network of conscious agents. Everything really is alive.
