OK OK OK OK I know most people here dont believe in god or any form of religion, but work with me here (or use some imagination)
OK, as a person with a "soul", do we have an autistic soul, or are we just regular souls but in a body in a autistic brain?
Or if we were to be reincarnated, would we be autistic over and over again, or would be live the life of an NT at some point?
I just want to hear what you guys think.

I don't like to be criticized for my opinion, but that's what I believe.
I reckon that would be the case also, merely the body is Autistic/Aspergic.
flame me all ya want non-believers, as if I give a shit.

Non-believer and think the definition of "soul" is a bit difficult. Does having a soul mean that you are living? Humans have said that other people have no souls to justify their actions so I guess having a soul is to have value or something. Maybe someone would consider "autistic souls" as more valuable than other souls, not right, either wrong.
I am interested in other definitions of "soul".

Strange to think about. Part of me cannot imagine being NT, but when I consider...
If I were to be reincarnated as a cat, I imagine that I would think like a cat. If I were to be reincarnated as a cricket, I imagine that I would think like a cricket. If I were to be reincarnated as a boy, I imagine that I would think like a boy.
Ditto if I were to be reincarnated as an NT.
But not all beliefs include reincarnation, could the definition of soul be different then?
"The "correct" belief is not always the best to carry". That's my view of religion vs. science. To believe in a religion have some psychological benefit.
I am not saying that I am a believer, I just see reason to not spoil other's beliefs.
My idea of a soul is like...er..ner... like if we didnt have a soul then our body would lay in a useless heap, it would be alive, just mearly vegtable like. Our soul is everthing conscience, our thoughts and decisions.
Let's pretend for a moment that it is a FACT that IF I believe the moon is made of cheese, THEN I will become extremely rich. However, there is no logical evidence that tells me it could be true- just plenty of evidence to the contrary. As much as I might WANT to believe the moon is made of cheese, because I know I would be rich if I did, I simply cannot convince myself of it.
Aah... But if you can convince others that the moon is made of cheese, and they won't get any toastie cheese sandwiches unless they make you extremely rich. THEN you can become extremely rich.
Discussing the specifics of heaven and after-life is a bit like debating "What color was Napoleon's car?"
I reckon it was green.
What was the color of Napoleon's white horse?
It's atypical for an Aspergic to think that a "soul" exists, as we are all supposed to be clinical scientific types who only believe in the physical universe.
All supposed to be? That is what the stereotypes would have you believe, I suppose, but such a stereotype leaves no room for divergence or diversity. Like subscribing to the idea that all aspies are emotionless, imagination deprived robots. Or do we want others to think that we are not capable of a variety of religious / spiritual beliefs?
(My NT mother is far more skeptical than me when it comes to the physical universe. I always hold to the notion -- which is no less logical than any other -- that whatever has not been disproven remains possible. I will not be the one to insist on that which has not been proven, nor to deny the belief in what remains unknown.)
I remember a guy from middle-east something who posted at this forum, he thought it was typical for aspies to be fanatically religious.
