Why Logical Developments?
Autism has long been a puzzle to both neuro-typical (NT- people without autism) and to people on the autism spectrum. Autism perception is different to NT perception, although each is equally meaningful. I am dedicated to helping typical people respect and deepen their empathetic understanding of this different perception. Similarly I endeavour to clarify, expand, and support people on the spectrum in their efforts to develop understanding of NT perception. Logical Developments Ltd is about creating shared perceptions:
"I would definitely consider myself in the logical camp. I show very little emotion and I honestly don't know how much emotion I feel, I just think of what would be the best way to do something instead of some internalized value." quote by 'Silentchaos', post 248,

The journey of exploring and sharing the perceptions of others helps us discover more about our own perceptions:
"It seems to me like many people automatically understand things based on a shared logical framework that I have never had. It is the framework of human interaction and includes a set of common beliefs that seem illogical to a person who is not operating within this framework. I'm not sure if other people have to work so hard to make sense of these things or if making sense of them is even so important to other people." quote from Lori Berkowitz,
