Abstract
This paper suggests that autistic people relate to themselves via a third‐person perspective, an objective and explicit mode of access, while neurotypical people tend to access the different dimensions of their self through a first‐person perspective. This approach sheds light on autistic traits involving interactions with others, usage of narratives, sensitivity and interoception, and emotional consciousness. Autistic people seem to access these dimensions through comparatively indirect and effortful processes, while neurotypical development enables a more intuitive sense of self.
