// I overgeneralize everything so I think ok if X person reacts this way, everyone will. Example: my dad is like a lawyer in that he doubts everything & will ask a bunch of questions any time you tell him something, so I feel that I have to give ALL THE DETAILS & give complete & thorough beyond a doubt justification for why I think something when I talk to anyone bc I think everyone is like my dad though logically I know they’re not. Is this an autism thing?

// Followup to previous question: can learning to do something one way, then being unable to do it another way, be an autism thing? In math in high school I had this problem A Lot, where I’d learn to work a problem one way but if I had to do it another way I’d get stuck because I couldn’t grasp that there are multiple ways of doing something. I feel like I do this with other situations too I just can’t recall specifics right now.

Autistic people frequently view things in black-and-white terms which can lead to overgeneralizations. Autistic difficulties with intuitively picking up on social expectations or reading people could exacerbate this (not being able to correct an overgeneralization by taking social information into account).

As for having trouble adjusting to a new way of doing something, this could be linked to autistic difficulties with change and adherence to routine.

What is the Logical Fallacy for an Over-Generalizing Statement...?

What is the Logical Fallacy for an Over-Generalizing Statement…?

… for something like "oh why should I bother voting; all politicians are scumbags anyway".

My formal language skills are a but rusty, but I know there's at least one identifiable logical fallacy in there.

The assumption that all of them are equally bad of nonsense, and (in theory) being a politician doesn't mean one has to be evil.

How would I express that in the form of logical fallacies?

Genetic fallacy? Slippery slope?

Yes, two birds that have wings can most definitely be both ducks. But that doesn't mean it can't be an eagle, or a hawk, or a penguin, or a pigeon, or a dove, or a swan, or any other bird with wings out there. And just because it doesn't have wings doesn't mean it's not a duck. Simple.
