    Sometimes I wonder if my “advanced” meditation skills from a decade of training is just what neurotypicals always experience when they meditate, even with just like 10 times of “practice”.

      That’s interesting take on this. I never thought about meditation in this context. If I am able to meditate anytime it ends up being a list making session in my head

        What I do then is to observe myself making the list, or to observe the thoughts involved in making the list as they swim past me.

        This could lead to an infinite chain, where I then observe myself observing and so on. But with practice and methods beyond normal thought and expression, that can fade into nothingness.
