Probably more quiet. Autism is (as I see it and in my own experience) about overstimulation. Not being autistic would probably feel like things weren't as "loud" or attention grabby.

    Less perpetual anxiety and I imagine a slower racing brain. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing life on an emulator with fast forward constantly on. Also existing outside your brain without this layer of abstraction. I feel so aware of constituent parts of reality and seeing things as a whole.

    Less deeply effected by injustice or a lack of logic. Fewer instances of upsetting people by naturally adhering to more socially accepted ways of presenting thoughts and communicating.

    Easier, less exhausting. Though I know neurotypicals have their own struggles.

    I've noticed that most people don't hear the things I do

    I'll make a comment about something I hear in the background and they will get confused. Did they not overhear that conversation or noise?
