To say that someone doesn't experience the same mental states as you is
very difficult to prove in normal people let alone autistics(full
autistics lacking any real communication). The best that can be done is
showing activity in a similar part of the brain. Which would work if the
brains were identical. ie trying to show that the brains of autistics
and NT's are different if they were the same....

Having spent quite some time looking into thought/"the mind" the whole
subject is very dubious. What Feynman would called a "cargo cult"

Personally i "daydream" probably more than most but i have no idea if
it's the same kind of daydreaming.
