I'm super intrigued by how the mind works and how we're wired, and how we determine things.
Bias is an interesting thing, and I didn't realize there were so many different things engrained and learned by us that are almost completely unconscious or subconscious.
Bias-
1 a particular tendency, trend, inclination, feeling, or opinion, especially one that is preconceived or unreasoned.
2 unreasonably hostile feelings or opinions about a social group; prejudice
types of biases
*Cognitive bias-
or the tendency to think in certain ways that lead to systematic deviations from a standard rationality or good judgment 
*Media bias-
Journalism is tied to a set of ethical standards and values, including truth and accuracy, fairness and impartiality, and accountability. However, journalism today often strays from objective fact; the result is biased news. Bias isn't necessarily a bad thing, but hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us.
*Affinity bias-
Preference for certain types of people for whom they have an affinity , such as a respondents who are similar to them or that they find attractive, and including them in the sample at higher rates than others.https://dorothydalton.com/2017/03/13/affinity-bias-and-the-recruitment-process/
So this bias comes from what our minds think of good or positive or attractive personally to us.

finding out that autistics generally don't conform to a bias because of underdeveloped social connection. we tend to be rule followers and have solid core values. tending to be "stuck" in our beliefs or our core tendencies makes us a lot less likely to conform to a certain bias. because we are empathetic, as well, we tend to see a lot of different sides, so we understand most perspectives as well. we don't have a bias blind spot, we just don't generally fit in a certain bias group.
