It can be stated that Kafka’s autistic mind is not susceptible to delusional concepts which might be presented as religious dogma by society or experienced by the self. For the neurotypical mind these concepts and experiences of existential doubt are harder to shake off since it appears that the neurotypical configuration of the self is an internal cognitive mechanism without an adequate externalreality check. In contrast this externalreality checkappears to be present in the high-functioning autistic mind. It is thought that the autistic mind is more intimately connected with objective reality via its external sensory focus on reality and its superior understanding of physical causality, relative to neurotypical persons (Baron-Cohen et al. 1999; Paganini and Gaido 2013) and is therefore less susceptible to supernatural experiences or explanations.; (idiomatic)Awake-up call; areminder.That kid needs areality checkbefore he fails or drops out.2023March 5, Phil McNulty, “Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United”, inBBC Sport‎[1]:United's renaissance under managerErik ten Hagalready has the tangible reward of theCarabao Cupbut Liverpool unleashed a brutalreality checkon their progress with a severe thrashing.

Note: the examples for non latin scripts have a high likelihood of mistakes, we do not own any of this data and it is sourced from Wiktionary, the NLLB database and Opensubtitles. Please help us improve this by contributing correct examples. We will be working to fix this issue over time however it is a bigger issue due to the the difficulties in dealing with non latin scripts and grammatical structures(non-romantic/european languages have lower resources as well ).
