Has the cultural divide cut so deep as between NEUROTYPICALS and we AUTISTS?
Discover your specific interests and your inner autist. Glory in your IQ superior to the barely surviving NT!
There is a huuge academic genre on ASD and it value.
And entertainment. Professor T (Teerlinck, NOT NT Tempest woke BBC). French Astrid (unfortunately a bit woke with honeggars bossing).
I have heard the postulate that autism is a evolutionary response to the complexity of society. A category of people that may have been a liability in agrarian hunter/gatherer type societies, but drop them in front of a complex console running a power station, or a train network, or a manufacturing process, or software development.. and they are a star.
Which seems crazy since in evolutionary time-frames, complex societies are so brand-new that they still have the shrinkwrap and new-car smell on them. Nonetheless, it seems that they are genuine and valuable assets.
Yep I remember Temple Grandin saying something to that effect that humanity would still be in caves talking about rubbish if we hadn’t had autistic people to innovate
Those enormous gothic cathedrals built pre-industrial revolution over multiple centuries, with just pulleys, wooden scaffold and earth embankments and ladders? You gotta think the architects and visionaries behind those constructions were utterly unparalleled geniuses in their niche field.
And of course.. lets not forget those talented folks running counter-insurgency operations!
We love our autists!
Indeed - we have the best autists
A postulate noun is an axiom. You mean hypothesis.
That would work, supposition as well.
autism I believe is a poisoning by roundup, (the chemical Glyphosate) or by another name agent orange.
