I'm still not sure what your point is.
Mild autism (what we're talking about here), in many ways, is (to use a tech analogy) like missing SSL offloading when everyone else has it.
You can still talk SSL, by manually doing it on the CPU, but it bogs down the CPU with crypto and becomes overwhelming if you're trying to do other things at the same time.
You're also not going to be as efficient at SSL, which means you can get overwhelmed by just trying to manage SSL if there's many connections at once.
Recognizing that difference -- that there is a difference in how you're processing those things -- is the first step to doing it better.
Autistic people are literally wired differently: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4688328/
(Also, note that the paper uses the phrase "typically developing" to denote non-Autistic people.)
- kingkawn 9y agoAgain I believe that it is the concept of not achieving typicality that is the driving force of continuously deepening the autistic's state of alienation, even when typicality itself is an abstract "average" state that no person actually embodies. edit: Just wanted to add, I'm not saying that autistics are not clearly at the avant-garde edges of personality, I am just suggesting that the source of the difference is created by the autistic's self-understanding.
