Again 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.
