Check out Frankie MacDonald, he's an autistic savant meteorologist. Not saying that in any disrespectful way, I know some people get a bit butthurt when using those words.
I don't know if he's commented on it yet, but if he has, >99% chance he's correct.

- s5300 5y agoHow is it incongruent to make it known I wish I could celebrate somebody's unparalleled excellence with a simple colloquial term? Like, HN is a place that circlejerks nonstop about 10x/100xers, and you want to give me grief for this? He is an openly & proud autistic human, though with some of the difficulties he has regarding some things many think of as "normalcy" in our modern day life that are inherent to the autism disorder, he operates with what at least appears to be the skill of the 99th percentile of meteorologists. By definition, he's a savant. To make the presumption that I'm being disrespectful by using the term is asinine. He wouldn't have been the first person to immediately pop into my head regarding the parent comment if I didn't think so highly of him.
- t0mbstone 5y agoIf someone ACTUALLY is a savant with Asperger's or autism, is it disrespectful to point that fact out when you are gauging the importance of their predictions?
- JKCalhoun 5y agoOP using the term "butthurt" shows a certain dismissiveness, no?
