Interesting, but I think it has gone the other direction. It seems to me that the autism diagnosis has been unilaterally bad for rational people, and something like a green light for exploitation by emotional people. I hear people calling others autistic all the time to diminish their rational points in an argument.
- watwut 5y agoAutistic people are not more "rational" in the sense of having better arguments.
- jl2718 5y agoThat wasn’t my implication. I was saying that the term is being abused rather than just over-used as in celiac. I don’t claim to know what ‘autistic’ is, and I’ve never heard a clear definition.
