- noduerme 4y agoI think it's an important detail because it shows the writer realizes the autistic "jerk" actually IS smarter, and they're just mad about it.
- skeeter2020 4y agoBoth viewpoints are extreme yet have some basis in reality. I've worked with numerous people on the spectrum and my take is the energies and effort missing in social interactions keeps them better focused on concrete execution. They are not jerks but often loosely anticipated as such, at least until you put in significant effort to understand their interactions. This is typically one-sided and I think that is unfair.
