    Some old autistic people unfortunately masked by developing an obsession with hypernormalcy.

      Some people are broken. They’re the narcissists and psychopaths and people who refuse to address their trauma(having trauma is fine, doing nothing about it and making it everyone else’s problem is less so) who we keep handing power to for some fucking reason.

    I think this is a good reminder that traits we label one way today could have been real strengths in different contexts. Deep focus and strong memory would’ve been incredibly valuable skills in many ancient communities. It’s all about perspective.

    My brain skipped over “herder” the first time and I was very very confused.

      Well, if autism exists in animals (pretty sure i’ve heard that it does) i bet there are savants especially talented at communicating with humans.
