I didn't say automatically. I said it's true for some of us. I fully acknowledge that some people with autism get absolutely shafted in terms of the cluster of personality traits and ND symptoms they develop. I'm just saying that the benefits of autism, such as they are, cannot be achieved by an NT brain. Whether or not that is "worth the cost" isn't for me to say. It depends greatly on rolls of the biological dice.
Yeah they can. I don't know how the likeliness compares, but it's well within the realm of possibility.
Yes, any by trying to reply in the negative to everyone supporting the mai post, YOU are still directly attempting to contradict the sentiment while not admitting to it.
Stop it. Stop trying to reinforce stereotypes to protect your own feelings. It's pitiful. Yes, responding in a, "but it's kinda tru tho" way IS defending the stereotype.
You seem really angry about a pretty innocuous conversation on the internet. All I was saying is that there's a bit more nuance here than was being suggested. I'm not saying either side of the argument is entirely wrong. Just sharing my personal experience.
No, I'm getting angry at you literally and completely failing to understand the entire point made by the post.
That's sad, bro
Yes, it is sad that people need to feel extra special to the point where they hold on to detrimental stereotypes.
No, no, that's not what I was talking about
