If you haven’t looked into this you really should. Autism Speaks is very much a harm in the world.

    I actually was thinking about that the other day. They have done studies and it turns out that Autistic people communicate well with Autistic people. It is entirely possible to have a entire civilization based around autism.

      There was a volunteer at an old job I had, autistic and older generation, so he had lived in his mums care all his life. My colleagues couldnt wait to get away from him, but he really made the job way more enjoyable for me

      Autistic people are shepherds of society (looking at the bigger picture, questioning everything, always solving problems), the rest are sheep (accepting status quo). I’ve seen many teams where most people are just ‘doing their jobs, can’t wait to go home’ but the team is held together by one autistic individual in the middle who really runs the whole operation.
