One thing that annoys me about my fellow pro-science people is how dismissive they can be if something doesn't fit with their world view. Like I've pointed out how #folklore - specifically folklore about #fairies & #changelings can prove #Autism has always existed because the description of the behavior of a changeling child fits that of someone who's #actuallyautistic and got belittled & made fun of because "folklore isn't important" & "just stupid superstition."
@JamiJR Well well, good to see this post today, several years before my friend @juergen_hubert is also discussing #Changelings as stories of #Autistic children! Perhaps you know each other?

No, but it's not the first time I've encountered this conversation. I have a friend on TikTok who's a Celtic folklorist, they own books LONG out of print, & they've brought it up many times.
