I feel like without autistic people gathering and preserving detailed knowledge about extremely niche topics, historical records would only consist of a few important bullet points and we wouldn't even know what our technology was like just 20 years earlier
@njion There is no way the official definition of autism is correct. I know actual medical autism is a real disease but most alleged austistic cases seem to just be of low social dominance, that's not having the latest iPhone and knowing the basics of linear algebra. In European countries it's popular to help only the strong (Kings and Princes) and never the weak. That's why most Europeans hate the US and even the Soviet Union.
