As long as I have been here very successful people saying they are autistic are doubted in part because “something would have been picked up”. Here on WP younger members often implied older members are not autistic for that reason. That was very much resented. How Bill Gates knew he was different B...

NT Hollywood & media is only interested in superpowers, a kind of myth born out of hyper focus but doesnt necessarily translate into a "superpower" Take the "superpower" away and they soon get bored. Its strange as autism is so common now, nearly every NT knows someone dealin...

He never said he was autistic He just made a casual assumption that he may have been diagnosed if born today Maybe he would maybe he wouldn’t Not much different from the “we’re all a little autistic” you’ll often hear.
