Autism: The Pathologization of Logic

She makes a lot of sense.

Brilliant,, I hope she runs for President of the World . Pretty much hit the nail on the head for all Aspie/ Asperger types.
. But as always this is just my own opinion. Smoother flow of societal Interaction does not give progress for all humanity . Just those whom seem to want control it seems . Very astute observation ..
Took me years to sort differences in language . And was victimized for it ,over and over . In a slightly different format and concept . I tried to explain what I understood at 6 yrs old . Simply put , " everything is beautiful" long before I ever heard the song . And tried and tried to rationalize this with my elders . because I could see them as humouring me at that age. So I qualified it to them, as everything is beautiful compared only to itself. ( or was there a hidden frame of reference I was missing ?) Because in literal translation. No comparison was requested. So if not having a comparitor? .
Any one item referenced. Only allows evaluation of that same one item.( nothing else) unless you add the qualifier
" As compared to ? " So even a individual who might have a severe case of Elephantiosis . Without a caparitor , is beautiful and perfect as a single entity that functions. Sorry to be long . or complex .( It is what it is )

Yeah, that was a very good video and I think she'll go far if she wants to.

i'm partially domesticated.

I disagree with her premise. I don't think autistic people are inherently more "logical" than anybody else, and I don't think taking things literally is a sign of a particularly "logical" mind, in fact it usually indicates the opposite. A logical person understands that words mean different things in different contexts, that's just how language works.

I don't need external validation.
