On a different online community, I read a posting along the lines of "When you're on the spectrum, you tend to accomplish greatness if nurtured properly. If you're not nurtured properly, however, you really tend to struggle."

Any truth to the statement?

Yeah its true. I live in a city with lots of annoying noises and interruptions. If people actually gave spergs good living situations most of them would be millionaires already. Instead what they get are annoying situations and people.

The statement is too ambiguous in that it doesn't define "greatness" or "nurtured properly"

But the outcome depends on nature versus nurture

That is the same for neurotypicals and autistic. However, all things equal, which they are not, autistics tend to require more nurture than neurotypicals
