@actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe …and btw, I’m not saying some #actuallyautistic have a savant ability (the lack of selective filters doesn’t automatically come with the processing power to handle extra data). No more than I’m saying, the selective view of NTs is a disability. It’s about suitability for context. But perhaps the evolutionary value of autistic traits is that they allow the species a get-out clause when it reaches a place where its filters are counterproductive @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe
