    Humans are social creatures.

    Are we really? It seems to me like even neurotypical people tend to self-isolate in rich societies if they’re prosperous enough to get away with it.

    The important part is to increase awareness that Autism is a disability and to ask for tolerance.

    First, I don’t feel disabled. The world just wasn’t made for people who think like I do any more than it was made for left-handed people (of whom I’m one). But maybe I just didn’t get hit that hard with the autism stick, so with a bit of effort I can fake being neurotypical long enough to hold down an office job.

    Second, aren’t you sick of asking for tolerance? I certainly am. Maybe it’s time to stop asking. Nobody took gay liberation seriously until Stonewall, remember?

      Neurotypicals don’t self isolate in prosperous communities they overwhelming interact with people just only other rich people. The rich as a general rule if thumb go to extremes to avoid interacting with people of a lower socioeconomic status why do you think first class and private planes are a thing?

        Conspicuous consumption: if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

        Yes we do. I’m doing it, many coworkers are doing it. It’s great.
