I don’t know if this applies to all or even most other autistic people, but my autism has almost been exclusively positive for me.
Really the only negative thing that ever happens is people being mean or making fun of me because I don’t understand the social rules. But it happens less and less as I both learn the rules and frequent more mature people who don’t care if you’re slightly awkward and don’t always know how to end a conversation 🤷🏻♀️
Autism is not a handicap in my case. Not even slightly.
I would say yes. The only time you don’t is when I already agree with you, but that’s because I (hopefully) already know the good argument.
I don’t believe in “common sense”, that’s just the biases someone already has. Some of them correct, some of them not, all unchecked therefore all invalid as a basis for anything.
