Autism alone seems unusual. I have all the neurodivergences including savantism. I see us as the creatives. Autism is high sensitivity of the cognitive. ADHD is high as sensitivity of the body.

I don't understand why we don't see it as simply high sensitivity and drop the bs neurodevelopmental disorder. I developed "normal" because I just happen to have balanced somatic and cognitive intelligences they are just both very high.

I was seriously repressed from my savant gifts because the system forced me to be average. I would not find out I had a form of genius in middle age. Our system talks so much shit about creating genius when it's actually set up to destroy it.

It's the way our sensing varies that determines how we express our creative gifts. Our higher sensitivity causes the expression is to be greater.

Average people likely have the same variation but they do not express it. Because they are conditioned out of it in our systems due to high somatic oppression. The conditioning destroys creativity in 98% of the population according to studies. The most sensitive bodies and minds just outwardly show the damage.

Look up Stockholm syndrome and note how similar it is autism. School is captivity but with night time release. We are sensitive enough to manifest symptoms. Average is not.

We are missing 500 million savants thanks to the somatic oppression in our society. We should be celebrating and studying our intelligence not trying to denigrate us. But then we could not be exploited.

AI will suddenly elevate our value IF we build collectives to ensure we get our fair share.
