“We suspect that the early development of inherited autism was in part an evolutionary response to ultra-harsh climatic conditions at the height of the last Ice Age. Without the development of autism-related abilities in some people, it is conceivable that humans would not have been able to survive in a freezing environment in which finding food required enhanced skills”, she said.

Good to see those on the spectrum getting some positive acknowledgement..
I had a situation at work where people were focused and stuck on one solution that was really complicated and difficult.
I said something completely different and the solution was brilliant.
I felt like a genius.
So many NTs could not find the solution. I simply thought a little bit about the problem and found a great idea.
I realized that I was really motivated then as their complex and difficult solution would be a headache to me.
I often have good ideas but the employer is not interested to help me feel better in the workplace, therefore, I am not very motivated and interested to help the employer, in general.
Good for you and a point well made. Who was more shocked, you or them? You have a lot to offer... logic, lateral thinking etc. These are important skills
I do not know the answer to the question but my idea was integrated very quickly and they dropped their own idea completely almost immediately.
California said: I feel a little bit discriminated
are they aware that you have aspirations? Is that anything in particular that makes you feel discriminated against?
