It seems a lot of Autistic folks have shaped our world, maybe the stigma of autism is that normal people are scared of the evolutions next step.
We are not better than normal people, we are just different and that scares them, I know there is a spectrum where some people can cope better than others.
Its information overload which can be difficult to decipher.
I have recently self diagnosed with Autism, I think its caused by a gene mutation in DAT1 which is over expressed as a dopamine reuptake channel. This means that dopamine, is sucked out of its receptor site before it can do its job, so this leads to anxiety for no reason and studies have shown anxiety affects memory.
So anxiety causes a cloudy head and difficulty in communication, which might make it hard for people as they don't know what to say, this becomes a negative feed back loop.

I was reading about the origin of the species a few months back. I had no idea how many different varieties of human had existed. It's not just neanderthals and Homo Sapiens. It's a real fun thing to read up on.
There could have been tribes or species that lived remotely and didn't need to communicate much. A bit like in Lapland (sorry to any Fins or Lapps). Other skills matter, because there's less face to face communication, its too cold and too remote. And people thrive on their own with animals for company.
Apologies again if I've just generalised a race. It was easier with bees.
I'm off to bed, great chatting!
