Then being smart isn't enough. You also have to be resilient, lucky, and privileged (not enough systemic factors outside of systemic ableism to wash you out in a psychological and logistical pincer attack), and also lucky again to get past the many societal filters that block most autistic success and create the illusion of some unicorn like uniqueness in all visible versions of autistic success. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago Sure, make sure to go back in time so that you aren't overestimulated in your environment, don't get bullied until you suffer an anxiety disorder, and have someone inspire interest in you for something capitalist society pays well for. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nutsack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago yes come to my house permalink fedilink source parent [–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago Aspergers is still a stony route. permalink fedilink source parent
