Re: Unpopular opinions

As a person who has learned about and researched the symptoms and signs of certain autism spectrum disorders, I find it stupid when people claim that portrayals of smart or skilled autistic people are "unrealistic" , "unbelievable" and "special snowflake".

I mean its one thing if they're made so over the top Sueishly smart that they're more competent than government agencies, that's just plain old bad writing.

But being skilled at one focused subject or average to above average in intelligence? That's literally part of the diagnosis. What do you think people with a passionate and super-focused interest do? They learn more about it.

It's just a matter of how you write it. Don't make them "the smartest person" or "intellectually superior to everyone" but making them smart or specially skilled in that area is not a bad thing.
