New theory:
The variability in skill-sets of Autistic people naturally creates a sub-group of capable people (e.g. savants with relevant skills) who care for those in need
i.e. Autism can turn tribalistic instincts into general empathy, a trait neurotypicals relatively struggle with by comparison.

It’s kind of amazing how humanity collectively built the most comprehensive and accessible information repository of all time, and then a handful of people decided to let loose a bunch of broken robots to stochastically pollute it for no clear reason whatsoever

I'm actually really good at identifying dangerous situations and toxic people, but it's not actually a super power, it's a trauma response, so I get a lot of false positives so I have to ignore my danger sense a lot and - Yes, like that time Doom overcharged Spider-Man's Spider-Sense to distract him

The stereotypical *myth* is that all Autistic ppl are good at math.
The Truth is that, common to the nature of the Autistic spectrum, Autism co-occurs with *divergent* mathematical an numeric ability.
