If a nonautistic person experienced the same intensity as an autistic person does when their needs aren't met, they would likely have the exact same, or very similar reaction as autistic people.

And if everyone else knew what the autistic brain did, there would be no confusion regarding the reaction.
It would be perfectly clear and understandable.

We should include the costs of new transmission, batteries etc when considering the costs of transitioning to clean energy
BUT we should also include the entire costs of building and maintaining the old power grid when comparing this to the costs of keeping the fossil fuel system
It's only fair 😉

We could be drinking lemonade in the shade of an apple tree in the summertime, and Uncle Alex would interrupt the conversation to say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"
