Comment on He's just eccentric

As the years go on, I’m more affirmed of the position that the term ‘autism’ is used to explain every day behaviours, but by below average IQ people. They’re both cognitive spectrums, after all. But even experts of the latter struggle to define it.

It’s why more and more we hear, “Well I guess everyone’s a little on the spectrum.” So if it’s normal, not being so is not normal.

I think, “The average person isn’t below average” is synonymously more true—obviously—in context of cognitive application.

At this rate the modern, “Haha! NERD!!!” aka. “autistic” will be someone that folds washing or can’t socially explain the Dunning-Kruger effect to a person that thinks it’s European Ben & Jerry’s, entirely missing the critique on their education in politics being from X.

My drunken point is, who the fuck doesn’t like sorting wires? You ever dealt with those messy things?! Only an idiot wouldn’t.
