not to mention that “super genius” autistic people can and often are quite terrible at taking care of themselves or being all-around functional (BC It’s A Disability). people seem to so easily forget that neither neurotypicals nor autists are better than each other, both brain chemistries have pros and cons and can fit together, clash, or exist neutrally side-by-side
