      People keep talking about “neurotypical” people. I have never met one. I think the people who seem that way just have hyperfixations that are profitable and/or socially acceptable.

        pretty much. if you are hyper-fixated and gambling away every dime on the NFL, nobody calls you autistic.

        but if you do it on Pokemon cards, you can’t possibly be normal.
