    1. You can have both.
    2. Likely the reason you don’t have the “being good at math” autism was due to how schools operate, thus handle math education.
    3. If you’re lucky, you can force yourself to have a certain special interest, but doesn’t work for many.

    Not to be a buzzkill but this makes autism sound like some singular random quirky trait rather than a complex and profound difference in how you process the world around you as well as your own thoughts. Really rubs me the wrong way as an autist.

      i feel more that its a way for neurodivergent people to poke fun at how neurotypical people dehumanize them into babbling morons with no agency or feelings unless they happen to have the idiot savant trait that can be exploited

        I really hope that’s how most people read it, even though it doesn’t read like that to me at all. If the way it comes off to me is a common way to read it, that’d be pretty harmful. So I really hope your reading is the more common one.

          When I initially came across this picture the first few times, I have read in a similar manner as the other commenter replied as well. While I never got the original intention behind whoever updated the text in the picture that I’ve posted, it’s resonated with me in a positive way.
