And how it has a like 84% correlation with autism. Pretty sure I'm in the 16% because I'm a dead ringer for ADHD and only have some autism spillover, mostly sensory processing issues and being a bit slow on the social uptake due to lax attention, but still, you'd think people would look at a 3 year old reading books without ever having been taught how and go "hey that's kinda weird" instead of thinking "he was reading at 2, he's smart, he'll figure out this social stuff and not grow up self-isolating from rejection sensitivity and abandonment issues"
EDIT: The more I think about it the more I think I might have some more ASD issues than I thought and if so that's fine I guess, life's a constant struggle to cope either way, if it's true it's another avenue to follow that's already well-explored.
