Cognitive disabilities are super powers in the right and healthy proportions. As a person diagnosed with ASD this has become quite evident. I gave specific examples of how. The whole point is calli g them cognitive disabilitiea is a bad take. They are personality traits that whwn they become too exagerated cause harm, but in healthy proportions are good.

Ths relative nature of social expectations is exactly how psychiatry is designed. Desieases are generalally ide tified by their manifestation when among the normal population.

One of the studies i helped work on shows, interestingly, how people who would qualify for an autism diagnosis based on their expiernce when living in the states typically when reevaluated relative to their interactions in another countery (in this case when living in germany) they know longer met the diagnostic criteria in many cases.

Also calling someone diagnosed on the ASD who is a professional researxh scie tist who has worked to advance the topic and ablist is kinda out of touch with reality and rude, but we can let that slide...
