It's a familiar story to many of us: In prehistoric times, men were hunters and women were gatherers. Women were not physically capable of hunting because their anatomy was different from men. And because men were hunters, they drove human evolution.
I would think the hyperfixations high-functioning people on the spectrum often have would be of great benefit in a society where you do what you’re best able to do.
hell we’re still a great benefit, it’s just that we’re not given the help we need to find the right occupation and then when we can’t find it on our own we’re looked down upon as societal leeches.
This is why UBI should be a no-brainer, it would enable so many people to do good work that they’re currently unable to because society actively hinders them.
I don’t disagree with you. I was just talking about it in the context of prehistoric hunter-gatherers.
