This is Autism: Breakthrough Research Discoveries

Autism is neither neurodevelopmental nor a disorder.  It is simply an inherent neurophysiological difference in how the brain processes information.

Autism is perpetual and unrelenting hyperfocus, the state of intense single-minded concentration fixated on one thought pattern at a time to the exclusion of everything else, including one’s own feelings.  We who are autistic live in a specialized inner space that is entirely intellectual, free from emotional and social distractions.  We observe the world in scholarly detail, but without any emotional attachment to what we see.
