An insider's explanation of how the autistic mind works

What is it about?

Autism can only be understood from the inside looking out. Those who are looking in have no frame of reference by which to understand what it is they are observing. Autism is neither neurodevelopmental nor a disorder. It is simply an inherent neurophysiological difference in how the brain processes information. We who are autistic live in a specialize 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.
