I don't think that we as a whole are aspy but we have some people in our system who identify very strongly with those experiences. David certainly felt like an 'alien anthropologist' before he even heard about AS and Daniel is practically 'face blind' and (to some of us) astoundingly literal about language. Perhaps their 'neural networks' use different brain structures than the rest of us?

We've noticed that a large portion of the functional plural community are aspy, perhaps you should cross post this to plural_living? I know a section of that community boycott this one.

Maybe it's just that aspy people are more likely to not see a problem with being different or are more open to thinking that their minds don't work like other people's and therefore more likely to become selves-aware?

Very interesting topic, thank you.
