My analogy of aspergers vs neurotypicallity - does this work for you?

[Full Steam]

Imagine the standard issue human mind as a scenery of rolling hills. Each Hill top represents innate talents. Each dip represents innate weaknesses.

Now consider the autistic mind as a scenery of mountain ranges. Each peak represents outstanding talents, each ravine innate extreme weaknesses.

NT society sees the mountain range, and rather than consider the amazing and unique view the peaks offer they see only the deep ravines of weakness. They then seek to fill in the valleys at the expense on the whole mountain range, destroying the peaks and the unique value they offer mankind.

The strategy should be to open up access to the peaks by helping people with the ravines and cliffs.

...and the occasional avalanche from too much noise

God and nature created mountains and valleys. But man needs flat land to build his great cities with. So it makes sense to cut the mountain tops off to fill in the valleys.

I think your analogy is fantastic.

 

[jamesaldrin]

It's not a bad analogy.

I wish I could build a ski lift so I could take others up to my peaks, the view is amazing.

Aaaand that ended up sounding way more sexual than I intended.
