    It has been theorized that autistic people invented the first calendars (a skill for pattern recognition would have been extremely advantageous here)

    This is so uplifting. I mean it doesn't get rid of my 9-5 but having such a succinct piece detail how neurodiversity is more indicative of a failing society really hits home for me.

    I've always sort of knew that, as someone struggling with ADD but its nice seeing it outside of my head haha
