I can't help thinking this perhaps relates to the idea I read that autism is a preference for intellectual thinking. Preferring that to social thinking because of being stronger in it.


This could explain the social deficits, but not the repetitive behaviour/restricted interests.


See, from remembering what I read, I think it very well might. And, realize, intellectual thinking is more a label than a description. It's a descriptive label, but not a full description. But is my two word summary of a much fuller idea. And it's not the same thing as those same words may mean at other times.
