Hey, suggestion: why don't we expand this topic to modern stories as well, instead of just mythology? Cause I heard someone mentioning some charaters he claimed were aspies: Sherlock Holmes. And Doctor House, who was supposedly inspired by Sherlock Holmes.
Quote:
Some of the prophets in the Old Testament display spectrum like tendencies. The level of detail in descriptions of buildings not yet built, but only imagined, that you see in the Torah, the precision of food laws etc. I'm not saying Moses was aspie, but you can certainly see how those particular traits helped form a nation... if they hadn't had those rigid food laws in the middle of a desert they'd have died.
Allow me to nitpick: this is assuming they ever spent so much time in the desert in the first place. I believe it's a common criticism that such a journey, even at that time, would have taken 10 days, not 40 years. And I'm also sceptical that those food laws did any good at all..
