Autism and adhd are an integral part of humanity. We could not exist without evolution. We could not exist without adhd and autism either.
Progress is always two steps forward one step back. Or 5 and 2. But it has to happen that way; someone has to eat the poison mushroom.
On an individual level we wouldn’t want to, of course. So what evolution does is give us these wacky emotions, which make us do stupid shit that benefits the species. Like eating mushrooms.
All humans function like this.
Adhd is where this random risk-taking behaviour is cranked up. And autism is where the meaning-and-order side is on high volume.
So adhd makes you go out and do crazy shit like procreation. Then autism makes you reel it in, go whoah we need a house for this baby, get your shit together.
Adhd is evolution for the mind. Evolution for society. And then autism is like synaptic pruning, coming in to clean up the mess.
It’s the creative process. Cast a net. Reel it in. Some nets are cast wider and reeled in harder, is all.
Inappropriate thoughts and emotions? No.
Evolution. The errors are a feature.
