I tend to agree with that, though I think there are some difficulties this different brain wiring causes that wouldn't be there without it. So it certainly can interfere with functioning well at least that is how I feel about it. For instance finding normal amounts of noise painfully loud is not particularly helpful for instance. But over all I think it is a difference to be accepted and the focusing should be functioning well for an autistic individual not trying to make them appear neurotypical.
I mean I could likely write a paper on neurotypical social interaction if I did a bit of research, but I can't pull it off myself in real interactions even if I understand it...it helps me understand other peoples behavior but its not something I can mimic.
