The Passionate Mind: How People with Autism Learn

This participatory approach is allowing researchers to harness insights from autistic lived experiences and formulate meaningful ways of gathering evidence about autistic behaviour that had not previously been captured by traditional research programmes.

A particular strength that lots of autistic people have is the ability to systemise (Baron-Cohen et al. 2003), that is to understand how to analyse and construct systems, and so it is that I find life much easier when I can turn the abstract and vagueness into its own system.
