    And if you discover that its because you’re autistic, try to forgive yourself for your social deficiencies and forgive others for misinterpreting those deficiencies as intentional or careless acts.

      I mean if it’s because of some untreatable issue, yeah I guess there would only be so much to do about it. Sidebar, I thought transcranial magnetic stimulation was useful for some forms of autism but I really haven’t heard much about it in a long time. Maybe its efficacy was questionable.

          The cases that I’ve seen are very positive. One patient described it as living life in black and white and someone turned on the color aka there was a new depth to their experience of life. Generally it’s not like a lobotomy. Also useful for drug resistant depression in some cases.
