No, I see you might have misunderstood what I meant by hindrance. Your life is more difficult than it otherwise would be if not absent that condition. Not having an arm doesn't make you less than, it makes your life more difficult. The same thing applies to neurodivergence by definition.

I am not talking about small talk, that is a strawman of much more complex social interations. And by definition if you are autistic you cannot see the distinction. It's like arguing with a tritanopia colorblind person about the distinction between green and blue. They would say the distinction is unimportant where as typical sight would beg to differ. People call an autistic friend an asshole a lot before he explains his autism. He over-accentuates his frustrations which to the typical seems, and is, rude. It's not that he isn't being abrasive it's that he doesn't have the capacity to not be.

Anyway, I am not looking to get into a flex off where arguments are made about who is more capable of doing arbitrary things, which is rude, by the way. I was pointing out that there is a logical basis for wanting to avoid deviating too far from the mean as a survival strategy.
