Postmodern Literature is Autisic? Hmm

From Alex Sobel at Electric Lit:

Postmodern Literature Is the Best Expression of What It’s Like to Be Autistic

He eloquently expresses the "beads off their string" character of autistic memory and experience, and I've lived that.

The autistic spectrum is really multi-dimensional, not just "more or less". But there are certainly "subclinical autistics"; people who otherwise fit the personality profile and characteristic preferences, but have come out with no functional disability (in that respect, anyway). "No disability, no diagnosis".

I think there is a central stereotype for "the autistic type", but between the variations we start with and the differences in the environment we have to deal with, well, that's a lot of range for development. Which makes it really hard to draw good generalizations, but when has that ever stopped anyone from drawing generalizations?
