VINCENT LEE HORTON ON AUTISTIC INQUIRY
—“The bard or village storyteller discovered that the better the mythology the more likely the audience and the storytelling became more valuable than the story. autistics place higher value in principles of communication that validate multiple points of reference to perception as the point of conversation in the first place.
I would argue that the ‘weakness’ [of autism] is actually the strength. Whereas an autistic is somewhat endlessly uncertain about their phenomenological reality they have adapted to continuously accumulate more points of reference to validate and therefore are better informed. The non-autistic has a handicap in their assumptions about truth.”— Vincent Lee Horton
Love it.
