My diagnosis allowed me to finally realize why neurotypicals seem to lack "theory of mind," why they act so inconsistently, seem so superstitiously, and be so prone to believing they have unprovable "mental powers."

We autistics are actually the James Randy in this realm of self-believed nonsense! No one has collected our million dollars yet but there are so many "believers" that it's very disconcerting!
