An autistic brain processes reality in a different way than a non-autistic brain. It's not so difficult to understand if a nerd has AS or not, after all.
I'd like to make a small correction: "An Aspie brain processes
information in a different way.....". We have the same reality, even if it often does'nt work out so well for us
The problem is...the concept of a "nerd" has been coflated with what is now called "Aspie" for decades, and the two are hopelessly confused. Add to that the issue that the standards to "determine" AS are difficult to pin down, and you have confusion.
How about this....you are more likely to find Aspies in "nerd" populations.
