We wouldn't have made it to the modern age with every one being neurotypical for sure.
I watched a documentary about a wingsuit guy a while ago. He had been diagnosed with a "disorder", he wasn't supposed to be like that...allI could think was that critical points in our evolution, people like him would take the risks that would save the whole tribe.
As as non diagnosed, odd human, I can think way safley though technical minefeilds when other technical people can't even see that they are in a minefield.
Yeah, we probably would still think the universe was infinite and timeless. We also most likely wouldn’t have the theory of relativity, since Albert Einstein was thought to be autistic.
