“…This reasoning is incredibly short-sighted as it disregards the value of diversity, and overlooks talents that might be inherent to those traits wrongly perceived as “inferior”. An example of such a trait is autism, which has been linked with a higher level of attention to detail and a particularly high level of originality in works (Paola et al, 2020). Some companies today have a preference towards autistic individuals, not out of charity or sympathy, but out of an appreciation of their unique attributes (Harris, 2017).…”

Thus, it is plausible that artistic motivations would present signs of domain-specificity.…”

“…Individuals with autism spectrum disorders demonstrate a high level of originality in figurative creativity when performing creative tasks [11]. A study of the verbal creativity of individuals with ASD in two aspects, comprehension and production of metaphors, showed that they solve these tasks using a different constellation of cognitive resources [12,13].…”
