The Narcissism Of Minor Diffidence

The Autism Scale is very inclusive place.
We all fit on it, somewhere between idiot savant
and multi-lingual international financial genius,
with much muddy mediocrity between.

For the 99 % there is no point in checking
where on the scale they or their neighbours are.
Something might be learned from the test,
but there would be no treatment worthy of the name.

The best we can do is try to be more empathic
to those around us whom we consider
to be less self aware, or nearer savant,
than the 'normal' that we like think we are.
