    What is often described as autistic in Hollywood is usually an advantage, such as determination or a razor-sharp mind and good memory. However, the truth is different for many of those affected, as they do not have pronounced insular talents and often experience disadvantages with their tics and social problems. It is harder for others to overlook such flaws when there are no obvious advantages.

        Yes, it is quite easy to find successful people as examples. But there are also those whose autistic disorders make life in our current society very difficult, and they are neither successful nor suitable for Hollywood.
