Comment on Ask HN: Do people with authism have emotions?

Comments

that's an insane idea. it's just that they can't find human things interesting, so they tend to not get invested in being more humane.

it'll lead to things like finding the act of banging the head to the wall all day to be more fun than trying to speak, and that's stupid, but that technically has nothing to do with IQ or emotion.

some maintain enough interest to be a functional yet awkward man, or sometimes they just end their lives banging on the wall. we don't know where in the human brain is that tunable parameter or how to adjust it.
