    Which suggests that that set of disorders may be similar to autism.

    We autists are woodenheaded, aka monotropic.

    That stuckness is a problem, more than a solution, for most.

    That it’d also happen with moods… I’d never considered that possibility…

      It may, it may not. The note that it affects people with ADHD is a good indicator, but it’s not conclusive. People with autism do not always display disruptive behavior in the way the article is citing. We need to be careful about identifying “disruptive behavior” in ways that are more consistent with antisocial personality disorder vs. autism. The distinction between the two is critical.
