Willie Mays was criticized for making “basket catches.” People thought that was weird—like people believe some of the actions and thoughts of autistic people are weird.
People needed to “accommodate” him—by letting him make his unusual catches, since they reaped results.
I would agree with that, Amity. What I heard via the grapevine regarding me is that I was stuck up because I did not participate in all the social interactions. :-(

I hope that’s clear.

Nobody ever thought I was "stuck up." They thought I was retarded......
I get that all the time too.
Being left alone and having as much autonomy as possible.
