Check out Frankie MacDonald, he's an autistic savant meteorologist. Not saying that in any disrespectful way, I know some people get a bit butthurt when using those words.

I don't know if he's commented on it yet, but if he has, >99% chance he's correct.

Incongruence detected.


If someone ACTUALLY is a savant with Asperger's or autism, is it disrespectful to point that fact out when you are gauging the importance of their predictions?


OP using the term "butthurt" shows a certain dismissiveness, no?
