Pretty clear theres a tradeoff between social intelligence and other forms of intelligence

Or "there's a fine line between genius and insanity".

It’s kind of rude to equate autism with “insanity”, but I understand you probably didn’t mean it that way.

He equated being insane with being a genius. Nowhere did he mention autism.

I'm diagnosed as autistic and I am therefore more qualified than you to classify what is rude and what isn't rude to autistic people. I think misrepresenting what he actually said is what is rude, not what he in actuality said.

>Nowhere did he mention autism.

It's implied by being in a discussion about autism.
