Do autists have high self-awareness?

[RetardedChinlet]

I think there are arguments for both answers.

On one hand, autists tend to be ignorant or uncaring about stuff outside their narrow set of interests.
On the other hand, autists aren't bound by their ego or social conventions like neurotypical people are, giving them an advantage in introspection.

Yes. During my second mental breakdown, I realized how superior my abilities truly were compared to the youth I encountered in group therapy.

Yes, even my PIQ. My fantasizing/daydreaming ability is quite astounding.

I call it heightened extra peripheral consciousness, the story of Enkidu says it all especially if you're an autistic incel.

"For when I was seduced by the temple prostitute [Shamhat] I lost all my powers, I was no longer able to communicate with the birds, animals, trees, spirit world, and the very heavens itself."
