    I’m a well-sorted Zen Monk in your chart, but you’d really rate autism as more brain-damaged than literal schizophrenia?

    The walking, raving, hallucinating, spiders in the skin, swimming walls, schizophrenia?

    Many people with autism can lead moderate to fully functioning lives, i.e: A good chunk of YouTube content producers who churn out daily videos about a single, highly constrained topic (e.g: bridge reviews in multiple nations).

    I think I’d put autism in Category 2 of your chart, leaving the rest where it is

    P.S: I agree with your intergenerational insanity hypothesis; I’d summarize it as intergenerational trauma, actually, like a psychological debt deferred to progeny with interest
