"We cannot think of Autism as an illness for which a cure can be
discovered". We do however observe in people described as Autistic a cast of
mind that renders them unsuitable for conventional forms of employment.
However, we see this economic frame of reference as holding the key to a
happy outcome. In benign circumstances, people with the capacity for deep
concentration have a great capacity to learn skills which are beyond the
broad mind. Mass production culture may have deprived the deep minded of
occasion to contribute to society as the pathfinders to physical resources,
but it has opened a vast spectrum of new opportunities. It is the deep mind
that has the capacity to read, understand and apply the technical manual, to
enter into the intricate labyrinth of the logic of the integrated circuit
and the computer program. It is the forager mind, insensitive to the way
everybody knows things should be done, which creates the paradigm
transforming technologies. Appropriate education would enable many ingenious
and creative people to be part of things, who are now totally excluded from
the mainstream of society. Education based on understanding could transform
this apparent problem into an opportunity.

Why was then 'NeuroTypical Syndrome' not added as an OED word as presented
in the BBC Two series Balderdash & Piffle is back with a new set of
intriguing word mysteries from the Oxford English Dictionary, especially
this weeks:- One Sandwich Short of a Picnic .
