    Really interesting! It makes me want to get scanned now bc I share a number of the same character traits that you mentioned. But, who knows how much that is just looking for a pattern/explanation or whether it’s even a common thing. Having some idea of the cost and maintenance of NMR and MRI machines, I don’t imagine many places offer walk-in elective scans for bargain prices.

      I was told by the neuro that the incidence of this is approximately 1:24000 births, so not exactly rare but not real common. Bet that ratio would drop if more autistics were actually scanned
