Henry and Kamila Markram:
> The Intense World Theory states that autism is the consequence
> of a supercharged brain that makes the world painfully intense
> and that the symptoms are largely because autistics are forced
> to develop strategies to actively avoid the intensity and pain.
> Autistics see, hear, feel, think, and remember too much, too
> deep, and process information too completely. The theory predicts
> that the autistic child is retreating into a controllable and
> predictable bubble to protect themselves from the intensity and
> pain. [...] Autistics could be at the pioneering edge of human
> brain evolution.
