I read an interesting theory on this recently.

We all know about how people adapt.  Someone with poorly functioning legs, for
example, will adapt and usually build very strong upper body muscles as
compensation.

People with autism do the same thing, but from a mental point of view.  So
someone with autism who is socially inept will develop other mental skills to
the point where they are very strong in order to compensate for the defect in
the social areas.

So the geeks in high school don't go to dances, but they do go to the science
fairs and win prizes.

Well, I don't think it's a memory problem.  It's more of a mental illness.

And it's time for another Thomas Sowell quote:
"It's amazing that so many people on the left are able to just ignore that
which goes against their theories."

For Alan, when he hears (sees) an fact that goes counter to his false
Narrative, he simply ignores it.
