Autistic Aliens (or parallel hominids)

""yet has next to none social instincts" That's an over-simplification, I think. High functioning people have "social instincts", they are just incomplete, and sometimes the "wrong ones", at least for getting along with Neurotypical people. The question is if you have a planet with nothing but HFA, presumably they would get along well enough to survive, because there are no NT people to compete with them. But their social practices would surely look a lot different."

Well just because I'm am Autistic, or diagnose with it, doesn't mean I'm an instant expert on it nor does that mean I'm the best at writing about it.

That stated, this is a better explanation than my own.

One should also note that this generation might begin to organized the diagnoses of it differently and give it a different name(s), Already we got aspergers being called a different thing entirely and high functioning autism might might be called "eccentric-something-disorder"

Any names for the species?

Please note the timestamps. The last post was from seven years ago. It is highly unlikely that anyone from 2015 is still around.

Well, except for me, but I'm weird that way.
