A low-cost tool accurately distinguishes neurotypical children from children with autism just by watching them copy the dance moves of an on-screen avatar for a minute. It can even tell autism from ADHD, conditions that commonly overlap.

Interestingly, there was actually a study showing that autistic people are generally better at square dancing in particular. There's even evidence to suggest that all proficient square dancers are likely on the spectrum. Fascinating stuff, and we're talking about highly legit studies here.

My statistics professor loved to square dance. He also wrote manuals for every single calculator you could possibly use for that specific course. He included step by step guidance for carrying out the calculations for at least 10 different calculators. He was honestly, the best math professor I ever had because he explained things well and worked out problems in a very consistent way. I took him for trig as well. He made manuals for that course too (he did it for allllll of the subjects he taught). I could definitely see him being on the spectrum.

Could you honestly see him not being on the spectrum?
