I find it really interesting that so many of us here are autistic or ADHD or both. There's something about being on the spectrum that makes you... I don't know, insightful? Harder to fool with obvious bullshit? I do know that in other areas of my life I often spot things well before anyone else does, frequently to the point that nobody believes me until they figure it out for themselves. Occasionally I'll get a "we should have listened to you", which is true. People don't listen to me.
It's probably because we think about things in a different way and are naturally more inclined to be analytical over being emotional when the situation calls for it.
