Excellent. What a great concept for a book, and much needed for those of us who want to understand the basics that the “autists” online seem to know inside and out, but who are either behind on our reading or too strapped for time to dive in. Not everyone on our side of things can or should be an autistic scholar anyway; some of us need to prioritize building families, growing gardens, and riding horses for a living. I think this book will bring us up to speed.

We have Big Dave Martel to thank for the brilliant idea, all I did was write the thing.

The ideal of the Cultured Thug seems strikingly similar to the Knight and the Samurai, warrior traditions from very different societies, yet they converged on the same ideal: cultivation of not only courage & skill at arms, but also cultural refinement.

Very true. The cultured thug is to be found in the Book of Five Rings, the Hagakure, etc. Something about the Japanese is very receptive to this idea.

I forgot to mention, the samurai seems to embrace this ideal even moreso than the knight.
