On this site I have repeatedly seen talk about autism spectrum disorder and it is obvious to me why many of those who think about rationality and of those who "are on the spectrum" would be the same people.
Just because the consequences and domains of failure are similar they even get misdiagnosed for another. To me it is the same spectrum. They are not similar, they are opposites.
Is there anything that speaks against this assumption, hypothesis?

BPD - ASD
socially hyper-sensitive - socially hypo-sensitive
hyper-emotional - hypo-emotional
hyper-neurotic - hypo-neurotic
interest in people - interest in things
focus on feelings - focus on facts
mostly females - mostly males
wants to express subjective feelings - wants to arrange, order world to objective criteria (What does the person want to bring to the outside?)
Overall I see an over emphasis on the observable empirical disabilities, consequences and a lack of understanding the motivation, mediating cause. Because psychology depends on self-reporting, there is a strong perception bias that is not accounted for but answers are reported as fact.
