The list of 12 characteristics seems so vague it is hard to imagine that they are useful.

The tone of the site does not come off as rigorous, just look at "Do sociopaths love?. While it might be fun to read I would rather read it after reading more firmly grounded and rigorous articles.

Discussing sociopathy and rationality or neurotypicality and rationality or autism and rationality would be very interesting, but only with good rigorous resources at our disposal.
