Lovecraft was not autistic by a mile, you dipshit.
Of course, you judge people like lovecraft and e.howard based on nothing but biased researches on google.

>literally passed his whole teenage years in his room or gardening or something
>his wife was the only woman in his life, she literally approached him and did everything to get in a relationship with him, the man didn't understand anything on how to actually talk to women
>couldnt even find a simple job to support him and his wife while he was in new york and she lost her job
Sure he was completely normal anon.

>>19781621
He had a mental breakdown trying to do math and spent the next decade as a housebound nervous wreck.

>>19781656
Broad and biased statements.. uh oh..

You don't even believe what you wrote.
You just wrote this to prove your ignorant point of view.

>>19781656
So you think that having a steady job and a healthy relationship with the woman you love is normal, eh? WRONG

>>19781667
He had infinitely eloquence on his letters about complex and broader issues. Not to mention sane and complete comical takes.
Do not try to label him with ''autism''. At the very best, the guy was beyond 99% of the population of this shithole website.
>Uhh but he was antisocial
Haha, I will not even bite anymore

>>19781677
You are a fucking idiot, Houellebecq wrote an essay on him and it's one of the best one on Lovecraft. What are your sources you absolute fucking monkey? It's been 2 posts and you still didn't debunk anything, so try to be useful for once in your miserable existence.

What was his problem with rural New England? Its all muh decadence. I'm sure there were nice people in Massachusetts once.

>>19781702
Uhh.. his letters that you can pretty much get a whole bunch of it for free on archive.org ?

Have you even lived with someone with autism anon ? Do you even have some kind of professional knowledge about the diagnosis of someone with autism ?
Go check some little videos on youtube and other sources of people with autism, and try to compare with some writer like Lovecraft or Howard.
Try to use your last 2 brain-cells for once.

>>19781703
I just have a feeling of you being wrong. Look, this is going nowhere. Why don't we change the subject.

>>19781763
So you really think that when we use the term autism here we are refering to actual clinical autism? You have to go back you absolute clown, you don't even know what you're talking about. Cringe.

>Insists on Houellebecq's essay about another author's life, which pretty much had the same sources of anyone (works,biographies,letters)
>"What are your sources you absolute fucking monkey?"
>Asks seriously for sources to compare with autism
>Oh no, we are just joking, we are not REALLY talking about 'autism', just you know the muh funny racism

Wow.. /lit/ really is pseudo central for manchildren

>>19781874
You completely ruined this thread by acting like a clinical autist.

>>19781930

I'm glad, you fucking dipshit. I doubt you little rats read any of these authors.

Frank Herbert
Steven Runciman

As someone who considers Lovecraft a dearly missed but departed old friend, he was absolutely autistic.

>>19782081
Anymore from HP Litcraft?

>>19782150
Anon, Lovecraft, with all of his insights, writings, walks and sociability, was clearly not autistic.
You compare hpl with the modern day neurotic youngman addicted to their smartphones and computers... and wow, he was absolutely way more neurotypical and educated.

>>19782177
>sociability
Most of his social interactions were from writing shitpost letters to sci-fi magazines.

>Takes all of your gay nerd shit and makes it popular and profitable after you die in poverty
>Mogs you so hard your pajeet super fan still seethes about it to this day.

>>19781580
Pretty much any science fiction writer of the classic era

>>19783091
August Derleth was a chad? Genuinely surprised

>>19783221
He was the polar opposite of Lovecraft, a Chad Catholic Outdoorsman.

>>19781621
Of course he was

He was not. And you are practically wasting your time here if you think one of the fat dudes on this thread will read your personal list.
>Plato,Schopenhauer,Goethe
yeah, right

>>19783319
He was at the very least, off. Autistic gets thrown around quite freely though, so maybe not clinical. Why don't you think he is though?

>personal list
that's why it's funny

>Plato
He'd shitpost and start debates then record them into books.

>Schopenhauer
Why wouldn't he post here.

>Goethe
The guy who defends pederesty and wrote Faust is definitely 4chan-tier.

>>19783348
I don't need to tell you that reducing authors like that is quite bad.
Low effort thread. sage.

>>19783357
Have some fun, lighten up.

>his wife was the only woman in his life, she literally approached him and did everything to get in a relationship with him, the man didn't understand anything on how to actually talk to women
I hope I can find a woman like this someday.
