Yes.

She also smoked like a gajillion cigarettes a day which is definitely a red-flag for autism. Not that everybody who smokes a tonne is autistic, but every autistic smoker smokes a tonne.

>I like to think of fire held in a man’s hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind–and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.

Confirmed autist. The trains help coordinate stability cuz its just one thing to some, but money and industry are not really an autistic thing to belabor.

Kindness and manners are subjective though. It's a wide spectrum. Anyone can be just as kind and just as rude as anybody.

But for me, I don't give a fuck.

I didn't know she loved trains. I love trains. Also her books are pretty dumb but I've always thought she was cute from her photos.

it was literally autism or at least sociopathy, which is why all her characters speak like dave chappelle's white man parody and are generally terrible people. all of her self insert characters (which like every novel has) are total whores who fuck all over the place, backstab, lie, and cheat to get what they want and it's clear that ayn rand saw literally nothing wrong with this.

Unironically she was autistic.
Though I believe in order to be an author you have to be somewhere on the spectrum, so she's not unique in this fact.

>At 9, she decided to become a writer; by 11 she’d written four novels, each of which revolved around a heroine exactly her age but blonde, blue-eyed, tall, and leggy. (Rand was—by her own standards—unheroically dark, short, and square.) At 13, she declared herself an atheist. It’s hard not to suspect, based on many of these childhood anecdotes, that Rand suffered from some kind of undiagnosed personality disorder. Once, when a teacher asked her to write an essay about the joys of childhood, she wrote a diatribe condemning childhood as a cognitive wasteland—a joyless limbo in which adult rationality had yet to fully develop. (It was possibly a good thing that she never had children.) In middle school she found herself uncharacteristically intrigued by another student, a seemingly intelligent girl who was also popular—a contradiction in the Rand cosmology. Hoping to solve the mystery, and possibly even make a friend, Rand approached her. “Would you tell me what is the most important thing in life to you?” she asked, showing once again her flair for smooth opening lines. “My mother,” the girl answered. Rand turned away, disgusted. As an adult, she called this exchange “the first most important event in my life socially” and analyzed it as follows: “I had thought she was a serious girl and that she was after serious things, but she was just conventional and ordinary, a mediocrity, and she didn’t mean anything as a person.”
