We must first dialectically define 'looking autistic', as well as what 'Plato's Style' is, and if the two are compatible, correct?

And then, natural, we could define looking autistic as acting in a manner that would lead others to perceive that we actually are autistic?

Seeing then, that we are no great wits, I think that we had better adopt a method which I may illustrate thus; suppose that a short-sighted person had been asked by some one to read small letters from a distance; and it occurred to some one else that they might be found in another place which was larger and in which the letters were larger --if they were the same and he could read the larger letters first, and then proceed to the lesser --this would have been thought a rare piece of good fortune.
