Short conversational clip (YouTube Shorts) where Vishen Lakhiani asks if neurodiverse people are more intuitive. The respondent argues that many top traders show traits of spectrum disorders, that neurodiverse individuals can have complementary 'superstar' skills (e.g., pattern recognition or intuition), and that disabilities can be reframed as potentials—"Your pathology can be your potential."

So you're saying that people who have neurodiverse brains might be more intuitive?
Yes. Because, I mean, if you go, for example, to a dinner, all of the top traders, it is a walk through the park of a spectrum disorder. And I have often thought that it would be wonderful to teach children who you can tell their neurodiversity is going to negatively impact their lives, to teach them the skills where they're superstars, because there are those SK skills. It was synchronistic and intuitive that I had this brain that couldn't memorize the circulatory system and get into medical school, but could respond to these targets, these questions, get these pieces of information that other people couldn't. Your pathology can be your potential.
