New research suggests that people with autism may possess a unique form of creativity, characterized by "divergent thinking" and an ability to generate innovative ideas. A study published in The Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders found that individuals with autistic traits tend to come up with fewer suggestions, but the suggestions they do offer are often more unusual and outside-the-box than those of neurotypical individuals. This challenges common assumptions about autism and creativity, highlighting the importance of rethinking how we measure creative potential.
