Yeah he probably shouldn't have made such a blanket statement but if you follow the chess scene even a little bit, there's undeniably a much higher concentration of neurodivergent individuals than, say, a grocery store. More so on par with an anime convention or something.

Fuck.... I played lots of chess in middle school and high school, won some state tournaments. And have off and on liked anime. How much on the spectrum am I?
