How “wired differently” is a completely shit explanation I want to rub out and replace for Autistics

I want to come at it from the perspective of what it feels like living as an Autistic person. “Wired differently” is not adequate, as the analogy relates to simply untangling the DC rat’s nest on the printed circuit board and coming up with the same circuit. It doesn’t really give an allistic person any clue as to what it feels like living in our brains.
