How do neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders affect generation archetype? - AspieMillennial - 06-09-2019
Because of my Aspergers I can't fully relate to any archetype. How does Autism affect generational theory?

It doesn't. Generational theory should be considered like macroeconomics - it attempts to explain the larger forces that drive things at a societal level. How it impacts the individual is largely irrelevant.
I think of it in the same way that an individual shouldn't use macroeconomic trends as a key determinant in choosing whether to buy a house (one's personal financial situation is a few thousand times more important).
