Famous Auto-didacts and Benefits of Self-Learning

Many well-known figures throughout history, such as Michael Faraday, Frida Kahlo, Bill Gates, and Albert Einstein, were self-learners. Autistic individuals often exhibit diverse interests and skills due to their self-taught nature. Self-learning opens up new worlds and interests for autistics, keeping them engaged and rarely bored. Tech companies are recognizing the value of self-taught skills, and some no longer require college degrees for certain positions. Self-learning provides a sense of purpose, accomplishment, and satisfaction while offering distractions from stressors in life. It allows autistics to continuously expand their knowledge and expertise, making them perpetual learners.
