I find the proposed connection between latent inhibition and stress cup makes a lot of sense - like in a ... epiphany... why didn't I think of that before because it's so obvious kind of way.
Latent inhibition is a very typical "problem" (I hate to call it that for it's negative connotation, but can't think of a better word right now) for neurodivergent people. (tangent: I recently read an article why ADHDs (and probably applys to ASDs too) often avoid eye contact, because their brains are *already* taking in so many more information - eye contact would overload the brain as maintaining eye contact? Really f*cking hard work for the brain. Let me see if I can find that article.

Little bit of a tangent, because I really like that here in the discussion at least, HIQ seems to be regarded as neurodivergent without question.
I've actually been in a little bit of a headed-turned-ugly discussion in a ND community earlier this year (which ended up getting me kicked out - I elaborated in length in my diary on it) because folks there took beef with me defending the HIQ=ND standpoint DESPITE there being actual studies.
With everything that is and might be wrong with the concept of "intelligence" (mostly because it's been abused/caused a lot of bad things and because people apply some sort of judgment/value to it (aka high intelligent == better) - something that's completely alien to myself), I find all this, especially the connection between high IQ, comorbid ASD/ADHD - and particularly the neurodevelopmental/biological component to those three - and mental disorders extremely interesting and have myself spent a lot of time researching and reading.
But I've repeatedly found myself unable to actually discuss it with anyone because of that widespread tendency of not being able to discuss anything "high intelligence" because of the previously mentioned problems of being regarded as arrogant/elitist/narcissist. My genuine (scientific) curiosity is regularly confused with social/character traits ... (yeah, one of those things I've struggled all my life with being a high IQ inquisitive person ... it's always been regarded as stubborn and challenging when in reality I just really wanted to discuss a subject from various angles/to better understand ...)
