Rainman was the reason I didn't consider being autistic for a long time, too. I'm certainly not that far out on the spectrum, but I'm still well able to collapse regularly if I don't get enough quiet time, as I've learned the hard way. The phrase "but everybody feels that way" was a sign of more than a few non-neurotypical people in my family tree, not a sign that we were all normal.
