Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

 

An autistic girl from Sweden (who speaks excellent English) discusses the Star Trek TNG episode "Darmok". 

Just as I expected, "Darmok" is extremely popular among autistic (and perhaps non-autistic) language nerds. The plot centers around the attempts by Captain Picard to speak with a race of space aliens who only communicate through mythological metaphors. 

The YouTube clip above also explains why the Star Trek universe in general is popular among neurodivergent individuals. 

Interesting, after a fashion.
