There are two things you should know about me: 1.
I have autism. 2. I am fascinated by dating culture. There is more of a connection between these two things than you might think.

You’ve probably experienced this before (though maybe not in those terms): When you’re lost in concentration trying to solve a problem like a broken computer, you’re more likely to neglect other tasks, things like remembering to take the dog for a walk, or picking your kid up from school. This is why people who use cell phones behind the wheel actually perform worse as drivers. It’s why air traffic controllers focused on averting a mid-air collision are less likely to pay attention to other planes in the sky. We only have so much cognitive capacity to spread around. It's a scarce resource. This understanding of the brain’s bandwidth could fundamentally change the way we think about poverty.
