I can feel my brain burning as i am reading into the mind of the greatest savant.
A guy who seemed to have travel back from the world of autism.

Oh anw, we should not be too stressed out.
In stressful situations, our bodies produce a heightened flow of a class of steroid called glucocorticoids, which us more alert. Unfortunately, they also turn out to be toxic for the brain. As stress persists, neurons weaken and the hippocampus - a part of the brain crucial for learning and memory - starts to shrink.
That is why there is the saying - a calm mind thinks better.
