Does reading, and more specifically reading philosophy turn you into an autist?
No, but it can cause anomie.
If you have a tremendous amount of knowledge in your head, but no power to put it to use, you'll be depressed.
Kind of destroys the age-old saying that knowledge is power.

Because it seems as if most philosophy cant be put to use. So by what you're saying, any philosopher is bound to get depressed eventually. Unless putting to use can mean writing papers or books etc...
