"Autistic children will be discluded from the study for skewing results"

"Autism involves a significant deviation from expected behaviour"

They have played us for absolute fools.

(I know autism describes a real cluster of traits, but it is only socially constructed norms that define those traits as aberrant, I am not saying it isn't real)

Yeah, we create the rules that decide whether or not someone is autistic, and we decide what is viewed as "weird" (honestly, everyone is weird, if you were perfectly average in every way, you would actually, in a way, be weird)
