    What if these differences aren’t the result of autism, but societal neglect as a result of autism?

    Think about it. Increased flight/fight and less developed super imporant regions school is supposed to stimulate development in. It’s like that basketball coach analogy. People don’t waste time on those they don’t believe in. Add in some bullying and voila. Perfectly adapted to the enviroment!

      The result of societal neglect as a result of autism is a result of autism.

      Like, there’s no perfect way to distinguish between those things.

        The cause for developmental delays is different. One is direct, the other indirect and enviromental.
