    whether autism is or is not an illness, disease or disorder has no bearing on what i said

    you seem to be misinterpreting my comment as being a judgement of value on autism or autistic folks, which it is not

    my point is based on the common symptoms, effects and predispositions of autism, especially ones that cannot be pinned on mistreatment

    completely and entirely regardless of whether it is a ‘valid’ or ‘normal’ neurology or not, and completely and entirely regardless of whether autistic folks can or cannot be blamed for any of it
