The problem in our interaction is that, you are convinced that autism is a set isolated traits that are 100% correlated (which is a sign of autism complex disorder).

We are talking about different things, so I stop trying to convince you that autism is just a set of autistic traits (and an underlying biology).




No, that's not what I believe at all. The probelem is you've got your head shoved too far up your ass and you think you know everything, but you don't. Yes autism is a spectrum that needs into NT, and plenty of non-autistic people
, but it is also a complex disorder/fundemental difference in brain wiring, and not merely a sum of traits. The traits are indentified based on studying people known to be autistic, not the other way around. The fact you insist gluten sensitivity is a trait of autism despite it having nothing to do with the technical idea if autism just goes to show you are full of crap.

I'm sorry, but someone had to address this:

Plenty of autistics don't get bullied.
Plenty of neurotypicals do get bullied.

Just going to add one last thing, I don't think are ideas of what autism is are actually that difference, they key difference being you insist autism is not a disorder, but merely male traits being pathologized, which I think is nonsense.

Sorry for the lack of civility, I've been moody from lack of sleep, and in addition to the content of the posts, I've been annoyed with the how much time I've spent replying to these and the fact this thread includes my username, and he actually PMed me one of the replies.
