@billdubya@Luizmd So where a lot of older autistic people learned that their behavior was wrong and so learned to mask, today autistic traits are not considered "bad behavior" or kids "acting out" needing to be punished, but rather accommodated for in order to allow for proper development.
@billdubya@Luizmd Because a lot of different diagnosis' were collected under the autism spectrum such as aspergers, etc, plus the fact that we have more kids actively checked now...

Chances are that all of this is just straight up conservative lies... you know... the only thing conservatives can do. Other than diddling kids.
@CopyOfOne@nicolelampert That's not what taqiyya is about. It's about being allowed to claim that you're not a muslim if the association could lead to your death. It's purely for the safety of practitioners under persecution... which you seem to be willing to do.
