Based on what I've read lately, my consensus perspective is that 80% of what people consider autism is actually just the western diet's effect on normal brain chemistry.

"I prefer to do things on my own, rather than with others."
"I prefer doing things the same way - for instance my morning routine or trip to the supermarket"
"I find myself becoming strongly absorbed in something – even obsessional"
These are all questions everybody living in a modern society can relate to.
Of course autism is a real condition, but modern society somewhat requires people to be machine like and that can easily look like someone is on the spectrum.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
It's fine to make the point, but it's inevitable that it will stir up strong feelings in others, so it's important to express the point thoughtfully and substantively. In this case, citing credible evidence and being compassionate rather than dismissive, would make a big difference.
