Very cool, if true

I've come to the same conclusion and I think I've seen at least one autistic person on Twitter trying to explain this to some parents too.

I wonder if most of the problem is that kids with both issues are just being diagnosed as 'low functioning autistics' so parents who are really struggling just aren't seeing that the autism bit isn't the (only) problem. I get the impression that even supposed specialists can have very different ideas about anything neurological - we really do still have a very poor grasp of how brain wiring works in general!

But also not my area of expertise either, my understanding is based almost entirely on reading stuff on Twitter and if I've misunderstood any of the autists trying to educate me, I apologise too.
