Per capita - Autistic people are the most violent group in society
-
UK: we are told autistic people are 1% of the population
Prevent programme (anti terrorist programme) - up to 50%
Unusually Violent crimes (depending on definition) - up to 25%
Terror attacks by all ideology - 33%
People are scared to talk about this subject.
Maybe it is different in other countries, but autistic people have committed some horrific crimes in this country.

Radioactive subject matter.

Really, what is autism? It's so recognisable, yet at the same time impossible to define.

A "neurodevelopmental" dis-order. The science is settled.
If you could add another word before perceive, think and act, what would it be.

No doubt serious-tone-in is an impeding factor.

Most clinical distinctions are a long way from debilitating, and wester's stats (assuming they're legit) are only fraction of them. So very specifically in this context, in this very noisy world. It probably is.

My stats are from google, and they are accurate.
Autistic people are also 9% of the british prison population.
That's a massive overrepresentation
"a 2021 report by the Chief Inspector of Prisons suggested that up to half (50%) of people entering prison have some form of neurodivergent condition."
even I don't believe that figure, that does sound like an exaggeration, but it does show the numbers are high, -

That's broader than autism so it could well be that high.
This is just as much of a failure of the various compartments (is any of it really separate) of medicine, science and economics to do their jobs as it is anything irreparably 'wrong' with the subjects. And at some point, we're all involved. Which is probably part of the scare you mentioned.
Room for improvement.
