Too many supposedly autistic traits are present in neurotypical people. In my study of autism I've seen a lot of autistic chauvinism and I'm finding myself viscerally opposed to smug celebration of the challenges autism poses for the people who suffer from it.
Put bluntly, autism doesn't prevent autistic people from falling into line and propagating "civilized" dysfunction. I enjoy the quotes this article puts around "civilized" from the standpoint of delegitimizing social approval as anything but a convenient and easily misused fiction, but not if it is used as a prop for autists to feel as if they are in any way superior.
Pride in neurodiversity is one thing, but autistic chauvinism is dangerous.

Traits which cause interpersonal conflict are traits which cause interpersonal conflict.
