My man, look, autistic people are great and all, just like we all are, but... I think you're overstating their importance. Not all of them are savants. Not all of them are productive. Not all of them are even good people. For every one we "lose" to something else there are others that get into collecting my little pony figurines. Right? I think people are overcorrecting from "it's OK to be autistic" to "autism is a superpower and we should revere them".
