Reading the headline all I can think about is that many people with autism are not capable of communicating, or if they are, only in a limited way. Literally people who do not have a voice to speak for themselves.

Like severe autism? Yeah.

Moderate and below that I think you can live a pretty free life. Its not like down-syndrome. Autism is surprisingly normalized.

Yes, depending on whose stats you use it's 20-30% of those diagnosed. Not a small amount and people I worry about being dependent on private equity.
