Thank you for your cogent essay. I agree completely that contemporary wokery is unhelpful in managing the disorder. Commenting as an elderly basic neuroscientist with modest expertise in autism's causes, it seems that you perhaps once bought in to the myth that medical science advances mainly via dramatic breakthroughs. Indeed we are making progress in elucidating autism's causes, but (as with many other serious health problems) it's a really tough problem, and it's unlikely that we'll really understand autism in my lifetime, let alone have a cure for most cases. That's no reason to stop trying.
