So many of the traits that are bundled into the label autistic are on par with lactose intolerance.

Lactose intolerance in adults is something that the majority of our species lives with. It's only the Indo-European minority that can keep drinking cow's milk after puberty.

  Inability to tolerate fluorescent lighting. Those damned things did not exist until what, 60 years ago? How is it a pathology to  be averse to them.
