It looks like this article is talking about that exact preprint, but a quick skim didn't reveal any sort of link.
Ever since I first read it, I've been training myself to identify the subtypes. I don't have good names for them, nor do I know how they correspond to the names in the preprint, but I can usually tell them apart. I have indeed seen exactly four.
I would love for there to be more research into the intricacies of each subtype, because I feel that care and accommodation could get a lot more personalized and helpful if there were less of "anything goes / anything could happen" and more specialization to what's most likely to be effective for each particular subtype. As it is, a lot of care programs or individuals supporting them may be specialized to an unknown degree to particular subtypes and not really understand how to become less specialized or even specialize further.
On top of that, I greatly want to understand better the subtypes other than my own, not least because a couple of them I can find very difficult to communicate with because my knowledge and arguments are formatted differently than how they learn. I want to learn how to format my knowledge in a way that's easier for them to understand and more convincing for them.
I'm just very curious and interested and I really hope the idea of autistic subtypes takes off because it absolutely agrees with what I've seen in practice.
