    And yet there’s people whose autism is severely debilitating…

    I’m certainly not saying autism makes you stupid but people diagnosed with it have a huge range of intelligence so it’s unfair to say it “makes you smarter” IMO. There’s no proof of causation even if it often does correlate

      Oh I probably forgot to mention that the mentioned disorders don’t always correlate (very good word for it btw) but in many cases (2/3 I’d say) they do. It also depends on the exact condition as some do not have such effect. And I don’t have proof of causation either. They’re related but idk what causes what. However for the purpose of meme creation it’s enough.

        I need you to realize that the numbers you’re pulling out of your ass have no basis in reality. Nothing you’re saying has a basis in reality. Your gut feelings aren’t facts.
