Based on what I've read lately, my consensus perspective is that 80% of what people consider autism is actually just the western diet's effect on normal brain chemistry.

This is a remarkably stupid comment. I’m not going to go into detail refuting it, but you might want to read more about autism in children or just think before you type.

		You should also think before you call people stupid. If you google autism test, you'll find this: https://www.clinical-partners.co.uk/for-adults/autism-and-as... "I prefer to do things on my own, rather than with others." "I prefer doing things the same way - for instance my morning routine or trip to the supermarket" "I find myself becoming strongly absorbed in something – even obsessional" These are all questions everybody living in a modern society can relate to. Of course autism is a real condition, but modern society somewhat requires people to be machine like and that can easily look like someone is on the spectrum.
