Wow, this is amazingly well written. I have a disability (but not autism) and can't help but be like... well, yeah, unquestionably correct.
I would go out on a fairly safe limb and say that this problem generalizes to most disabilities pretty well. Even in the way that I use the word "disability" there with the same caution and intent of the author, it's more complicated than that. But also in some ways more general I suspect.
