If that's the clinical standard, why didn't the cited paper use it that way? From the research paper:

> autistic employees

The peer reviewed research paper uses this standard. Only using "with" in reference to diagnoses.

It is "Science Daily", a news site, who skirts the standard by changing the paper's wording.
