Read at https://time.com/6299599/autism-research-limited-essay/

Just as psychology research had its WEIRD (“western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic”) sampling bias, autism research has not only a WEIRD sampling bias, but also has essentially oversampled the same, narrow band of what are considered the easily “researchable autistics,” and expected those findings (as well as the applications and interventions that resulted from them) to apply to everyone.

"My own experience reveals a disheartening lack of progress in practical solutions for autistics like me in the past 2.5 decades, since my diagnosis as a toddler. Autism, now recognized as the fastest growing neurodevelopmental disability, stands at 1 in 36 children according to the CDC"
