"the average persons hatred of autistic or nerdy people"
This is a wildly inaccurate picture of the average person. I don't even think this is true of 10% of people.

Probably enough for 90% of such folks to be tormented quite effectively during childhood.
This is a great point. If a small percentage of the population is openly and aggressively negative towards another part of the population, it makes sense that they would both artificially appear as if they are a larger part of the population, to each other. I think it goes both ways.
Anyone who's a bit different has a high chance of having been bullied at some point. It doesn't mean that society hates this specific group of people.
I _highly_ doubt 90% of nerdy people were tormented during childhood. Have you spent time in/around academia? These people are massive nerds and horrendous childhood torment is pretty rare.
It was 100% in my personal experience.

Our son was specifically chosen to be in his 4th Grade class because it spent part of the day hosting the spectrum kids within their "regular" class. He was chosen for that honor because of his kindness.
He has been taught to love others since he was born, and the Path of Love has borne fruit for all those around all four of us.
All the people who say it can't be done have never tried consciously evolving with Divine help.
