> As long as you define "ability to go to bathroom and pay taxes" as profound autism, that's true

Yes. That's literally the meaning of profound - has trouble with common functioning. Your position seems to be that a group - profound autistic people - that is defined by it's functional ability is being mischaracterised as having low functional ability. Mine is that that is literally what profoundly autistic' means.

> No one else is going to advocate or look out for autistic people, so we have to do it ourselves, and if that means people think we are overreacting so be it.

Likewise, which is why I support efforts to investigate the causes of something that is currently very ill defined. I do have resevations about RFK, it reminds me of working at Google where people find research to support their pre-drawn conclusions. But conspiracy theories about death camps are not one of my concerns.
