It's deeply ironic but not at all surprising that the people who go on and on about emotional trauma and validation and all of these things (which I don't brush off entirely) are suddenly mum on the tears, tantrums, sullen looks etc that accompany discipline.
Get over it.

It's funny all these commentors who say the kids have high IQ too. IQ is "quotient", dpeending on age. An 8-year old with an IQ of 100 has a mental age of 8. A 20-year-old with the same score has a mental age of 8-- and an IQ of (I will guess) 75.

Argument in my vicinity? I remove myself. Somebody seems unnaturally morose? Ask them if they want to talk about it.

Or: my wife is pissed at me. Find out why and hash it out. Another man is being physically aggressive - make sure I'm not going to be cornered and act to back him down. What I don't do is become paralyzed with indecision about what they'll think of me.

I think you've narrowed the scope a lot by pointing to non-verbal autistic people as evidence of the broader phenomena. Presumably they're being misinterpreted for many different reasons that don't necessarily relate to autism.

Atheists like to say that Christians are like chickens who upset the chessboard in lieu of playing the game of debate. Who's the fool here - the mindless bird or the guy hosting a tournament in a chicken coop?
