Autism isnโ€™t โ€œcausedโ€ by paracetamol. Or vaccines. Or diets. Itโ€™s not something to prevent or cure. Itโ€™s a natural neurotype. An identity. Wild and tragic that it's 2025 and we're STILL having this debate

This feels especially relevant right now with the release of GPT-5 and the sudden disappearance of GPT-4oโ€™s more โ€˜companion-likeโ€™ personality. Autistic people (and others) are deeply affected when AI companionship shifts overnight. This raises urgent ethical questions
