“Often when people react to new information about autism they end up accidentally correctly pointing out evidence of autism as opposed to evidence of its absence. They end up like someone throwing up their arms in frustration and saying, ‘Oh! So I suppose this means everyone at the Trainspotters’ Guild could be autistic? Next, you’ll be telling me that all my shy friends in the university maths department are autistic too!’ My friend, the odds are good.” — Pierre Novellie
