I’m offended on behalf of autistic people that anyone considered this. Conspiracy nutters are largely disaffected and searching for an explanation for why they’re unhappy that frees them from responsibility.
Thank 4chan, they're the ones that call anything neurodivergent autistic.
Consider as in check it out for thoroughness--no. It's fine.
Consider as in think/suspect--yeah. Yes.
I had a very similar reaction honestly. There is value in the study so that we can say “no”. I do feel like there was extreme bias in the design of it though.
It was worth checking out. I would have been curious.
