The above has just been reported on the Guardian newspaper website in relation to an Australian Journalist mocking Greta Thunburg about her "mental disorders" (she is on the spectrum)
--
"Daniel Skorich, an autism researcher at the University of Queensland, said Bolt’s description of autism was incorrect and was “dangerous in the message it sends about autistic people”.
“In contrast to Andrew Bolt’s derisory claims, what autism is not is a ‘disorder which intensify fears’, ‘a fault, and a dangerous one’, that makes autistic people ‘deeply disturbed’ and ‘irrational’, nor one that gives them ‘all that certainty that unreason can possibly give,’” Skorich said.
The condition was “characterised by difficulties in social interaction and communication”, he said.
But it also leads to “relative strengths in many areas, particularly in the arts, and in the natural sciences, where autistic people are over-represented relative to neurotypicals”, Skorich said."
