Did we inherited autism through the Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes?

There is a New Scientist article that suggests the exact opposite, that neurological divergences like autism, and mental illnesses like schizophrenia, were not found in archaic humans, such as Neanderthals.  See it here: Why we get autism but our Neanderthal cousins didn't | New Scientist

This might indicate that we are very human indeed.

I don't wanna be human!

I don't wanna be human!

I want to be me, odd strange, slightly left of centre me. Someone who attracts other autists when I sit on a bus, and feel happy when they confide in me that they are autistic, when I knew from the moment they got in. I don't want to be associated too much with 'normals' 'Neurotips' or whatever they call themselves. I feel that comes from my Neanderthal genes, I don't like the possibility that normal people are the neanderthals and that I am just johnny come lately Homosaps. However I would be then having a stronger connection to Africans and I wouldn't mind that.

what do you want to be ?

In the words of Ray Davies of The Kinks:

"I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life
Like a good homo sapiens
But all around me
Everybody's multiplying
And they're walking round like flies, man
So I'm no better than the animals
Sitting in the cages in the zoo, man
'Cause compared to the flowers
And the birds and the trees
I am an apeman."
