I love that..
A benevolence of autists
An exactitude of autists
An idiosyncrasy of autists

With so many autists being hurt by loud noises then maybe a whisper of autists would reflect how we stand up to shout out for our rights with consideration to the autists (virtually) around us.
Oh I like some of those.
A glaring of cats. Perfect!

A murmuration has got me thinking how much this covers?
I notice that there are quite a few options for the collective nouns depending on the part of the world you are in so some are quite different to our perceived norms.
I found the following
A glaring of catsA rhumba of rattlesnakesAn army of caterpillarsA nest of rhumours (not actually an animal admittedly)A gang of elksA family of sardinesA huddle of walrusesA bed of clamsA shiver of sharksA Crash of RhinocerosesA Horde of HamstersA Kindle of Kittensa roll of armadillos a candle of anteatersa congregation of alligatorsa sleuth of bearsa flutter of butterfliesa train of camelsa coalition of cheetahsa cast of crabsa congregation of crocodilesa cry of dogs (hounds)
If you want to read the variations it may take some time:

Ohhh!
I like that, it's interesting
A Kindred of Autists..
An Army of Autists/Autistics
It can be owls and Rooks as well, I did google it, everyday is a learning day.
An equilibrium of autistics.
I thought it was owls!
You’re welcome
I stand corrected. Thanks Roy.
A parliament is Magpies.
Wonderful !
Debbie, I've always thought it's 'A parliament of crows' , but I do rather like your offering.
Before I log off my PC (where I mostly type due to eyesight issues) I thought I'd post this here for inspiration.
I love the collective nouns for birds + actually have an illustrated book of them.
