JW are hardly a secluded society. They are a cult group that is proactive in proselytisation. My concern is the blinkered mindset that many JW have where they discourage the study and research of secular materials apart from that required for a school education or in connection with a trade. That way their members are likely to be behind the curve when it comes to ASD unless they recruit new members who have knowledge of ASD.
The 'social skills' training adds a new dimension to the picture that doesn't exist with most other religions.
JW don't push children hard with education. They tell them to do their best at school but rarely do they strive for A grades, especially in 'hard' subjects. JW also seem to be more towards the arts and cultural things rather than STEM subjects.
