it is not retardation at all. Lesser pruning of pyramidal cell connectivity means a change in the way we process information - we stay in a state of massive parallelization of data input, which can make 'non truth' data inputs (like most neurotypical speech) agonising as it is cross linked with sensory data.
Most autists go relatively unnoticed. It is only retarded autists who become 'visible', causing a sampling error in NT's perception of autism as a whole.
I'm literally the smartest person you'll ever meet, and I'm autistic.
The trend started enough years ago to have petered out by now. A bunch of people wanted to be seen as geniuses and came to believe autistic meant very smart so they called themselves autistic when they were no such thing. They got it from very bad tv shows.
old school 4 chan "autists" were using it as word meaning the smart guys who had zero social skills. It doesn't mean autistic and was never meant to.
