For our US colleagues, The Spectator is a very conservative/right wing
weekly news magazine, so clearly it will 'wrap' any science findings
which appear to confirm its prejudices in a broader message about e.g.
the inevitability of gender differences.
But I am interested in the challenge to the underlying Baron-Cohen
research made by list contributors, and would like some more information
here. Are people denying that autism has an organic basis? Are they
disputing whether autism is an impairment? Or (and) are they suggesting
that it is not a deviation from the average human neurological state?
I would be grateful for clarification.
