This is "Autism is a superpower" in a new font It's classified the way it is because it makes functioning in our day to day lives much more difficult. Obviously variations come through evolution. That doesn't change the fact that autism disables us.

That is part of it. Even if society were built for us, though, there are still parts of autism that would disable us.
