Specific neurons that secrete oxytocin in the brain are disrupted in a mouse model of autism, neuroscientists have found. Stimulating these neurons restored social behaviors in these mice. These findings could help to develop new ways to treat autism.

You sure none of the researches is autistic? Its not 0% chance, especially in academics.

[u/bigasssuperstar → u/Larein]

I haven't claimed none of the researchers is autistic.

[u/Larein → u/bigasssuperstar]

Yet you claim they have 100% flawed understanding of autism?

[u/bigasssuperstar → u/Larein]

I didn't claim that either. Are you replying to the right person?

[u/Larein → u/bigasssuperstar]

What they're judging as evidence and what they're hearing it say is also filtered through what they understand autistic people to be. So, if they say the evidence is 100% and it's only 100% because it fits their flawed understand of autistic people, that's a lot of money to advance a misunderstanding to a new level of proof.

Yes, what part of that are you curious about? It reads better with the words you removed.

You also said:

But I don't believe they understand human autism at the start of that chain.

But if there are autistic people researching this, they would have very first hand experience on autism. Yet you declare out of nowhere that they don't understand it. What do you base that?

[u/bigasssuperstar → u/Larein]

Because this research adheres strictly the pathology-deficit model advanced by psychiatry and the behaviourism industry. Do you see something different?

[u/Larein → u/bigasssuperstar]

Why would that be wrong?
