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 don't need to apologize for others. People just want us to stop existing because we are a detriment to society to them simply because the majority of those with formal diagnoses do not work (this also conveniently ignores the reality of all the autistic individuals who are not diagnosed and are in work). This is a result of workerism and rightist individualism in our culture.

Almost all of the suffering we face is a result of society being designed in a way that's directly oppositional to our existence and experience, and yet we are seen as the "problem" to "fix". Because if it's society that needs fixing, then part of the prescription is to remove the positions of power that the ruling class uses, and that cannot happen as the ruling class must maintain authority. And they must have an ever growing labor force so they can use us to gain more wealth and power.
