Thank you for you reply.

I'd just like to clarify for other redditors that I wasn't implying progression in any direction. I don't really understand why my question got down voted so much, I was literally asking from a neutral perspective. I'd just seen people talk about it and didn't know where they were coming from so thought I'd ask an expert.

What do you think of the theory that autism is a different branch in human evolution compared with allistics? I have heard some people talk about this 'theory' but is there any research to back it up?

Edit: changed 'stage' to 'branch' because I think a lot of people reading have decided that I have some stance on this when I don't. I am asking an expert for clarification on something that I see talked about a lot by leypeople.
