Topic: Researchers establish link between autism and stupidity.

Despite their important implications for interpersonal behaviors and relations, cognitive abilities have been largely ignored as explanations of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs).
We proposed and tested mediation models in which lower cognitive ability predicts greater autistic behavior, an effect mediated through the endorsement of cartoons (animu, Sonic The Hedgehog) and low levels of contact with in-groups.
In an analysis of two large-scale, nationally representative United Kingdom data sets (N = 15,874), we found that lower general intelligence (g) in childhood predicts greater autism in adulthood, and this effect was largely mediated via obsessive behavior.
A secondary analysis of a U.S. data set confirmed a predictive effect of poor abstract-reasoning skills on psychotic fucktardism, a relation partially mediated by both autism and low levels of intergroup contact. All analyses controlled for education and socioeconomic status.
Our results suggest that cognitive abilities play a critical, albeit underappreciated, role in autism. Consequently, we recommend a heightened focus on cognitive ability in research on autism and a better integration of cognitive ability into ASD diagnostic models.

Neurotypical hate speech. The ACLU and wrongplanet have been contacted and are suing the APA for this.

Nice find-and-replace copypasta of the biased prejudice-cognitive abilities study.Even the Jews acknowledge that their psychometric testing means bullshit on autists, the original proto-Aryan race.

@272,220 (B)Rightfully so. As the leading case attorney on this case, I've been heavily involved in the research for it, and the formal complaint will be filed shortly.
Ciao, The Lawyer.
