>When the article says "90% of autistic people", are they talking about people who can't take care of themselves, or people that don't know what to do with their hands when I see them in the hallway?
well, that's up to the clinician and diagnosing staff rather than the off-hand judgement of someone who watches them in the hallways I guess.
>people who compounded habits into atypical personality traits.
the thing is that some people don't do this when confronted with environments that would prompt the behavior in other people; that alone indicates a difference between the two groups; probably one worth investigating.
Essentially everyone in the modern world has a mobile phone, internet connection, access to lots of media, etc -- but not everyone is autistic. That's the whole interesting catch, right?

I was talking about ADHD not Autism here. I edited my original post to be more clear. I would agree that essentially everyone has a mobile phone, and the usual apps, and essentially everyone's attention span has gotten worse as a result. Do you think the median attention span has gotten better in the last 10 years?
