I would say it’s because there’s not really anything harmful about autistic people’s brains, they’re just structured in a way that society isn’t built for. I wouldn’t say autistic people automatically have thoughts or behaviors that are unhealthy or disruptive to their lives as a whole, things mostly become a problem in an environmental that isn’t suitable.
Edit: I understand that autism can be disruptive and harmful in certain instances but it isn’t inherently that way. Some behaviors characterized as such are valid reactions to unsuitable conditions in their lives as opposed to simply being effects of the disorder. My point is that I don’t think being autistic should be viewed as a bad thing, it’s just the reality of their brain.
