So are you saying by conditioning people to falsely believe they have the 'tism, it muddies the waters for the normies to believe what actual autistics are?
Yeah that would make sense to me. You could call it overdiagnosis, and eliminate any schizo aspect of it, but I think there is something deeper at play, particularly when you consider how conditioned normies are to say "you need therapy", how quickly they are to suggest that someone needs to be reprogrammed to fit better in the society.
And also - how they redefined autism, where it started from non-verbal children who bang their head on the walls, and certainly have some sort of a disorder that prevents them from living a good life - to the autistic "spectrum", where pretty much anyone could find themselves a spot and start thinking there is something wrong with them.
Another reason why I am taking a bit of a schizo angle on it is just looking at zoomers and alphas and considering how they reject the some elements of the society, and how this is considered crazy and sign of autism and being a misfit - but when you think about it, they might be actually much smarter and wise than older generation. And that is very inconvenient for the society, autists are less prone to believe propaganda, or to buy useless crap just because someone on TV told them they need to have it.
E.g. zoomers hatred of answering phones or participating in whole office culture - where they prefer to work from home and interact less with people, especially strangers. They get a lot of heat because of it, but looking at what boomers were like - slaving away for the employer, ruining their families and friendships and creativity, just to make more money and fit in the society better - who's the crazy one? What about recruitment in military - who is more insane, a boomer/gen X signing their literal away for a fictional entity of the government? Or a zoomer that recognizes their life is not worth being wasted on causing harm to other nations and the planet?
Could it be that young autists develop traits like hypersensitivity to stimuli, or difficulties in socializing, because they are subconsciously trying to protect themselves from fitting into the society that can only harm them and squash their humanity and natural curiosity?
