As someone with a close family member who is autistic, I am always bothered by the phrase "if you have met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism". Autism as a diagnostic classification is so broad that the non verbal are lumped in with those with rigidity behavior, when at least to me they seem like they should just have a different diagnosis. This is not just playing semantics if they're able to correlate against specific sets of genes. This work seems highly relevant, IMO
