No. People with autism do not do well in society in general and people with severe autism cannot even function on their own
The reason autistics don't function well in society is because society is dictated and designed for irrational, animalistic neurotypicals. In a society that actually had any logical order or made any fucking sense at all, we will function much better. We don't function well because we are surrounded by pathological liars who demand nonstop validation and play stupid social games. You only think you are superior because, so far, you've lived a privileged existence in a society that caters to and glorifies all of your worst traits. Enjoy it while it lasts, simians.
Face it. You're the fucking Planet of the Apes, and your hairy monkey asses are about to be enslaved and civilized by a dominant, superior species. Your arrogance will be your downfall.

Hmmmm, I'm going to check out this article when I'm more awake. I just wonder if they distinguish high functioning autism and Asperger's, which is considered to be on the spectrum. The ones I've met are amazing and with some assistance can learn social skills to overcome their tendency to isolate themselves. Plus I agree society sucks at accepting anyone with any kind of disability- visible or invisible. I have bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder, with the capability of being functional and "normal" for years at a time. Then every few years I have a complete meltdown from forcing myself to appear this way for work all day, and then I have nothing left in my soul for enjoying life on my own time. Everyone is always like wtf? It doesn't matter how close they are to me or how long they've known me. My best friend has AIDS, and even his eyes glaze over if I ever try to discuss how painful it is emotionally. It's like I lose in the disability competition.
Fuck "social skills" and "fitting in". That happy horseshit will soon be a memory, consigned to the dumpster of history, and good riddance.
You know how neurotypicals currently get away with constantly, childishly
demanding eye contact from autistics? In the new society, you won't be making any demands of anybody, monkey. And if you dare to raise your eyes to ours, there will be consequences.
And I am gonna get to work building our new civilization, right after I
figure out why my phone keeps double-posting....
