Stating that autism is a servere handicap is attacking those with autism how? Claiming that being autistic has a stong correlation to genius just shows how ignorant you are on the condition.

Actually the issue is that you have yet to provide any evidence for your claim whatsoever. His evidence hasn't been used to refute your evidence, it's been used to refute your baseless statement. 

Why are you unable to click on the references which link to peer-reviewed papers and check them out yourself? You can't alter those papers so what is the issue? 
Again with the insults...You mention simplicity yet you can't follow a hyperlink to a peer-reviewed paper...

Autism correlated with genius:

I trust that resolves the matter. Educate yourself.

Wikipedia isn't credible for reasons I've cited. (Editable by anyone, not exclusive to author(s)). End of.

Not referenced.
LOL

Also:
"It suggests that as many as 30% of autistic people have some sort of savant-like capability in areas such as calculation or music"

So basically at least 70% of all people with autism are just handicapped...Being mistaken for being autistic is hardly calling someone a genuis as you implied. 

The authors can't alter the peer-reviewed papers they are linking to therefore your point is completely flawed as you are acting as if every article is incorrectly referenced. Why not take it on a case-by-case basis?
