How does it feel to be 400 in 10,000 everyone? Not quite the same as 1 in a million but we're pretty good

You know that you can reduce that down to one in twenty five.

Now obviously this is satire, but even so, 3.75% seems staggeringly low. Does their definition of neurotypical just mean "not diagnosed autism?" I feel like even in our satire, we should be a bit more progressive. Those with autism diagnoses are relatively low compared to those undiagnosed autistic people and other forms of neurodivergence. ADHD alone contributes another several percent.
