Also circumcision.
Autism seems to be a sort of "prenatal PTSD" caused by stress in the mother. Basically the nervous system is stuck in a "shut-down" state so the person can't naturally sense emotional cues (or feel the full experience of their own body), and they adapt by intellectualizing everything. Being that it happens so early in life they miss out on learning about these things in the first place, hence why they're socially awkward.
I have noticed that many autistic people I knew reduced life to a "formula",
and stick to habits and routines to stay "safe".
But this is deeply unhealthy.
Spontaneous, random , playful behaviour is much healthier.
