The book also explains the wider phenomena associated with the autistic spectrum such as the microbiome and gut health, autoimmune challenges, synaesthesia, facial blindness, alexithymia, stimming, LGBTQ preferences, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), perceived higher prevalence of males, higher prevalence of autism if conceived in the winter months and various others.
