Considering that one of the key plot points is "autism as superpower" i.e. that autism is the next stage of human evolution.
Somehow I doubt the director has ever spent time around people with actual autism. You can laugh on the internet about it (e.g. Chris-chan), but for every high-functioning case there are many cases where the condition is completely debilitating.
I guess everything else around the movie sort of tempered that, but I'm surprised certain circles aren't up in arms about it. Maybe they feel like it makes them look good, as it is a frequent self-diagnosed identity with them.
