    I hope i don’t make the paper sad by saying this but the numbers are kinda off. (Or i misunderstand)

    The only real difference is for below age 24. Then its pretty much the same if not less prevalent for autists.

    They point to some other factors about the types of questions that indicate that the differences are underestimated but evidently that didn’t translate in hard numbers.

      I think you are misreading this. The age sections at the top are just a demographic breakdown of the two groups. Note rhat all the different percentages for age sum to 100. The results are just the bottom section of your screenshot (“anthromorphic questionnaire”). Does seem to be statistically significant.

      By 24 we learn that people find it weird and stop doing it
