ps autists will not skew the results, there are vastly more normal kids than autists, and even then only a subset of autists are into IT, making the results skew smaller. i guess you could call it cherry-picking, cuz youre picking from what is supposed to be a random set of people
Yeah, that is an unfortunate clash between scientific definition of “normal” ie: a statistical distribution which follows a normal curve, or a sample which has very high likelihood of being part of such a distribution.
I think this is also a part of the reason why many physicists use the word “Gaussian curve” rather than “normal curve” just to avoid ambiguity with the common word “normal”.
It ain’t real English either
but “exclusion” is, lol

I dont think you meant normal in a disparaging way towards autistic people, but I think the more appropriate word would be neurotypical
