That sure sounds like "everyone's a little autistic" which is absolutely not true.

That's... not how autism works. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder. Autistic nervous systems are literally wired differently than neurotypicals. "Turning out normal" as you call it is masking, which has been shown to be largely harmful for the mental health of autistic people.
