No it doesn't say that, no autism isn't an illness as @kathryndeplume.com below says. Where are the science journalists who actually understand results sections? Covid infection is bad full-stop but this study does not show a link to autism. And it's also damaging to the autistic community.

I haven’t posted about my Enchroma glasses much lately, but I have to say that autumn is a *different season* with colorblind correction.

All those leaves are deep red & bright orange, not slightly different shades of brown.

I get it now. It’s very nice.
