I wonder if people with the genes for autism are more likely to drink diet sodas. Drinking diet coke appears unusually popular amongst my autistic friends.

>>cjbgka+(OP)
diet coke has 25% or so more caffeine according to some comment on this thread, and I personally see my neurodiverse friends consuming more caffeine than neurotypical ones (esp in non-tea/coffee ways). think monster, mate (sparkling drink, not tea), caffeine pills etc.

that's be my guess why, assuming there's any correlation whatsoever.
