We've recently learned how to use mind control. Just kidding, there are no real updates in something that doesn't change over time.
In terms of studies, the non-Autistics have found out that Autistics aren't bad at social interaction as a whole, we just speak a different social language. This means we can communicate just fine with each other, just not with people that aren't, and in fact, we communicate better amongst each other than non-Autistics.
