As far as I understand, the predictive processing theory of the brain could imply that autism is just a too strong weight on observation which overrules priors easily. But if that is true, why doesn’t insight meditation (where one very closely observes individual sensations) make one more autistic? After all, I would expect neural pathways responsible for paying attention to sensory information would be strengthened.
