I never said furries were autistic. But it has been proven that real life cats all have autism. Look it up. Define "proven". Googling it mostly only brings up either forum talk about cats doing annoying things that their owners jokingly call autistic or it pulls up articles about people with autism using cats for therapy.

In fact, one of the few things I could find that's on topic is disproving what you say. This book called "All Cats Have Aspergers" by Kathy Hoopmann is the only reason why this subject even became a topic on the internet, doing just a quick search about Kathy Hoopmann, it is said that she grew up as a farm girl who became a primary school teacher and then a Theologist, that doesn't translate to her being an expert on Aspergers or any other disorder. Most of her books seem to be children's books with a comedic theme. She has books called "All Birds Have Anxiety" and "All Dogs Have ADHD". There are a lot of dogs that are the opposite of what you would expect to see if they have ADHD, dogs who are lazy and do nothing all day. Reading the short descriptions of those books makes it seem like they are only meant to raise similarities between people with autism and the animals as a means of making it easy for people to understand the characteristics linked to autism. This is the method often used by primary teachers when teaching children, they use easy to understand analogies between real life things and subjects that children would appreciate, like animals.

Is this the "scientific evidence"? I am sorry to say but since you are wrong on everything, there is now nothing linking Khajiit to Autism. You just correlated two different things that really have no connection, exactly like what Kathy Hoopmann did with her Cats and Autism themed book.
