“Towards a Behavior of Reciprocity” by Morton Ann Gernsbacher.  Not captioned as far as I can tell.  It mostly goes through a bunch of studies showing the best way to “improve autistic social skills” is to train nonautistic people to behave reciprocally (with give and take) to autistic people.  And how weird this is given that “lack of social and emotional reciprocity” is a criterion for autism, not for nonautistic people – yet it’s the nonautistic people who lack reciprocity when it comes to autistic people, and autistic people show plenty of reciprocity if we’re shown it first.
