   This is not a complicated issue, and Ro is a smart person.

   You apologize for a car accident or for accidentally bumping somebody, because those things are accidents. They are actions that are in some way negligent, while also being unintentional.

   Tics are not voluntary. Tics are not negligent. Tics are a 100% involuntary aspect of a certain type of neurology.

   It is not okay to demand that a disabled person apologize for their neurotype.

   The IWT authors speculate that autistic kids may develop in a more balanced way in an environment that avoids sensory extremes/shocks that may overwhelm their hyper reactive neurology.

   It doesn't suggest neglecting kids or sensory deprivation as Remington fears, but, during early learning, introducing new things cautiously looking for signs of distress i.e learning at the child's pace rather than forcing them to cope with what the average child usually likes.
