Thank you for your thoughtful feedback I found it very interesting. So your opinion is that reward based learning is even less effective for the autistic population compared to the non-autistic population as there is no connection made between the learning and the reward? Can you explain your perspective of the spectrum to me that you describe at the end of your post? I'm not sure I complete understand this but I have just woken up, I will read it again later and see if it is clearer to me then!
