Ironically very accurate for an en vogue theory of how autism occurs.
Babies are born with many more neural connections than most adults have. The learning process appears to include a "winnowing" process. OTOH, autistic individuals appear to have a larger number of neural connections, which suggests that they did in fact "not converge" (or not weed out excessive connections that distract from more productive decision-making).
