AI models provide biased advice to autistic users, discouraging social interaction up to 70% of time

Virginia Tech research exposes how ChatGPT and other AI models rely on autism stereotypes when autistic users disclose their diagnosis. The study analyzed 345,000 responses across six major large language models and found AI discourages social interaction up to 70% of the time, recommending social avoidance in dating and events. Interviews with 11 autistic users revealed mixed reactions—some called it patronizing, while others found it validating.
