I found this quote by Geschwind, which certainly implies he considers autistic people 'sub-human':
What window should he use to look at this debate? Well, since NICE guidelines exist to improve the care of patients and patients are the ones...
To me, this consensus statement shows an attitude of care and compassion towards PWME. This brings into stark contrast what is currently happening...
