That was my concern too. Habits are invaluable for those with poor executive function, and that is a lot of people with ADHD, autism, and other neuroduvergence.

People who are hard of hearing don’t have good speech comprehension, but that doesn’t mean that not listening to your spouse will make you deaf.

I have not read these studies, so I don’t know how well they controlled for neurodiversity and identified correlation and causation. It seems like some pretty sweeping assumptions are being made here.
