A groundbreaking study has reportedly discovered that the flying frogs from the ADOS assessment appear to autistic people before they die.

The study found that the frogs from the book Tuesday, used in the standard autism assessment, appear to autistic people in their final moments. In these visions, they seemingly explain the story, allowing autistics to pass to the other side finally at peace.

Professor Pippa Durham, who led the study, said: “Using the latest neuroimaging techniques, we’ve found that the frogs address the dying person directly, explaining just how the hell frogs can fly, what they’re actually feeling and thinking, and what had gone wrong in that man’s life to cause him to eat untoasted bread for dinner at 8pm.”

“Our findings raise all sorts of questions,” Dr. Durham continued. “Do the flying frogs ferry autistic people to the afterlife? Perhaps when autistic people die, their consciousness is transferred into one of the frogs, and they join an endless procession of souls through the night sky. We may never know.”

Study participant Olivia Buckingham, 19, said: “The frogs swore me to secrecy. I had to sign an NDA written on a lilypad.”
