People are autistic, they don’t have autism. Person first wording please. And neurodivergence is very common in human populations and there is nothing wrong with it. Society needs to learn to embrace it.

The “cause” of autism is not yet known. There are genes under study but none have been proven yet . This article misleads.

The article is talking specifically about the type of autism that this one kid has, not autism in general. He has a “missing copy of the MYT1L gene believed to cause one out of every 10,000 to 50,000 autism cases.”
