We don't have time to write about it at length, but this is horrible news. Medical science has a very, very bad track record of not enacting eugenicst agendas as soon as the state of human knowledge makes them possible.https://www.sciencealert.com/over-2-000-newly-discovered-biological-markers-autism-develops-epigenetics-asd …

Oh, agreed. We know that autism is a disability for many people, including ourselves (despite it also being an immensely positive thing which we would never change about ourselves).

It's a curse and a blessing at the same time. I have a hard time remembering faces. But oh do I have a grasp on your abstract algebra! And I manage, I'm able to learn social interaction, it's doable. The killer news in your link is the insight into epigenetics, though.

We personally believe that outside support or the lack of it makes far more of a difference than any particular autistic trait or its intensity That is not to say that how the condition manifests doesn't affect that too, that there is no variation, or that everyone would agree

Someday maybe we'll tell the short version of our life story, but suffice to say we would not have been called "high functioning" ten years ago
