>>11387853My uncle is a "high functioning autist" if you really believe that's a thing, and I don't want to disclose the exact work he does, it's probably something you use every day, and he's really valuable to his company. But like I said, he's amazing at this one thing because it's all he thinks about. He also does a lot of really weird shit for a grown man and will never, ever know the joy of having children as he would be totally incapable of taking care of them. Sci falls for autism propaganda, there is no breeding of autistics because it's brain damage, those kids would need to be exposed to the same sort of environmental conditions as any other autists in their family as it's probably a genetic predisposition but it doesn't mean you will get it, and then hope the brain handles it in just the right way to become some mind reading savant who cries when their pudding cup lids aren't completely removed.
I think we also over diagnose people, I know brain scans of autistic people show damage from something like encephalitis, and there was that one study that found huge amounts of intracellular aluminum in every single brain sample. People come in and complain of being picky with food and social anxiety maybe they stutter their words and a doctor says congrats you're on the spectrum. It's just like when we medicated all those children because these boys are rambunctious they must have ADHD. Literally anyone can get diagnosed with something, I remember in high school this girl I knew thought Michael Cera was so awkward and cool and she started mimicking him and within a year she was taking anti anxiety medication and was just a piece of shit stuttering hipster when she was never like that before. Some weird victim culture I have no idea I'm just telling you what I see. It's autism propaganda. We spend hundreds of billions and in 10 years I bet it'll be more than the national budget. These kids are hitting their heads against walls and shitting themselves
