We actually know quite a bit, it’s just not been popularized enough in the media for it to be common knowledge (I by no means want this to come off as an attack on you.) For context I am about to graduate with my degree in neuroscience. We know the brain is made up of neurons, and the input center of each neuron are called the dendrites. On these dendrites, we have synapses which are sites where neurons communicate with each other. At birth, we have a ton of these and the “normal” development

This has been a talking point for a long time even for adhd

Involves pruning of these synapses. In autism, there is some sort of mutation that results in a lack of synaptic pruning, so to way over simplify what is occurring they are basically receiving too much information in their brain about their surroundings at all times.

Also vaccines do NOT cause autism. Whoever did that study was found to have fabricated all their data and it was overturned by the science community. Unfortunately the damage was already done in the mainstream by that point, however.

(Hello also senior neuroscience) The question of a “true origin” for ASD is a very complicated one because there is no one true picture of the condition. Patterns of hyperconnectivity are a potential etiology for sensory issues, but that only accounts for a very small portion of a mosaic of traits that make up ASD. Other differences in brain structure are scattered across dozens of different structures that are regulated independently of each other, suggesting many different loci of control.

As someone who has a sibling with severe autism I can definitely say that he may be healthy, but he is disadvantaged in almost every way compared to everyone else and it’s cruel to have to live that way. Not all cases are as severe as my brothers, but having a child with a disability is just that, a disability, not normal and usually not compatible with a normal lifestyle.

I’m not disagreeing with that. A close friend of mine has a sister with autism so severe she’ll never be able to live without a care taker. But I don’t think we should be spreading the stigma about autism by saying they’re not healthy like you did.

You’re probably still in that bulletproof phase of your life, but everybody has medical shit going on. Just a matter of time till it springs up, back pain, psoriasis, eczema, autoimmune disorders, endometriosis, the list goes on and on. Are there things we can genetically nudge, sure, but large form eugenics leaves society weaker to diseases and more susceptible to plagues. A little differentiation is a good thing, but too much and it becomes debilitating.

guys i think hes saying if you KNOW you will have a fucked up kid, then dont try and have kids. If they will require a caretaker their whole life, then #42 is suggesting to just not bother with having a kid. And tbh, i agree with that. Why are you having a kid knowing they will have problems? Or especially when mothers drink and smoke during pregnancy.

Anonymous #69 6w

I think there’s a wild difference between actively endangering your child during pregnancy and having a kid knowing they’ll have sensitive skin. Nobody wins the genetic lottery. Also as I said before, often times you don’t know about the complications till it’s too late to do much about it.

According to the CDC, only 26.7% of people with ASD have “profound autism”, which is probably what you’re referring to when you mention those with intellectual disabilities. So very high support needs autism would be the exception, not the other way around. It’s a very common misconception!

the ada can only so so much, people like you who do nothing but spread misinformation exist and society, even with the ada, is not made for anyone with a disability or a condition outside of whats "normal". autistic people can do better in society if society stops being such a dick to anyone who is different.

If that’s the case then educating people on genetics and allowing them to make an informed decision is enough. Letting the government create regulation on who can reproduce is a recipe for disaster. Where will they draw the line? What will they categorize as pathology?

ok, phrasing the ADA as society being forced to allow us to exist is actually insane. Disabled people have a right to exist, including people that develop disabilities later in life. Your way of talking is very small. We aren’t ruining your life I promise.
