>>2517599>I genuinely don’t understand the people pearl clutching about there being research to find if there is an autism gene.If they found it it would be good so they could fix it. I don't find aborting any fetus for any reason to be bad personally, it could be the healthiest looking fetus and if the mother doesn't want it then off it should go.
Though I don't really believe there is such a thing as the autism gene. The label is now super inclusive and convoluted. I'm not at all convinced autism is just one thing, I think there's a whole group of genes, conditions and disorders that have been grouped together and are now called autism. That's why someone could have autism in that they're socially retarded but not have a single of the other issues (like sensory issues), while another person could have every autism symptom on earth
except the social deficit and thus not be considered an autist. It's been branded as a "spectrum" because they failed to narrow it down to one thing. It's possible they potentially could locate AN autistic gene, which would presumably be the most obvious retard kind of gene and that's still a good start though.
I think most angry people are fakers tbh. If there's suddenly a way to prove someone is or isn't an autist genetically that ruins their whole autist identity they've formed. I'm one of those who are still unsure my diagnosis is even accurate, and I would be delighted if it turned out I'm not an autist after all. I'd still have my issues but the cause would be different and thus there could potentially be different treatments and help for it.
