Given that neanderthals and Denisovans had children with homosapiens I wonder how much of their DNA affects us, I had read that there might even be a chance we inherited autism from the Denisovans?
What do you all think?

I do entertain the idea, that if you have a neanderthal man who because of his biological differences would perhaps processes things differently like an autistic person perhaps, and when let's say the Neanderthal mates with a homosapien
The child would be a mix therfore a spectrum is created?
I am not saying this is the case but I would think further into it, to see if it could make sense enough to be a possibility.
What do you think Aidie.
i think that would be one of the biggest research projects of all time!
i recommend you read the following book written by the queen of autism Temple Grandin
she covers the genes involved in autism quite well. Also, her book is simple a good read and delivers a different attitude to autism
BTW I got it from my local library :)
ask your mum and dad if you have any Nearderthals in your family tree !
