Is Neurodiversity Possibly Evolution?

I've seen lots of videos by people who think autism may be evolution to humanity. 

I think neurodiversity instead of autism is possibly evolution to humanity. As times going by more and more people are been diagnosed with a neurological difference, neurological differences are increasing. 

I were taught the only genes that survive are genes we require, since all these genes are increasing we are requiring them even more. 

Do you think some point in the future all humans will have a neurodivergent condition making neurodiversity part of evolution?

  • I completely agree, I also feel I'm not living to my full potential just I don't have the motivation. Ive always felt I don't belong. I'm 36 and recently been diagnosed but i did well academically with an IQ of 132. I do sense a lot more than NTs and read people intentions well which makes up for the lack of social skills and difficulties I have. But I don't have the same desire or requirement for friendship. I'm happy being on my own, gives me less anxiety and overthinking. I do have a gift for understanding technology and just know how things work without being taught. Can't explain it. I also have a really good immune system like never been ill since I was a child. Never had COVID or the jab. I like to think I'm part of evolution like new code it always has bug but always gets improved. I think of autism as new code. There are version 1.0 out there but so are versions 2 and beyond.
