Where Do You Want Autism Funding To Go?

Also money should stop going to finding genetic causes of autism. It is clear that there is no evidence of a genetic component to autism. They have looked and looked a genetic test only finds a cause for autism in 14% of autistic people. I don’t know why they keep looking for a genetic cause when there is none. They could spend that money developing better services.

80%, not 14%

sorry it’s 5-14% that study you cited just estimated it was 80%. An estimate is not the same as a fact.

another scientific paper saying there is “insufficient evidence” for autism specific genes.

but it is mostly genetic. The majority of scientists agree on that now. Twin studies have demonstrated this quite effectivly. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/.../

If it is not genetic, then it is environmental. We all know that it's not environmental, unless there is something very, very strange in our environment. Maybe the microplastics pollution? That would explain a lot of things.

Those words are not synonyms, neurodivergent is an identity. We are not defective!

1. that paper says in it's own introduction most of the papers they have looked at disagree with their interpritation.
2. they talk about 'rare variants of large effect size' but modern consensus is that autism is caused by lots of difrent variant genes working together each of which may not have a big effect on its own.

lol yes, like the X-men, but with 85% of them too damaged to hold a job as kitchen porter or cleaning lady. There is nothing funnier than an high functioning ASD with a degree and a job in the Uni claiming that ASD is not a disability. Those people need to understand that they are the top 0.5% of ASD.
