neurospicy i like this word! 😀

(and i somehow do not dislike it that it takes me ages to choose a fitting emoji … every 🤔 single 🙄 time 😅)

Now this makes me look into it … 🤔 I appreciate you expressing your current state of being and full-of-thought-ness. No worries, not monstrous but human with some gravity. May your needs be fulfilled, wherever you are.

I’m not OP, and I learned about AS only through this community but didn’t investigate further (different continent). So I can only speculate: there’s a lot of revenue to be made from therapy and pharma if you find a new niche. A fundamentally wrong popular bias, reinforced by pouring massive money into advertising helps that a lot.

To me it also smacks a lot like a part of that post-humanism psy-op. Some (influential) people really want to have “Brave New World” become reality (or “Gattaca”?) – the “perfect” human machine; engineered and gated; divergence is a flaw. The rest goes happily with the narrative. There was someone posting their dismay about an interview with a person they previously liked, maybe already a year ago. The person in the interview was speaking of how autism should get removed from the gene pool …

Exactly, I wanted to see the Down-ish looking person is displayed but was too lazy to first look at the most obvious place, or recognise my ambiguity. Sorry to disturb.
And yes there are eugenicist agitators posing as experts. Makes it sort of mandatory to work against.

Can you give a link? Don’t mind, I found it out (it’s the AS website itself).

LOL I failed to recognise at first that it could also be interpreted as bacteria causing autism. It could also be that because of a characteristic genetic programming, intestine cells produce a compound which specific microorganisms thrive in. In such a case, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone also found such microbial indicators in saliva or on the skin.
