I believe they're right about neurodiversity overall but that doesn't make a case for preventing gene editing so these people can better function in our society. If you think about it, surely out of the counless gene variations possible in sexual reproduction some of them will most definitely be bad and even fatal. In fact this happens all the time. The fact is that society is naturally tuned toward the average case and straying far in either direction usually causes a bad quality of life. Humans have a tendency to mark everything as good or bad. Beautiful or ugly, smart or stupid. In reality everything is on a statistical distribution and for most traits you want to be in the middle. We shouldn't be breeding humans to live 20 years or 200, as a social species it's largely better to just correct the large outliers, even if it means losing our "geniuses"
