How do you know it has different causes, when the causes of autism have not been enumerated?
> Why this crap is considered to be a respectable science?
I'm glad you don't get to decide. Maybe this will turn out not to have any impact in humans, but why not let the research play out - that's science.

Not a cosplayer, but actual high IQ individual who suffered a lot as a child in some social shithole. Almost like in popular movies. Another reason is that I have studied some literature available and psychology in general. I could see other people with similar symptoms, I could see their parents and could identify who is the carrier, etc. Current consensus, especially in the context of today's SJW madness, is disconnected from reality and what is. Autism is clearly genetic, it runs in families for generations, it usually carried by pretty women and it is more common in rural areas all over the world. These are obvious, easily testable facts, embedded into cultures. Now who are you to fuking lecture me?
