I'm diagnosed ASD as well and I strongly disagree with your statement as it stands. There are people who are profoundly impacted by autism. I _can_ go to a shopping center. I don't like it. I may have to hide in the bathrooms for a while a few times while visiting but I _can_ do it. But I know people who spend most of their lives in fear, because there is just so damn much going on around them all the time. Their senses are turned up to the point that the sound of their own breath is like a lion roaring. The splash of light across the curtains as a car turns into the street is like a lightning flash. Sounds, sights, flavours, smells, tactile sensations all turned up to 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. Often these kinds of people never learn to talk, or read. They end up living in homes (modern asylums) because they need constant care. And inside they're screaming in terror all the time. Sometimes they scream aloud. I believe these people deserve better. Helping prevent the development of severe disability is what I believe the article is talking about, not eugenics.
