| The title of the post is a little different to your general question: 1. ASD is associated with brain inflammation in many cases. Inflammation is a biological marker that something is wrong 2. Yes Aspies are influenced by the past trauma. Even when you think you have escaped it the trauma will come... |

| The word r***** as an insult only gets used on non ID people. An analogy would be a mean girl that calls another girl a tramp because she didn’t make a lot of effort with her appearance. She doesn’t really think she’s living on the streets just used as an insult. In reality real ID people and those... |

| The word r***** as an insult only gets used on non ID people. For example a driver deliberately goes through a red light and nearly causes an accident. The other drivers get angry and shout out f***ing r***** They don’t actually think when they say that that the driver is actually ID just that he’s ... |

| An IQ below 70 is known as Intellectual Disability. IQ tests for ID are not applicable rather it’s assessed on a set of bands from severe to mild. The bands are based on life skills like can you go out and buy a loaf of bread, can you be left alone for a period of time. Can you deal with basic money... |

| This debate desperately wanting a word to mean something else which it is not reminds me of vegans who say meat is murder. The legal definition of Murder is the unlawful killing of another human but they so desperately want it to be attached to slaughtering and eating animals for food. Gene medicine... |

| The world is a chaotic place so you need executive function to deal with multiple things at once and prioritise tasks. Most NT do this without thinking but some autistic people find it difficult. In the IT world I think it’s known as multithreading where a CPU runs lots of different things at once G... |

ASD is diagnosed on behaviours
there is a similarity between Asperger’s and Autism that made it too difficult to separate, since functioning levels can be spikey
However there is little biological evidence that they are even the same condition |

| On a side note its interesting that the author of the website refers to the condition as just SYNGAP1 rather than autism. I've mentioned this before where in the future the condition will be likely broken up into various genetic conditions and be simply referred to by the impacted gene. That may or ... |

| There’s also the dark eugenics of sterilising adults to prevent them from having children because they have something you don’t want to see in the population. It has nothing to do with medicine, treating or curing anyone. Since eugenics is about avoiding such a thing in the first place. While that ... |
