I am in the middle between two nt siblings. Autism is about genetics, not birth order. I suggest you do some research on genetics my friend.
And my theory is that the birth order
might show an unusual distribution of autism. If we just stick to conventional knowledge and accept it as Gospel, how can science ever expand? And NEVER assume you KNOW how genetics works. Remember it wasn't until the 1950's that the geometric shape of DNA was posited and proven. Should we have stuck to Mendel? Science will never KNOW anything 100%, just get closer and closer, with an occasional revolution that makes everything before look ridiculous and clumsy. Aristotle - Newton - Einstein - ring a bell?
My point is that having autistics born in the earlier parts of birth order within families, this may prove that autism has an evolutionarily beneficial role on the survival of mankind, just like depression has been recently assumed to be a survival benefit by causing deep analysis and dwelling on problems, perhaps first generated during the Ice Age by being sad over not having stored enough food in the cave for the winter???
