Autism doesn't override all DNA and inherited social behaviors, just a few of them. Yes, the environment can play a part also, but the idea that people only want to get married and/or have children is because of social conditioning really doesn't hold up to most scientific findings.

Plenty of people come from really bad home environments, with parents who divorced or had dysfunctional marriages, and most end up partnering up or getting married and having children anyways


Then what is the real cause?

Besides evolutionary psychology dictating that people produce children?

This explains the desire for children but what about the "marriage" part?

Why do people decide to get MARRIED?


EDIT: I know that love, the wedding ceremony & honeymoon vacation all MUST play a role...

But conditioning starting from childhood helps create the marriage desire because companies like Disney send the message about "Prince Charming" and paint romantic relationships as fun & perfect fairy-tales!! !
