Yep. All it would take for autistic population to be decimated would be a prenatal genetic test for autism. It has already happened with Downs Syndrome. Few parents with access to first-world medical care will choose to carry autistic babies to term, so few or no autistics would be born.
Well this depends entirely on how the testing works, but yeah your completely right.
I mean to be perfectly honest I wont have kids if I cant garantee my kid wont be non verbal.
Anyhow the technology is already on its way. 23 and me, is already giving cheap genetic testing to the masses, give a few more years, and they will be screening for genetic defects.
