There is a link between low activities forms of the MAOA gene

the norms have already paid the price multiple times. it's why mass shootings exist.

>Boys diagnosed with autism and related disorders had, on average, raised levels of testosterone, cortisol and other hormones in the womb, according to analyses of amniotic fluid that was stored after their mothers had medical tests during pregnancy.

>"In the womb, boys produce about twice as much testosterone as girls, but compared with typical boys, the autism group has even higher levels. It's a significant difference and may have a large effect on brain development,"

autists are high test

The large majority of autism diagnoses are boys. These usually fall into 2 categories:

1) Kids who are mentally retarded, and wouldn't have been diagnosed with autism just 15 years ago

2) Normal boys who would have been considered healthy if they were born 200+ years ago and raised in a patriarchal society.

But because they were raised in a post-modern feminist liberal society, thrown into a feminist institution, don't have any strong patriarchal father figure, already are smart enough to hate society, and hate being under the authority of women, they can't deal with it, and develop many behavioral issues.

These behavioral issues aren't actually issues, it's just the result of strong boys being tortured in a feminist liberal institution/society.

Autism isn't a real disease, there is no physical test to prove if someone has autism, it is a wildly loose and arbitrary psychiatric label, and many normal boys that can't act like boys end up getting labeled with it, or some other fabricated psychiatric disease.

Accurate. Very Much So.

"autism" is an umbrella term applied to a range of perhaps 30 or more types of mental disorders; honestly IMO it is rather short-sighted of us if not inappropriate to lump in all of these various diseases as just "autism", or under a "spectrum" as a lazy catch-all. An asperger's kid is still likely able to actually function in society while some other people also called autistic turn out mostly invalid like Chris-chan, while others literally rock in corners, can't ever talk and smear their shit on the windows.

Maybe in a few years, or whenever physicians agree that it's time to specify things more carefully once we further characterize the mechanistic differences in the brain that produce the various effects, then things will probably be split up and defined more in terms of specific types of disease. We may look back on ourselves as kind of stupid for saying it's all the same thing, like how decades ago we had no clue how specific cancers actually are and many people were given an about-the-same battery of treatments for a huge range of cancers.

Given that there is a diverse range of possible disease mechanisms and also a diverse range of what happens to these people as an outcome, I can't say that we know what causes just "autism" overall, as no one really has a canonical autism anymore it seems. However, we do know that there in fact are some genetic anomalies in at least some types of people diagnosed as autistic, such as chromosomal inversions and various SNPs. I find the inversions interesting, as that could be a fairly solid answer as to what the fuck is going on - these people may have all the correct genes in working order, but their being placed where they're not supposed to be within a chromosome could result in the proteins either being silenced or over-expressed compared to non-autist brains.

bump for autism

Autist master race.
