Eradicate autism and you eradicate many of our more intelligent members of society.

Autism is a side of the coin in human genetics, not a disease. It is a gift of our diversity that not all of us think the same way or conform. It gives us an evolutionary advantage even if it makes you seem at a disadvantage due to the rigid, cookie cutter expectations of the modern world. Autism has always been part of us, it just didn't become a "problem" until billionaires needed wage slaves that were efficient little drones who fell in line.
