Remember when science moved at a snail's pace? The ethical questions we'll have to consider...

The problem is that there isn't just autistic and non autistic.
There's a million shades of grey in between.

I thought no one really knew what causes autism?

Working in IT :-D

Actually, that's not cause, but it's known that the children of people who work in IT are more likely to be autistic.

The other thing my wife has picked up over the years with various training courses she's done on the subject,mis that everyone is autistic to a degree. Some more than others.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that eugenics is alive and well. Something else to worry about.
