If you would like to know the point of the research before you answer the questions, read on now. The researcher has observed that many characteristics of autism are left out of the clinical picture with its emphasis on impairment and dysfunction. She believes that these traits may have been more adaptive in an environment without domestication, surplus and trade. The idea of autism as a disease is debatable. If autism is not inherently dysfunctional but part of the natural variety in the human gene pool then its genes should be treasured, not excised.
