Mild autism can give you a genius like Einstein. If you have severe autism, you could remain nonverbal. You dont want people to be on the severe end of the spectrum. But if you got rid of all the autism genetics, you wouldnt have science or art. All you would have is a bunch of social yak yaks. – Temple Grandin
