Article above is paywalled. This seems to be word for word the sane but isn’t paywalled (maybe):

Anyway. Quite impressive if true. So far this seems to have an effect on mice. But humans aren’t mice. We shall see if anything comes from this.

It’s really not cool, man.

I don’t see why not. Or is this an animal rights thing?

No, they mean that Autism shouldn’t be cured, which is a common Gen Z take because they see all nuerodivergence as positive and innately of value.

Blame DSM-5 for making the definition of autistic spectrum so broad as to be meaningless.
Tiktokers ran with it and basically defined every exaggerated personality trait as "autism’. Now everyone is autistic.

Oh that…
Yeah, I’ve seen that take before. Usually done by people who consider themselves “allies” or have a very mild and none disruptive autism.

I would happily make my “special neurodivergence” go away with a shot. And mine is trivial compared to autism.
Fuck anyone with the attitude you describe.
