What a horrible idea! It is unconscionable to even consider offering such a test when the cause or causes of autism have not been even partially established. Also, it is completely inaccurate that most autistics are low-functioning -- those are the ones everyone notices. The rest of us - the majority - are married, have satisfying jobs, and enjoy life. Don't believe Autism Speaks' propaganda.

The only possible good use of such a test would be to ensure that autistic couples are going to have an autistic child. I would be horrified if I ever had an NT child, and wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do with it. I would give it up for adoption to an NT couple who would want such a thing, I suppose.

Scar, don't have children regardless of the existence of a test. Don't even adopt. Anyone willing to murder someone else simply because they cannot comprehend another's way of thinking does not need to be passing on such fear and hatred.
