It does not seem obvious to me that we should get rid of autism. I don’t know any studies that suggest that people with autism have a lower quality of life. Autism is a form of being different – neurodivergent. There may be disadvantages to being autistic, but there are likely advantages too. That is different from other more severe disorders that are genetic. (Is autism even genetic?)
Similarly, being LGBTQ+ is not a disadvantage in a sane society. In fact, being bisexual is an advantage I would argue. Regardless, it’s not genetic, so why even bring that up?
But there are genetic disorders nearly everyone agrees should be eradicated.
I’m not really sure it matters what you think when history has shown again and again that there are people more than willing to use technology like this for evil, racist, etc. ends.
