If I'm not mistaken, this can already be detected before birth and the woman can have an abortion?

You're thinking of downsyndrome, trisomy ...somenumber. You can test for chromosomal abnormalities, but people with autism are often genetically normal. Just like someone with ADHD.

You're right. Thanks for the correction.

You're welcome. Now I should correct myself, and say "chomasomally" normal because that's what those tests look for
