The genocide of people with autism. A part of eugenics.

The Autistic Genocide Clock was created by Autistic activist Meg Evans in 2005. It ​was a ten-year countdown in the image of a clock in response to researcher Dr. Joseph Buxbaum’s public pronouncement that genetic research on autism could lead to a prenatal genetic test within 10 years.

Autism will be eradicated if a gene is found as it will become an excuse for abortion, to eliminate the genotype from the gene pool.[1] Activists are concerned that the "ultimate cure will be a genetic test to prevent autistic children from being born" and that most fetuses with so-called "autism genes" would be aborted if prenatal tests for autism are developed.[2]

Bill Gates who has Asperger's, was subject of an NBC article from 2005 which discussed genetic testing.[3]
