This would be another reason why abortion is a bad thing no?

Do people know when thier child is in the womb that autism is present? Have babies been murdered because people thought that they would be autistic or does it not show up until sometime after the after birth?

I like the idea of abc giving people a reason why they should not have abortions.

And I love the idea of a sentient being suddenly being revealed to those who have been so close and never , never, never knew.

Great for computers and new writers who will share with us whole new undisclosed worlds of human experience.

Strictly addressing your point - no, there is no objective, physical test for autism. A real sharp observer might pick it up when a baby is 6 months or a year, but it becomes really clear at 1.5 to 2 (to 3) years. Maybe later they will find a physical marker for it, but not yet, and certaily not before a baby is born...
