The rate of Autism among people 10 years ago was approximately 1 in 10,000
Today, the ratio is somewhere around 1 in 150 Now, there is the distinct possibility that there is some over diagnosing going on. But where does that leave us in 2070? One may say gene therapy and technology can eliminate all ails of humanity, but in the have - have not dichotomy of Shadowrun, that is probably not an option for most. Has this been addressed by game designers, or considered for created characters and NPCs? Not trying to be offensive - but this is interesting because I live with someone who works with children who are on the autism spectrum. |
