Initially I was all but I don’t want to be social. Then I was oh that’s what their talking about. I feel I am social enough though. And all science should be repeated for vapidity.

Just like with autistic humans, you flood them with valproic acid while they are gestating.

Basically, drug manufacturers decided that autism is the same thing as chemically lobotomizing and physically deforming the subject in utero, because chemically lobotomized mice are less social.
I wish I was making this up, but I’m not.

Translated: If we give flood mice with valproic acid in utero, they develop brain lesions, which makes them kind of retarded (they literally use mental retardation as a ‘common symptom’ of autism in the paper) and bad at socializing, therefore that’s basically the same as autism.
To apply this directly to humans, when an adult autism diagnosis requires something like a year or two of continuous meeting with a PhD psychologist, is completely bonkers.
Given that the core ‘chemical imbalance’ model that was the theoretical underpinning for the development of SSRIs has been shown to be at best, wildly incorrect, and at worst, totally bunk, I’d say this study is horseshit.
Sounds like this study, and other studies using VPA-induced “ASD” in animal models, are straight up dangerous and could lead to negative consequences for the neurodivergent community due to wrong results.
This is just eugenics by another name.
Equating ASD people to brain damaged lab rats sounds a lot like eugenics, yeah.
