It says that autism is hereditary and therefore does run in families.

Oh, wow.

A majority, around 80% of autism cases can be linked to inherited genetic mutations.

That's crazy.

But it says, too, like a lot of them have difficulties understanding social cues, which you don't.

But some people do.

Maybe that's why people that don't know normal social cues just irk you to the core.

to the fullest like we had this friend okay so we had this friend you guys like that would never leave the house like when we were younger and so like he would come over and stuff and be there like all day and then finally it gets it's like nine o'clock at night i'm like i'm gonna go take a shower you know and i would say it out loud and then i'd get out of the shower and he's still sitting on the couch and tyler he's like social cues i said it is night night there are crickets going on i said i'm gonna take a shower i guess

So I wonder if that's why it irks you so much too, but people don't get that.

But it's interesting, too, because I remember even, like, with it, them saying that it can be hereditary, that it is hereditary, actually.

That's what it says.

Is I remember when Beta, like, just Beta being even little, like, baby little.

And, like, I don't know.

Nova just did things.

And I know every kid is different.

That's what I always told myself.

But, like...

nova was just like just like how kind of how rye is like talking using word like just crazy words and veda and i remember i used to always check because they say like some autistic kids won't um like listen to their names and they when their baby is they don't give you smiles and she would do all those things so then i would like second guess myself and be like no there's not

But with it being a spectrum, it's like I remember when we used to say, like, why isn't she talking?

I mean, she didn't talk until she was like four.
