Also, I really fail to see what apart the desire to see other people suffer like you suffered would motive you to try to stop people from discovering and trying to limit the prevalence of the gene causing autism.

Because frankly I'm not suffering that much, and there is a school of thought among certain people that they are basically trying to commit genocide against us.

Tsch, OP. Sociopaths have emotion. It's just that emotional responses are almost exclusively self-focused. You mean a lack of "affective empathy".
Are these "human rights" in the room with us right now?

Yeah. that. They act like total assholes/uncaring towards anything that doesn't affect them.

I'm not certain how far a person can train themselves to actually feel emotion with regards to the situation of other people if it doesn't come naturally. Sure, one can observe and imitate the appropriate responses, but can "acting as if" make the person actually develop the base feelings? Are they still bad people if they learn how to fake? Bit of a tangent, sure, but as someone with quite dampened empathetic capabilities I find it an interesting question.
