Since the invention of the transistor in 1947, the high technology industry has created an exponential demand for workers who have traits such as extreme focus and who seek the safety of narrow interests. The same traits found in individuals who are on the autism spectrum. Through 70 years of the expanding technology sector, the epigenetic traits required for successful technology workers have been cultivated enabling them to thrive and pass on their genetics shifting a large sector of the human gene pool toward a predisposition to ASD. Historians refer to this era as the Age of Quantum Eugenics. Whatever environmental triggers have caused the cases of autism to go from 1-in-10,000 in 1950 to 1-in-5 in 2048 are really secondary to the genetic foundation.

“Given the unexplained autism epidemic and all the conjecture, maybe we should ask if a tipping point has been reached where mind-blindness is somehow being cultivated,” commented Boswell, director/writer of MindBlinders. “The idea of mankind adapting to technology or its culture has always troubled me, especially if the freedom of the human mind is being slowly bridled with some narrow mental framework. I find it ironic and disturbing the high technology industry has had more than a few luminaries in the eugenics camp starting with the co-inventor of the transistor, William Shockley. Then of course we now have Bill Gates who is now considered the poster boy for the mind blind”
