Autism is not classified as a disease.

But that wasn't the point. The argument was autism is not a disease because it is genetic.

This is an incorrect argument, regardless of whether autism is classified as a disease or not, the cause is not relevant.

It's not classified as a disease it's classified as a disorder and if you'd like to see a really good explanation look elsewhere in this thread

Like I said, I wasn't arguing whether disease or disorder is correct, but rather saying that a genetic cause is absolutely not the defining factor between disease and disorder.

But it seems you refuse to read what I actually wrote and prefer to argue something else entirely.
