Every year the percentage of people born with autism is increasing, in fact the ascending line has not stopped in the last twenty years and the lack of knowledge about the reason that causes this syndrome is still mysterious.

Over the years it has come to be labeled in many ways, special condition, syndrome, disorder and according to the individual's abilities it is currently classified as type 1, 2 or 3, the number being what until recently were called Asperger's.

The world is becoming more and more autistic and technology has managed to integrate many to coexistence, since the problem of ASD is synthesized in three areas, socialization, empathy and communication.

The global village of the future is not made up of hugs but of long-distance friendships, instead of handshakes there are video calls, the meeting point is a screen and cyber-love is becoming more and more frequent, so it will not be long before there are virtual marriages, where everyone lives at home, in the part of the world where they reside..

With each passing year the personal approach becomes less relevant and the new generation inventions are aimed at automating the human being, making him/her dependent on them.

The current pandemic would seem to be a fertile field to demonstrate that the conditions of ASD are the most suitable, since social distancing has caused people to become accustomed to sharing from afar.

Conspiracy theorists claim that life on earth was sown by extraterrestrial beings and that these are responsible for the great advances of man in all fields of science and it cannot be ignored that the one who revolutionized physics with his theories was someone with Asperger's condition, Albert Einstein and it could be a coincidence but reviewing great geniuses we find many similar ones within the autistic spectrum.

.

In the dystopian saga that was fashionable a few years ago, whose title is Divergent, flirts with the fact that there are different beings with special conditions and these meet the standards of the TEA, as happens in The Hunger Games and Maze Runner..

It has always been pointed out that autistic people live in their own world and that this world lacks the feelings as strong as the so-called neurotypical beings, since their emotions are processed more slowly and this isolates them from the immediate consequences they produce, there is a whole debate about the veracity of these issues..

The truth is that if there is no way to stop the trend, the world will be populated with more and more autistic people, because there is a genetic load that produces a high probability that the offspring of those who suffer from this condition will be born with it..

And there are no racial conditions for this to happen, there are autistic Americans, Japanese, Chinese, Africans, Australians, which leads to the doubt that without noticing it, the human being is evolving towards a less empathic future where technology is the spearhead where humanity rests..
