Are autistics part Neanderthal?
No more so than non-autistics. Nearly everyone who is descended from European stock may have as much as 4% of their genome in common with Neanderthal Man.
If a person's Neanderthal ancestry makes them autistic, then every single European alive today would have autism.
I thought Neanderthal was a different species of man that died out and that we evolved from Hominids? As for autism, I think anything can cause it even men over the age of 30 if I'm right and my dad was over 30. Not real sure. Besides my mom being 30 years old, a heavy smoker and drinker when she had my twin brother and I, there were 3 other brothers.
Here is the definition I found about Hominids:
member of primate family including humans
a primate belonging to a family of which the modern human being is the only species still in existence. Family: Hominidae
