Human cells in a rat's brain could shed light on autism and ADHD

A prerequisite to calling a neurodiverse person ill or the affliction a disorder is that either the person or their fellow humans have to suffer. If you don't suffer from your diversity, you don't have a disorder.
I have a chronic illness (depression) which prevents me from functioning normally.

My own religion
It means I act differently in certain situations than other persons. I used to suffer because I thought I was wrong and did something wrong. I didn't, but to some people how I act, it is wrong and is a disorder and I still suffer in the sense that I am from time to time get discriminated against, because I act differently.
Now for the actually suffering it causes to me, it is mild, because I have found ways to cope with that.
And yes, I have made acts I wouldn't do now, but that is a part of being a human.
So a "disorder" is how I act, how I cope, what it causes in me and how other people acts towards me.
As for you, I won't tell you what to do, because that I am not capable of doing that.

This sounds awesome. If only science would experiment with a zombie virus for hyper intelligent rats, that would be an apocalyptic vision to behold.

I don't know, from what I dimly understand, autism seems like brain asymmetry, schizophrenia seems like a chemical imbalance. I'm way more interested in what the causes are. I find it highly eyebrow raising, if it's true that researchers can't determine whether autism stems from a heredity factor, or an environmental factor. Or a combination? Or if it was always there naturally, but became more 'detectable,' when culture changed into stressing more efficiency/money chasing, and 'functionality,' which seems like are things that happened.
Because after all, not all these people behave badly to the point where something is obviously detectable, where intervention should occur. I think the vast majority are likely on the calmer side, but might fail to reach the very high productivity standards (which are culturally subjective) that a modern high-tech society wants

Well, that's better than my brain replacing the last bit of you title and reading instead these human cells in a rat brain could be the next thing to play Doom on.
