50 yrs before it becomes irreversable damage
not necessarily, our planet has the amazing ability to heal, and the ozone layer can be repaired with missles or by the natural process of more oxygen converted into O3.
Plus, whos to say this isnt just a phase of the worlds ever changing enviornment, or even our sun. There have been a noticible rise in temperatures on the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and Jupiter.
Autism isnt really related to inability, usually autistic people are great workers and very dedicated to what they do(if they have a job) some are even mathematical geniuses. The thing is they have a malfunction in the frontal lobe that disables their ability to link actions and objects with true personal meaning making it very hard to function in real society.
I watched a video in which an autistic person had a job as a bycicle repairs men, and he had the output of 2-3 employees. He also loved biking and every day would ride dozens of miles to see local architecture. However he didnt find a meaning to the arhitecture, he would come there, look at it, and then ride home. But, he did feel that seeing the world makes you fit in so he made entire alphabatized lists of places he had to visit each day.
However, when encountered with something new in his repairs he did have to have everything shown all over again, but learned quickly.
But there are different types of autism so you can never be certain.
