I am autistic and have ADHD and I still prefer having been born to the alternative thank you very much!
Comparing the intentional breeding of universaly harmful traits in dogs to taking a slightly higher risk of ASD which is rarely harmful is quite a stretch.
Without autistic people many great things wouldn't exist today. I would argue that without the special interests and hyperfocus of neurodiverse people a lot of scientce and engineering wouldn't have happened or at least a lot later.
While ASD and ADHD are often percieved as harmful, they are rarely only harmful and often bring special talent or at least a unique perspective.

Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.

The only thing that surprises me is that anyone is surprised by this. If you buy a physical book from anywhere, you own it. If you "buy" the rigth to play a movie (or read a book) from amazon, you own nothing. Usually they don't show that so clearly but that's the reality.
