Then this gene edited children will again use gene editing to produce children with genes similar to theirs that are already known to not produce too many autistic conditions.

Who are those "guardians of the community" that are allowed to decide what technology community at large can have access to and what can't? You can argue for regulation preventing fraud: doctors hiding possible complications, editing different genes than what was advertised, etc. but you can't disallow people to decide with what genetic code they create their own children.
