Yet more evidence that we shouldn't be handing over sensitive data to random companies. Will this change anyone's behaviour? Sadly, probably not.
I struggle to see what someone could do with that information. My ethnicity is already known by the government and every advertiser collecting my information online. I randomly had my identity connected to my cousin's before any family took DNA tests. Her name would show up in those questionnaires along with what car I've owned and where I've lived when I had to go through online government stuff.
I'm relatively paranoid about giving out personal information, but I don't consider my spit very sensitive.
There is a lot of job discrimination in hiring of autistic people, especially when it's hard to fire them.
Many places actively profile for it and consider symptoms to be red flags since they can't explicitly ask. This is why making it hard to fire people hurts the disadvantaged.
