| I realized my preceding post is almost negating your experience of trauma, exclusion, blame, etc (trust me that was my own experience too, to what degree in comparison to you i don't knw, but it can't be ignored). I don't mean to ignore that bit. I got too side-tracked talking endlessly about my ki... |

| The first study only says that "it is plausible" that social factors have an effect on the development of executive function, it doesn't provide evidence to show a strong causal relationship. While it's far from a ridiculous theory you have provided poor evidence for it. The second study ... |

| I guess a way to test the super-being position would be to see how such people stack up against NTs who are matched for age/IQ/handedness /sex etc . Having a high IQ doesn't necessarily mean much. Marilyn vos Savant is said to have the highest IQ ever recorded of 228. But she's pretty much just an ... |

It has already been done in a few studies, including at least one I have used as a source as per your request. The results are strongly indicative of ... |

| @Your_Boy where did you come up with all this? I have seen a lot of what you have said before, so I am wondering where you found it. Although I know it's obviously out on the internet and I can probably pin it down just by searching 'autism next step in evolution'. Basically from my experience ther... |

| I cannot fully agree with you on the exclusion thing. That sounds like you've come up with a theory and idea and are fitting everything into it regardless of what the other person's actual experience and observation has been. (EDIT TO SAY I realized my phrasing of it made it sound the NTs were excl... |

| @Blooiejagwa @EzraS Not all autists are created equally. Just as some neurotypicals are sociopaths, histrionics & sadists, there do exist unhealthy autists. This is usually due to a genetic mutation. Since the neocortex is so advanced, the probability of configuring lt properly isn't very high.... |

| @EzraS Humans are a part of nature. Certain humans pushing society in the right direction is still the result of evolution. When Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, that was evolution. Society & intellect are both results of evolution. Things are more complex now than millennia ago. An individual ... |

| In a purely autistic world would there have been the collaboration that would have lead to the gradual advancement of society ? It seems to me that both ND and NT bring assets and deficits . The debate shouldn't be about how much one is better than the other. The debate should be how to maximise th... |

| @Kraftiekortie Yup, that's the one. Ah, to be alive in the 1970's. I used to put 1979 as My birth year on websites when I was young. I'd love to be a preteen during the 1990's. I only got five years out of them. But I also love the 1970's, very underrated decade. I'd love to go back to disco, early... |

| @EzraS It was conceived & created in 1979, but released in 1980. So lt's technically 70's, but I wouldn't be able to use lt untill the 1980's. It connected to the ARPANET at this time anyway, so lt would make more sense to use that. |

| Nope. I’m actually more of a fan of the 70s. Atari was around about ‘78-79....but it didn’t proliferate until ‘79. The old-time arcade video games remained popular until the mid 80s. Then games in the home predominated. VCRs didn’t enter the mainstream until ‘82 or so. Betamax was the thing in the ... |

| @EzraS I love lt. Not quite as much as 1960's music, which is unmatched, but boy does lt come close. I love disco. I don't care what anyone says, disco rules. Old school hip-hop has a certain charm, but lt's hard to get into when lt's from before 1984. Plus, hard to find. New wave is cool, like Cars... |
