| I am curious about what motivates you, MoonCanvas. Would you mind explaining how you believe you are motivated to do things? Post here, for instance? This question does tie directly to what you are saying about yourself here. I have no life, am emotionally disturbed, and only continue living so I c... |

| What need is there to love one's family when you have logic and reasoning? If you would chose logic over love, you're a psychopath. (And I mean this seriously - that's one of the hallmarks of how psychopaths think.) Oh, thank you. I think it's the reason I was thought to be autistic by my therapist... |

| 6)Discarding instincts for logic is not a good idea for either individual or species survival. Instinct and logic are in balance and are likely to stay in balance unless we start tinkering with our DNA to somehow actively alter that. Luckily there is a large body of scientific knowledge about the n... |

| Are you kidding me? So brain scans are absolutely worthless. At this point I don't even see the point in using the term NT because I bet there's also no perfect chemistry for NT brains. We are a century away from efficient neurological diagnostics, simply cause even if we invent them, we'll still h... |

| My brother with severe autism has been brain-scanned and the result was that his brain is absolutely perfect, without even the most little speckle. They didn't find anything weird. I was never brain-scanned, so I don't know about myself. Are you kidding me? So brain scans are absolutely worthless. ... |

| It depends on the person. There are many anomalies that are statistically more frequent in autism, but none are 100%. And some autistics appear to have completely normal brains on a brain scan, yet behaviorally test as clearly being on the spectrum. It's possible the autistics that appear to have n... |

| So you could not scientifically disprove ASD so you accepted it and decided it was scientifically superior? False. I think it holds evolutionary advantages and is therefore not a disorder. Whether or not someone has a disorder depends on their needs, not just in fitting the criteria. My rejection o... |

| Larger brains don't correlate to higher intelligence. No one really has a firm correlation. There are correlations with parts of the brain and certain cognitive functions, but "bigger brain = smarter" is not a valid conclusion. Also, humanity isn't going to become autistic as a whole unless somethi... |

| What reality do you think having a larger brain entails? And who is supposed to wake up to this reality? It can have many things. The people who's large brains are unstable will die out, while those who's large brains can be used on a practical basis should thrive. We're already seeing it, autistic... |

| I would point out that Fnord marked his thought as speculation. You did not, and appeared to present your ideas as proven facts. Your descriptions of what autism supposedly really is didn't really line up with existing descriptions of autism. I am not saying that is not what you really meant. I am ... |
