Can austistics have paranormal abilities?

And the earth is flat.

THIS.

Seriously people what's with magical thinking? Science! It works. Use it.

I feel like I am repeating myself but I think it is quite clear this is a connection between living things so it obviously has a scientific basis for there to be types of life energy. Be that electromagnetic in some way or of a form we can't detect. It is present.

I think of it much as many other discoveries, like say, radio waves.

Even though we were unable to detect them a few hundred years ago they were still there. It's not like they suddenly just appeared when we learned how to make antennas and radios...

I think we simply don't know enough to discount it. Maybe we never will.

Definitely!! !

Whereas some of you do not believe in paranormal activity, it is interesting to note that the U.S. government has officially declared the Whaley House and the Winchester Mystery House in California, among several other locations, as genuinely haunted. After numerous scientific investigations, no logical explanations can be found to account for the unexplained activities that go on at these sites.

By the way Fluke the Feyords in Norway are beautiful! I went to see some with my Dad near Oslo when I was younger.

Believing in the paranormal is more akin to believing the earth is flat than the other way around. A step away from science is a step down.

They sure are

Btw, not to be picky or mean, the spelling is "fjord", plural "fjords", but phonetically you're spot on

I try to keep an open mind on paranormal matters. Interesting to note is that at one time a specific eerie phenomena once seen by people in the past was considered to be "ghostly," and probably not genuine by scientists. However, the phenomena was later acknowledged as genuine---it was ball lightning. It is now known to be a real thing, though not entirely understood.

I adhere to the possibility that ghosts could be a "recording" of images/ sounds onto some "as yet to be identified" matter in the air. Under certain circumstances the "recording" would be replayed. It's just a theory.

But science can neither prove or disprove it?

I just think it would be impossible to say anything absolute, since there isn't definite proof either way.

There certainly are things in this world we do not understand, at this time. Science might give an explanation to some of those things, in the future, and some might still elude us.

I'm probably shooting myself (and my points) in the foot by saying that I believe in some things that would be considered paranormal though..

What is "Science" nowadays, people once thought was magic. Who's to say this kind of magic won't become science in the future? ;D

I think it's more like "not normal" rather than "not perfect". Different, not lesser. The theory in this thread (if I could call it a "theory"?) is that since we're wired differently, we perceive things that NT's wouldn't; "paranormal" stuff, we would see/feel as a result, while others wouldn't.

Got you! What is the name of the really famous one that is a cliff overlooking the Fjord which almost broke off in the 90s?

Everything from the drive there, to the walk up and the view at the end was amazing.

I have the ability to damage or destroy everything I touch.

It's simple, this discussion. Some of us are closed minded and think that science as we know it is proves it can't exist and think that new discoveries WITH science can't happen. Which is why I used to flat earth thing. And some of us are open minded and can accept that there might be something we have yet to discover which with the current science we have is very difficult to prove. And then, there's crazy people who come up with all sorts of baloney. Hence why we come to the word "paranormal". But none of us here are that.

I have to agree. While there are many things we don't know and don't understand, beliefs that are akin to fairy tales are very unlikely to turn out to be correct explanations for the mysteries we don't yet know about the universe.
