I used to try and study and research the reasons as to why anybody could possibly come to seemingly absurd beliefs, but at this point in time, nothing about so-called reality really surprises me now. Everything exists as far as I'm concerned, regardless of how seemingly absurd,

That seems to be the difference between you and I: you accept everything and I accept nothing as fact. All I know is that I know nothing, so I go with the next best thing: what I can observe. My beliefs are always subject to change, but I prefer not knowing to jumping to impossible to test conclusions. Is this the best approach? Maybe not, but it's the reason that we know enough about how the world works to create all the technology we have around us.

and I even include time-travel into that mix (evidence does exist for time slowing down for particles that have been accelerated to light-speed so don't dismiss it outright).

The way I remember it being explained (forgot the specific source but it was either from a science-book or from a now-deceased doctor/scientist with whom I've had past conversations), was that a particle-accelerator would be used, and it was found that the accelerated particles had a longer half-life (they did not decay at the same rate and were still active even after deceleration) than the non-accelerated particles (they decayed at a normal time-frame).

Physics research has not ruled out time travel either.

Various people also seem to be out there who've studied astronomy and remember that Earth was taught to be located on the Orion-Belt in relation to the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy; Now they are finding that Earth is depicted to be located on the Saggitarius-Belt according to the current Astronomy. Anomalies everywhere.

You and I both know that the mass media is not always the best source for information. Just because a few people depict the Sol system in the wrong belt doesn't mean that there is some conspiracy.

You shouldn't let those sorts of people get to you, he's there purely just to stir up trouble.
Maybe if he got to know somebody with autism he'd change his mind.

Why do you care about what "Some idiot on youtube" says?

If he is a narcissist, he is craving attention. Do not feed the troll.

Yeah, but I'd like to be allowed to pick my own legendary creature for my autism.

In all seriousness, who cares what some dude on YouTube thinks?

My sister {of all people} thinks Autism has always been an experimental government program. She has always believed this since I was diagnosed with AS at the age of 13.


Well...we all know that autism is the result of secret CIA experiments in the 1940's to create a human-dolphin hybrid in the 1940's! That's why always wear a hat in public (to cover up the blow hole on the top of my head).

Is yours made of canvas or aluminium foil?

The hat, not the blowhole.

I thought ASD was a communist plot to give lazy people an excuse to avoid work and scrounge benefits.

^ That too.

Well...if it's on U-Tube then it MUST be true!

Like the fact the sun is only the same size a Wal-Mart and moves around in a big circle about the flat disk shaped Earth.

Autism is just a commie plot.

Wow, that guy is a massive a**hole. Definitely some serious self-absorption issues going on there. His so-called "explanation" didn't make any sense. We already know that autism originates from different places in different people; many genes in the human genome (that's "GEE-nome", not "ge-NOME" Mr. "Genius") have been identified as contributing to autism. He doesn't understand that autism isn't a physical thing like an identifiable anomaly in the brain; it's a syndrome, meaning a cluster of symptoms which present together consistently and repeatedly over a wide array of individuals. Autism is an effect, it isn't a cause. People like him are the sort I wish I could reach through my computer screen and smack over the head repeatedly.
