I tend to go with my conscience and my logic over my emotions.

My eyes are a strong blue. I'd post a photo if I wasn't so technologically illiterate.

Brown eyes here, but I'm African-American, so that's to be expected (your question really only makes sense for people of European ancestry). I am more logical than emotional (meltdowns excluded).

Crystal blue eyes, here.

I tend to be both logical and conscientious and much to the confusion of those who say I should not have it, I have LOADS of empathy, an over load, really....too much.

Magnus of the crystal clear blue eyes, do you have the ability to think logically?

I think that has more to do with where you come from. If you come from Norway or Sweden, there is a high likelyhood that you have blue eyes. I you come from Nigeria, the likelyhood is probably zero.

YEAH, a lot of companies WILL suffer, just like in 2000 and 1987.


Iceland is a country.


What does that have to do with anything? I was talking about BANKS in iceland. HECK, we spoke about moving to iceland, and I spoke about the language and population, so it is clear I knew it is a country. Besides, a company probably won't bail out the three largest banks in its country.

Now you just appear ridiculous.

What you might want to look into is corn. Thats something that Europeans have not had lengthly exposure to. Not much longer than the founding of America and really only pervasive in the last few decades.

Corn products are used everywhere. You'll find corn starch, corn syrup and corn meal in just about everything. French fries? You know those battered ones? Corn in the batter. Milkshakes? Thickened with corn starch. Same with gravy. Corn syrup is very common in anything with sugars.

I wouldnt be surprised if some of the yellow food dyes came from it either.


Interesting about the corn. Of course, now we'll be ingesting less of it and inhaling more of it, in the form of ethanol emissions.

EDIT: I realized this after I wrote this. My dad (the classic oddball, hard-to-get-along-with BAP if not full on Aspergers' old man) moved us to Florida from Indiana because he thought he was GOING TO DIE of some mystery disease and my mom wanted to be a widow near her family....he moved and was fine. His hands and feet stopped breaking out into blisters and he could breathe again. But when he went back to visit, same thing:
His suspicion was that he developed - or had an inborn sensitivity to - you guessed it - corn.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there. People can have sensitivities to corn, wheat, milk, protein (e.g. P.K.U.) or, like my fiance, the drying agent they use for Garlic and Onion powder.

What there HAS been is a rise in is the manipulation of food product. Processing, storage, and now genetic modification. Even looking at the label, it's hard to know what you're getting. The US FDA can list Monosodium glutamate as "natual flavor".

I'd be interested in studies of autism in, say, Amish populations.

Very solid points. I'm also interested in the Amish population studies as well.

2Ukenkerl, you bring up a good point about diet. The only thing that is acknowledged by the medical industry as having some affect on autistic people is the gluten and casein. But, people have been eating dairy and wheat since America was founded. Why is it just now starting to affect people?

I don't know about why dairy is starting to affect people, maybe having to do with genetic alteration as well, but I can definitely say with the gluten, that our wheat has been genetically altered to 'get more out of it.' With that said, bread these days contains 95% more gluten than it did before the alteration. (I suppose the bread holds together better now :lol: but that's not terribly feasible for someone who has an intolerance to it. :shrug:)

My eyes used to be a dark sapphire blue as a baby/young kid.

Image

Around the time I was 8, they changed to be more grayish. These days, they are a dark hybrid of bluish grayish greenish. They are banded in a way, that the outer rims are blue, the middle is gray, and the center is green-hazel.

And here's a closeup.

I can for the most part think without letting my emotions cloud my judgment but the are times when I rely on my heart to come to a decision and I know when to use it. It's for the matters of the heart. But any other time, there is no "gut feeling," just pure logic and deduction.

Same here.

As for ancestry? I'm 7 different things. German, Irish, Cherokee, French, English, Dutch, and Scottish. Not sure the percentage of the amount of European decent by country, but the Cherokee I know is at least 1/8th from my mom's side, and I have more from my dad's side (not sure of the amount).

As for other family members in the spectrum, my mom had an aunt who she thought was autistic, and I have a cousin who seems to be AS but her mom won't get it checked out. I mean, come on, the girl is struggling in school year after year, there's something that's not right. :roll: Why females in my family seem to be the affected, I don't know. There is nobody within my immediate family I am born from who is affected though.

Trait-wise, I don't know if it's related, but I'm the overall recessive kid. I got the recessive toes (where the 2nd toe is shorter than my big toe), the recessive facial features (not my dad's ski-slope nose), I'm about 3 shades lighter than everyone else in my family because I take after my maternal grandfather. And everyone else in my immediate family (both my parents and my three sisters) all have brown hair and brown eyes. I get my blonde hair from the same grandpa, but the eyes I think are a mix between mostly the same german-dutch grandpa (who had blue-gray eyes) and my maternal grandmother (half cherokee half irish) who had green eyes.

The "suspected to be AS" cousin, she at the moment has blue-gray eyes, but I don't know if any of that is related, her dad has blue eyes, and her mom and half-brother have brown, although I have 2 NT (well, born NT, one got brain injury from a serious accident) brother-in-laws. One has green eyes and the other has bright blue eyes. The green-eyed one's kid, that niece's eyes are turning to hazel. The blue-eyed one, I have a niece and a nephew from. They both have his blue eyes, and they are 8 and 6. All three of these kids are NTs.

Now, I do have a birthdaughter who is on the spectrum with autism (not sure the extent of it right now, she's going to be 4 in december, but I do communicate with her family and have visits, phone calls, and we email pictures). Her birthfather/my boyfriend, I'm not so sure if he's completely NT, because he has some ocd and stuff, but doesn't necessarily seem aspie (I've been with this guy for 7 years). He has the most stunning green eyes, as most of his family (minus a few cousins, a grandparent, and his brother), all have these green eyes. The other aforementioned people in his family who do not have these green eyes have dark brown eyes. They are mostly german with some english and irish thrown in there. He does have a lot of recessive traits too, i.e. connected earlobes and such.

Thanks for the pictures, very interesting eyes. Recessive traits seem to dominate in aspies. Beautiful eyes you have and an angelic face to match.

MusicforAnna, I didn't know that about gluten. I'll look it up. I did learn about high fructose corn syrup from this thread. Scary interesting...[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc378nD75hg[/youtube]

also forgot to mention. My birthdaughter has blue-grayish eyes so far, and has a lot of my recessive traits. (but I suppose, if you mix two recessive-traited people together, you'll get more recessive traits :lol:)

Hazel eyes, light yellow-brown in the center and yellow-green outer rings, and light brown/dark blond hair. Yeah, my eyes and hair are pretty much the same color. (Everyone else in my family has either dark or blue eyes. :?) I'm usually much more logical than emotional, but when that balance is disturbed I act crazy. I don't think physical traits like those have anything to do with innate personality traits.


Some of your hair s GREEN!?!?!?!? 8O You better get that checked! :lol:

My mother thinks it's chlorine from the shower. It's only a light hint of green now that I haven't gone swimming for a while. :lol:
