Cause of Aspergers

Post Reply New Topic

I was reading a odd but interesting theory about the origin of Vampires, that they were a sub-species of Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens homovorous) and that there brain was wired differently. Now I believe that theory is far fetched but not impossible but what got me interested the most was the Neurology part: Isolated but hyper effective brain regions giving them above average intelligence but a under connection of the Amygdala and Articulate cingulate cortex both parts control social functions and Empathy. I'm not saying we're vampires but the description of the "Vampire" brain functions could be found in Aspergers and other forms of High functioning Autism give me your two cents on that theory.

P.S Give me a civilized answer even if you don't believe it don't give me words like F**k or BS have a bit of decorum please

There's no such thing as vampires, so this whole subject sounds too strange.

If you're simply commenting about the established fact that autism involves a neurologic difference...

Well, yeah. Facts are facts.

Autistic brains are known to be wired differently from the womb.

But don't we all know that?

So why this thread?

How do they know what a vampires brain is like? Did they find some sort of vampire corpse and analyzed its brain? or were they just speculating as to what a vampire brain would be like?

But it does explain sensitivity to light!

Other than that I agree with you, and I was already convinced by the mating with dolphins theory anyway ( just kidding ).

Vlad Tepesh is stimming in his tomb?

This theory ,must be driving him bats!

No, sorry. I think it's far more likely that Father Christmas employs autistics in his workshops and this is where the legend of the toy making elves comes from.

Vampires really are fiction.

I prefer my own theory about the origin of vampire myths.

Its much simpler.

Its not some extinct race of humans, but normal humans who contracted rabies.

Both vampires, and warewolves, in mythology behave a lot like victims of rabies act in real life.

They get bitten by a wild animal (often a bat, or by dog, or wolf) and then they start acting like ferious animals themselves- and then try to bite other people- and if they do bit you- you get the same condition ( ie appear to become a ware creature or a vampire). So its easy to see how memories of past rabies epidemics spreading to human communities could my mythologized into vampire and warewolf legends among our unlettered ancestors who had no knowledge of microbial pathogens.

I like the theory that vampire myths are from rabies outbreaks.

I believe sensitivity to light is also a symptom of the virus.

What we have not discovered is why the OP believes that vampire neurology has been documented and, also if they feel that vampires and autistics are genetically related.
