It seems a lot of Autistic folks have shaped our world, maybe the stigma of autism is that normal people are scared of the evolutions next step.
We are not better than normal people, we are just different and that scares them, I know there is a spectrum where some people can cope better than others.
Its information overload which can be difficult to decipher.
I have recently self diagnosed with Autism, I think its caused by a gene mutation in DAT1 which is over expressed as a dopamine reuptake channel. This means that dopamine, is sucked out of its receptor site before it can do its job, so this leads to anxiety for no reason and studies have shown anxiety affects memory.
So anxiety causes a cloudy head and difficulty in communication, which might make it hard for people as they don't know what to say, this becomes a negative feed back loop.

Well what would an evolutionary biologist say about people with Autism struggling to find partners? Surely if we were the next stage in evolution every Aspie guy would be beating them off with a stick like Russell Brand?
Hahaha you win post of the day. I can picture him now
I WISH we were the next stage in evolution. Would give anything to be Russel rather than me right now. haha
