Dose anyone wonder if Autism is the next stage of human evolution ?

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.

  • I wouldn’t say, that we are next step in evolution. I’m sure that autistic people have been here all along, just now we got recognized. But what I can say, the neurodiversity is a gift for humanity. In many ways. We can learn each other’s differences, use different skills as a collective, because of our spiky skill sets and heightened senses we are often innovators, creators, inventors and the whole collective benefits from this. I wish next generations of ND people will be treated with respect and appreciated instead of being bullied. I wish our suffering does not go to waste, but helps educate everyone about diversity in many ways. It’s just up to us as humanity, how much of our potential we can use as a collective.
