Is Neurodiversity Possibly Evolution?

Daniel

I've seen lots of videos by people who think autism may be evolution to humanity. 

I think neurodiversity instead of autism is possibly evolution to humanity. As times going by more and more people are been diagnosed with a neurological difference, neurological differences are increasing. 

I were taught the only genes that survive are genes we require, since all these genes are increasing we are requiring them even more. 

Do you think some point in the future all humans will have a neurodivergent condition making neurodiversity part of evolution?

  • Actually, from the research I've done, it seems the evolution of society and the trajectory of consumerism, driven by capital and shaped by advertising, has caused autism to surface. Supposedly, it has always existed and this would make sense when one needed to be connected to the earth, have heightened sensory skills. In a civilisation without technology or even without education, an innate abliity to analyse and make connexions, to understand how everything is connected would be beneficial.

    This particular blog, I think, explains the NeuroDiverse phenonemon, answering this question: "If neurodiversity is the natural variation of cognition, motivations, and patterns of behaviour within the human species, then what role do autistic traits in particular play within human cultures and what cultural evolutionary pressures have allowed autistic traits to persist over hundreds of thousands of years?" autcollab.org/.../
