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?

  • The articles I read suggested that autism was part of nature's trial and error process, not the end result. As evolution is a very long process, we will never know either way. It's an interesting theoretical concept.

    read "The origin of Species" by Darwin ( not autistic ).

    Well, he was certainly highly capable of hyper-focusing on specialised subjects, he spent 8 years producing a definitive study of barnacles, he was a rather solitary child, despite having siblings, he is known to have had only two romantic relationships - one unrequited, the other his marriage to his first cousin, he was a compulsive systematiser - of insects and other specimens, he was obsessive, in his middle and later years he had an unvarying daily routine, he hated public events and the threat of one or even the arrival of visitors would often make him so ill he would be bedridden.
