All Humans have Autistic traits

David

This Morning I heard Simon Baron  Cohen  say that we all have Autistic traits just that Autsitic people have it more than others.

It is wrong to make out that Autistic people all the time cannot read other peoples minds and people who do not have Autism can always do so.

Especially people at the top end of the Spectrum can sometimes read peoples minds better than so called NTS.

They were discussing the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night by Mark Haddon which is going to be on at the National Theatre as a play.

This is a play about a boy who was supposed to be Autistic.

What  I like about that play is that it is the father who was the criminal shooting the dog.

  • Yes we all really know that people who are not Autistic also love routines can be over persistent and insesetive to other peoples feellings without meaning to be.

    It is that Autistic people are more likely to do that.

     

    I think it is wrong in order to explain Autism to Non Autistic people to exagerate the differences between Autisitc people and so called NTS.

    Exagerating the differences distorts the truth.

     

    It is good enough to say that Autistic people tend to love routines and be over persistent without meaning to be more often than people who are not on the Autistic spectrum.
