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.

  • Imagine realizing you have choices in things that don't matter, but will be threatened and harassed if you simply don't want to be involved or comply to threats and menaces.

    Suddenly you realize that you can understand (stand under) or you can not understand- not understanding means that if you do not threaten anyone or threaten to harm yourself your not detain-able under a mental heath assessment unless they can prove it would drastically improve your outlook on life.

    So I do understand the average adult is

    1) not very bright, they buy stuff they don't need and think that their ego makes them popular.

    2) We are all slaves given choices in things that don't matter example:-

    you can choose 10 flavors of ice cream but deadly nuclear waste which has dangers for 100,000 years is non of our business even though science has no solution.

    It is like living in the dark ages expecting infinite growth in a finite world,herding people like cattle to buy stuff they don't need.

    Maybe thats why education stinks, society stinks and most of the population have puddle depth of perspective.

    But most people are too self involved and demoralized and indoctrinated to notice or react.
