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 it makes life more difficult the number of choices we have.

    If we order a cup of tea we might have about ten different choices of Herbal tea.

    At  one time we would just be given a cup of tea without any choice.

    On the whole that makes life simpler.

    When I tried a diet it was hard to find Herbal Tea back in the 1980s.

    That could only be bought in health food shops.

    As for Politics we do not have much influence.

    I do not know who is in charge.

    I do not think David Cameron is and I do not think Gordon Brown was either.

    It appears to me the Country is run by Civil Servants and officials from Europe.

    One example is David Cameron said Gary Mckinnon should be tried in the Uk.

    Labour said they could not stop Gary's extradition.

    Teresa May might say that as well.
