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 the Gary Mckinnon case is to do with Autism.

    The general point is that it does not make much difference whether we have Labour Government or a Conservative Government is not much to do with Autism.

    At the moment we have a left wing Conservative Government partly because the Conservatives are in coalition with the Liberal Democrats.

    I have an A Level in Government and Politics and if one reads the different legislation passed by both Labour and the Conservatives you would see it does not matter which party is in power.

    For example the National Curriculim was brought in when Mrs Thatcher was Prime Mininster. Continual Assessment for exams.

    Corporal punishment abollished by the European Court of Human rights when she was still Prime Minister.

    The 1989 Childrens Act saying that children in orphanages cannot be deprived of food for punishment.  Mrs Thatcher probably was not very interested in the legislation and probably thought if the so called experts in the Civil Service want it go for it.

    I think most Governments let the Civil Service decide which laws to bring in.

    It makes me think that our Legislation is drafted by Civil Servants and Eurocrats

    More recently the School Leaving Age was raised above sixteen by the Labour Government but the Conservatives are not going to reverse it.

    The Leaving age will soon be eighteen.

    I think both parties want to bring the Unemployment rate down.

     

    In 1945 Labour brought in the NHS. so there was then some difference between the parties.

    I am not sure if Winston Churchill had won the 1945 election means testing in Health care would have gone.

    Now we have consensus Politics so that is why many people do not bother to vote in elections.
