All Humans have Autistic traits

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.

  • I heard a talk on dementia and the speaker pointed out that we all forgetful even if we do not have dementia.

    The same is true of Autism.

    Whether you are Autistic or not we sometimes do not care about other peoples feellings and every human makes mistakes whether Autistic or not.

     

    It was also said at the Dementia talk that life situations affect people with Dementia.

    The same is true of Autism.

    We can develop obsessions because of our life situation and not because of Autism.

    It can be wrongly attributed to Autism.
