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.

  • The NAS leaflets say that we all make judgements about other people.

    I made a correct judgement about someone and I am supposed to be Autistic.

     

    I told my Mother that someone is a silly old man.

    My Mother now told me that I am right on holiday on a small ship he could not even find his way round.

    I was not on that holiday.

    My Mother disagreed the first time I said it in January it shows that Autistic people can be right and so called NT people can be wrong.
