Does autism exist?

Of course it does, though I had the misfortune of listening to someone proclaim their lack of belief a few weeks ago. Here’s my response:[edited by moderator]

  • Denying autism is nonsense probably the same group that say the world is flat and there was no moon landing !

  • Indeed. I think it's like having an opinion on gravity - i.e. utterly irrelevant.

  • Opinions about gravity are indeed irrelevant, Ideas on the other hand, could lead us to some really, really, interesting toys, of which yer proper "flying car" is just the start.

    "Flat earth and no moon landings" people are the very definition of "red herrings". They are nastiily "deep" distortions of reality too. Just try and pick a fight with one of the more organised flat earthers, they can produce an absolute torrent of information and evidence to back up their claims. I had to devise my own test to disprove flat earth conclusively. You know you've won, when they won't answer your point even after you've presented it a half dozen differnt ways...

    People don't know very much at all, they don't think very deeply or clearly, hell most people have to outsource their thinking to the crowd, the idiot box or a Cult, just to get through the day.

    Of the tiny few who really cannot stop thinking, a goodly percentage of those try to dull their minds (and hence the pain) with drink or drugs or "medicine" (different drugs).

    For the rest of you, consider this:

    The force of gravity is not an outside thing at all, it's an internal nuclear force produced in every proton (which is itself a seething ball of moving quarks, and also a component of the Neutron) in response to an external stimulus. 

    Sadly I do not as of yet understand exactly HOW a time variant electromagnetic field produces a linear vector kinetic force, but there are plenty of bodies of work that when aggregated over 2 decades of of fairly hard work and LOTs of emails to idiots, crafty people, recogised luminaries in the field, and straight people like me who are just working the problem out of interest, suggest that the stimulus field that causes all my protons to want to move downards (the reaction to the stimulus) is a product of earth being charged at 14 million volts with respect to space with a dietectric (the atmosphere) mediating that charge. 

    All that is hypothesis and specualtion, howver by using about 2Kg worth of bits and pieces,  I can build a thing that weigs 3 grammes and make it weigh minus 1.5 grammes. The world record is a huge structure that will lift 64 grammes, a mouse by the name of orville. Still a LONG way away from lifting it's own power supply...
