Then again M life has been a history of people yelling at me and treating me unfairly for things that aren't always my fault. Talk about the story of my life. One day I'll verbally snap at my roommate and all hell will break lose. I'm growing sick of humans and their petty ego's these jackasses never change, yet they don't realize our society conditions them that way.

I do believe that it can be recovered. The reason that I do what I do is because my son is physically ill (and he happens to have autism). If it were called childhood cancer or even indigestion, I would still treat the physical symptoms and not worry about the label. I wrote an article for Age of Autism on this topic. It will be in on Sunday. Check it out. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411258404667293080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-54668883605354406372009-04-15T13:39:00.000+10:002009-04-15T13:39:00.000+10:00I've come to think that autism, as well as baldnes...I've come to think that autism, as well as baldness, are both forms of evolution. <br /><br />baldness: pointing out which males have particular traits and which don't. By marking our species, mating becomes easier. Unfortunately society has made baldness the opposite of attractive in a lot of ways, like making models the 'idea woman' rather than what the majority of women look like.<br /><br />autism: the beginning of change. we've been here less than 0.00000001 of a blink of an eye, so right now, human kind is working out the kinks. I feel like as an 'aspie' (I hate that term!), that my natural numb nature towards others is just thousands of years of the 'emotions' that have led to every evil word in the dictionary through wars, takeovers, genocide, holocausts, everything a result of a disagreement one way or another.<br /><br /><br />my point? there is no cure for evolution. evolution cures us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446169958700461912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-15444929211726864822009-04-11T19:31:00.000+10:002009-04-11T19:31:00.000+10:00the only 'cure' is acceptance.

Without acceptance and understanding there is a problem. <BR/><BR/>Like they say, communism works in theory, problem is people are just too damn different.<BR/><BR/>Diversity is ESSENTIAL for the prosperity of a species, and life, dawinism clearly states that. <BR/><BR/>My hero Einstein was thought to be on the spectrum, and he managed to say some of the most beautiful things about any topic that was thrown at him. Am I showing arrogance when I say we can look at things from such a different level that it can be uncomprehendable to the vast majority. <BR/><BR/>Certain music such as mozart has to ability to physically paralise me.

We _need_ people on the spectrum, with deep interests and fascinations, people that make life interresting. And besides, have you ever met a truely "normal" person? And?

It inclines towards attempting to make people all the same and putting an end to interresting diversity in people. From a progress point of view its probably outright dangerous. Lots of scientists and inventors are on the spectrum, if these people are "cured" at a youg age I think humanity's progress will probably slow down. I think my point is that we dont all need to be NT's, however much the NT dominated world wants to assimulate us. Diversity is a wonderful thing, people on the spectrum have a right to be different.Ronaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841851020927689161.post-22097022159750773622009-04-09T16:25:00.000+10:002009-04-09T16:25:00.000+10:00I agree with you.
