Aspies For Freedom

So two copies of the yet-to-be determined mutated sensory gene cause severe problems, but one copy results in advantages - and therefore stays in the population.��I'll go further and say that as we have moved from a society of hunter/gathers/farmers/etc to a society where security is derrived from economic success, benefits from Aspergers type is increasing, producing even more ASD in the population.

Pardon my french, but: Exfuckingxactly! The autism numbers in Silicon Valley are astounding, even amongst the unvaccinated!

Um, without actually reading the thread, I'd like to point out that the theory of evolution no longer applies well to humanity since we are keeping nearly all of our population alive till breeding age.

Also, if we were competing, it's more likely that we would specialize to avoid competing with one another since there are so many of us, rather than the race in general being improved (this fits with what seems to be being suggested, but in this case autistics are merely a subset of humanity with a certain role to play, not superior in any way.) The world doesn't actually work like Social Darwinism would suggest.

I'm also pretty sure the Neanderthal stuff is nonsense.
