I Have a Question

It has been reported that people with autism do excellent in the cyber-world while having problems in our current social world. Could autism not be an illness but a evolutionary step to human-machine interface or cyborg?

As someone who has autistic children in my household, I have to disagree with the "do excellent in the cyber world" concept. In my own experiences, that tends to be the ADHD children... who also live under my roof. They are BEASTS on the XBox, and you do not want to be on the other team.

@GwydionFrost @GwydionFrost There is a movie called "Autism is a World" that explains the cyber link plus Microsoft has started a special hireing of autistic people. I have Autism myself soo scan news for it

Thinking about it it makes sense that people with autism fare better in the cyber world than in real life because a lot of face to face human interaction relies in facial expressions, body language, voice modulation and other facets of communication that people with autism struggle with. People with autism also take a lot of what is said literally, they don't understand sarcasm, irony etc in conversation. Typed cyber communication lacks the facets of communication that people with autism struggle with - no facial expressions etc. This has a knock on effect that when you type you have to communicate in a more literal manner to make sure that those you are talking to understand. This, I imagine is easier for people with autism to understand.

No, evolution has everything to do with reproduction so if they're not getting laid it won't work. 🤷
Cool idea, though

@NorthernRoses if the parents are creating more children with autism then...

The reason why is people with autism such as myself, don’t adapt well in the social world, you all laugh at us because we are different. But we grow to laugh at you because you are all the same.

Wow.

"It has been proven that humans have scales under their skin.. could this mean that it is in preparation for the lizard take over of the world?"
