Is autism just an extreme version of the male mind??


"About a decade ago, Baron-Cohen suggested that autism — which is much less likely to afflict girls — might be an extreme version of the typical male brain. MEN TEND TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD VIA PATTERNS and structure, whereas WOMEN ARE MORE INCLINED TO UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS and sympathize with others." -Simon Baron-Cohen

"Autism, Baron-Cohen believes, is a condition where people perceive systems and patterns while remaining almost oblivious to other people and their feelings."
