Mirror Neurons
Loading...
Uploaded by gault69 on Aug 24, 2006
It is believed by many that mirror neurons enable humans to emulate others and thereby empathise with one another. If true, functioning mirror neurons are essential for the socialization of children, and their lack of function would result in the social isolation typical of individuals on the autistic spectrum.
This short clip explains the action of these neurons and the testing of their funtionality. The case of a boy with Asperger's Syndrome is explored.

I believe they were mainly referring to people with asperger autism being awkward with social interactions with others, or having trouble doing simple physical things like....learning to ride a bike or something [just an example]. But, characteristics for disorders aren't always fixed, so...
And many people with asperger autism have an excellent auditory perception so learning a new language or musical piece easily could be expected.

Some Autistic people are also known to be excellent mimics, and can pick up languages and accents with relative ease; and learn complex musical pieces by watching someone play them, or by listening to them once.
Kind of blows a large hole in the theory.

@rebel4evr114 You're full of shit. It is people like you who can not sympathise, empathise, or see another's perspective.I have aspergers, and I have always been more empathetic and aware of people who were disabled or different, whereas "So called normal people" would laugh and mock anyone who was remotely different. YOU lack compassion and love. Pull your head in!

Why do people put so much emphasis on spelling, as if it is actually the tell all sign of intelligence. Insulting people's spelling is like a virus on the net. It's not like we're writing a thesis when posting. People shouldn't be so anal.
