True Autism is genetic and its prevalence is about 1 or 2 in every 10,000 kids.....the new epidemic of "Autism", which occurs in about 1 in every 100 kids is not "Autism" at all; it's a NeuroImmune disorder, in which the NeuroGlia of the brain are chronically activated and shut-off blood flow to the temporal lobes and cerebellum (see John Hopkins research)....If we ever want to make progress as a country against this new epidemic of "Autism"; the 1st thing we need to do is stop calling it Autism

If it wasn't for autism genes, we'd probably still be living in caves or at least the horse and buggy era.

i have done endless autism research... and i think i might have the answer... autism is not present at birth.... it is developed in the first three years of life... thats when the human brain developes... if something messes with it... autism happens...

Interesting philosophy, one I have not heard of before. I thought I detected some disbelief or disagreement in your tone though. What do you feel is the potential cause?
-
sometimes. not always.

That's the spirit! You nailed it all down perfectly.

Affirmative. Large heads containing large brains (an AS brain behaves somewhat more like a computer in that it mainly stores data, this is because it is heavily decentralized, each lobe having it's own mass of white matter connecting to a somewhat shrunken corpus callosum, meaning that the lobes act a bit more independently of the others, this accounts for the awkwardness and obsessive nature of AS phenotypes).

I've have a question. Is it true that Autistic people generally have larger than average heads? I've seen this on the internet a few times. Thanks.

Oh yeah the other thing is that there are statistics that show the the rate of Autism in the Silicon Valley is "SLIGHTLY" higher than the national average but the "per capita" rate alters that statistic so it is debatable about the numbers. There is noe thing that lends some credibility to what he says and that is the fact that NC (Raliegh Durham to be specific) has a similarly higher rate and there are many "Geeks" in that area also.

Piven has yet to show that these affected parents have skills which might get them to silicon valley. For all we know these parents may be no "better" than typical parents. Asperger observed otherwise, but I am waiting for results to show the "lesser variant" is good. Then I could feel better about myself.

Tony, I like your videos, very informative and personally interesting. Here are my thoughts:
No mutation is purely good or bad although most spontaneous mutations are bad, and no adaptation is universal there are always trade-offs.
The fact that aspies tend to obsess about given subjects and sometimes find a useful or even sociallly beneficial outlet for them shows that this can be an advantage, despite the attendant handicaps.

I completely agree.

Thought provoking comments. On a more negative note, you could also argue that the evolutionary process stopped working all together on western man 50 to 100 years ago. In other words, there is no longer any culling from the herd and genetically weaker stock is now allowed in live a full lifespan. A few hundred years ago, most human beings did not make it to the age of maturity.
Males chose spouses for completely different reasons today so the Silicon Valley theory probably has some truth.

I think men remain attracted to women who appear fertile - young, shapely, etc. Smart and sexy is best. Female attraction is pretty complex, and success means a lot. Couples have always married spouses of similar intelligence.
