| Everything I have said in this thread and others about what autism is, has been from the understanding that autism is the things that are not neurotypical. Then people describe something that is not neurotypical and want to know if it makes somebody not neurotypical. Well not being neurotypical, in ... |

The statistical range of human minds, that is outside of the norm. That which is not a statistically typical presentation of self. Why does every other ... |

| Hume and Popper demonstrated exactly what I just said, that separating them is an illusion. A false dichotomy, they are two sides of the same coin. You can't deduce a conclusion until you induce a hypothesis, you can't induce a hypothesis until you deduce a set of potential hypothesis, you can't ded... |

| Okay after posting that I just had a realization. People don't realize what autistic means in the sense of They don't Realize what the etymology of the word autistic is. It means not in conformity with tistic averages. Au, as in atypical presentation, tistic as in data point, you have the statistica... |

| It IS a nomenclature clash that we are living out in our lives. It IS confused, a confusion we live out with our lives. People ask "What is Autism?" people ask "What makes these things autism?" Well according to who? You ask a question and I have a compulsion to seek your answer. Define your terms. ... |

| Social Lubricant. The only way to give the wrong phatic response is to imbue meaning into it. It is a conditioned response to a stimulus. If you are thinking about what it means, you are putting the wrong meaning in it. You make acknowledgement of other human beings you come in contact with as a way... |

| Recognizing that something is true multiple times and assuming it will be true again is inductive reasoning. Establishing a complete logic equation of why things happen is deductive reasoning. Intuition. Logic. Both reasoning methods. Both essential to the ability to perform the other. You can't fig... |

| Autistic explicitly means "the difference is in the wiring" when we identify something that is the issue that is not wiring based, in neuropsychiatry we don't call that issue autism. Autism is the stuff in the wiring. Everything that is not in the wiring is not Autism. That is the way it works out o... |

| Let's back up a little as we move forward. There is scientific evidence that exposure to information inherently changes the brain architecture. What you know defines who you are. There is scientific evidence that certain humans are born with a genetic structure that via epigenetic force results in a... |

I didn't want to have to try and attach names to things I had read catching up on the thread so I just kind spit out some stuff in response to the general trend of the thread. I figured anybody who had read and integrated the things I wa... |

Some jokes come at the funny from all directions so we all bust a gut to the same level, other jokes are oriented ... |

| The thing you are missing for all your harping on neuroplasticity is that autistic neuroplasticity has been demonstrated to be different from NT neuroplasticity via brain scans. Did you read the study I linked in my first post? That is what they are talking about when they talk about that "second-wa... |

| You are trapped in a false dichotomy. It doesn't have to be a binary choice. It is more complex than an on off switch. It is a million on off switches that each have specific stimuli that flip them on and off and the specific combination of on off switches define the physiological basis the lifeform... |

| Everybody is throwing around a bunch of numbers with no reference to which testing system the number comes from. I don't know where this 155 cut off comes from, it would be far more useful if people were using the metric the numbers are actually targeted to find, the percentile. At least if I knew t... |
