I build theories in my head about things using various research, pattern recognition and reason.. This is just a tentative musing that I am developing so please let me know your thoughts! thank you :)

What if....

We know that there have been multiple species of human being over the past couple million years. Some of these species overlapped chronisticly and geographically. What if these species interbred and people with AS are really just a hybrid species of human being. It would explain why we are all a little different but have things in common.

What if ASD'S are a product of social evolution that we have subsequently developed as a defense/survival mechanism...

(I have ADHD and OCD so its easier for me to comprehend the possible benefits)

ADHD: helps people with AS to diversify interests, develop motor functions, socialize with others, self defense

Tourettes: Self defense, _____, ________ ?

OCD: Hygiene, Attention to detail,

ODD: Self defense

Aspies can have offspring with NT's, so they're obviously the same species.

a donkey can breed with a pony / a goat can breed with a sheep / a tiger can breed with a lion.. i could go on

also i am not proposing that we are distinct species just that we have the blood of a distinct species of human mixed in

Yeah, but their offspring are all sterile.

More importantly, there was a thread about this topic earlier started by the user Gideon, see it here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp4875725 ... t=#4875725

Maybe it's coincidence. Maybe you subconsciously saw it and then thought this was your theory. I dunno.
