Autism

Why do you think there is so many Trump supporters on here?

Its essentially a multitude of mental illnesses classified as one thing.

Depends on the kind of autism, and whether you're high-functioning or low-functioning.

I am a high-functioning Asperger, probably because my parents decided to wait until their late 30's to have kids. Thus, they ended up with 2 children instead the 4 they wanted.

Anyway, Asperger's childhood is tough. It was hard enough for my dad, who grew up in a time where kids could beat you up if you did stupid things. But no, nowadays you're not allowed to do that. So when I did stupid cringe shit as a kid, I NEVER learned my lesson, and I'm sure 99% of the kids at school hated me.

It's easier as an adult. My father never really fully escaped doing autistic stuff, but I'm doing well. Friends I met there didn't even know I was an Aspie, I had no problem socializing, and I didn't do stupid cringe shit much more than anyone else. I suppose it's partially thanks to this site that I improved so much. When I said stupid cringe shit here, people called me a stupid edgy attention-seeking autist, which surprisingly helped me learn how to not be that.

just like how niggers and globalists believe IQ tests are bullshit? you just lack self awareness, pooloo.

t. non-delusional aspie

Are you talking to me?

hello

So it's hereditary?

Do others in your family have it?Like what? ADD, some others?

I was, fucked up the post.

>I suppose it's partially thanks to this site that I improved so much. When I said stupid cringe shit here, people called me a stupid edgy attention-seeking autist, which surprisingly helped me learn how to not be that.
same here. people actually say whatever is on their mind here instead of being socially acceptable and laughing behind your back. Cred Forums gave me a great deal of self awareness.

This is interesting. In first reading about it, it sounded like these kids just needed discipline and someone to call them on their shit. Still not sure.

It's hereditary. My father had it, and his mother had it. It was hilarious seeing old Gran and Dad talking to each other. No matter how pleasant the conversation started out, it would always end up with both of them yelling at each other because they'd misunderstand each other's tone of voice while simultaneously not paying attention to their own tone of voice.

I'm a PhD genetics student my thesis is on Autism Spectrum Disorders

>pic related is a CNV we found in an ASD kid

To answer your questions:

>Genetic
Yes about 1/3 of the current ASD patients we screen have a genetic mutation that's extremely rare or never recorded before.

The remaining 2/3 of cases probably have mutations in noncoding regions that are currently poorly understood

>Environmental
Yes but the environmental contribution is not so drastic. If there were a significant environmental contribution, scientists would have noticed it by now. All current data are correlative and not causative.

>Common
It's the diagnosis. About 1% of people will have a psychiatric disorder either from a new mutation that occurs in sex cells or from a burden of many inherited variants. In the case of ASD the diagnosis is so broad now that an awkward kid that barely said a word in class in the 1950's would be considered ASD today.

DSM V definition if ASD encompasses a variety of phenotype; from low IQ tards to Aspie 140IQ fucks.

I'm not autistic but I have a half sister that is. Older fathers contribute risk to ASD and my dad was 50 when he had her.

I'm about to publish a paper with 3000 whole genomes sequenced. See you in Nature :^)

>Ask me more questions.

autism here is like people who claim to be gluten free. Many are self diagnosed and make it (in)convenient.Less people have real diagnosed cases. A small percentage of that have life seriously changed by it

I can also attest to this. I used to do and say stupid cringe shit until people started telling me not to do it. I still do so occasionally, but it isn't chronic.

Anyone else think Autism acceptance is where it went wrong back in 07/08? Now it seems to be an easy excuse for every lazy parent or teacher to label a child who has different habits but not only are a lot of cases more than likely exaggerated and not even real. It also gave a voice to certain SJW and liberal groups on the internet so they could do whatever they like, it was basically the start of "if something I don't like isn't right then I'm taking it down", sort of ideal.

absolutely, be as direct as possible. don't even think about hurting their feelings and just say exactly what they're doing wrong and why it's wrong.

Most of the clinically diagnosed ASD cases are not like these basement dwellers.

These are hand flapping tards that can't wipe their ass. This is the real face of ASD

it's the next step of human evolution. It tends to fuck up people's mind because they can't handle it yet but with time we adapt and the handicap will become a strength separating the few but growing chosen ones from the masses left behind in their primitive state. This just might what Nietzsche foresaw as the Übermensch elevating himself above the human condition

I was diagnosed in my late teens (Asperger's) and it's something I'd rather not think about, but I've been trying to "red pill" myself on the issue of autism for years since it's been bothering me.

It seems to be genetic because I've pretty much been the same since I was a kid, and environmental in the sense of your mother's age while giving birth can have an effect. I don't know about vaccines.

I think it's more common due to mothers having children at an older age, our culture more obsessed with diagnosing everyone for something, and just more people being born (some of them will be autistic).

To get by living with autism you need to be more self aware and be more disciplined so you don't act too autistic in public (I learned this the hard way)

by the way amazing digits in this thread

That's why #I'mWithHer.

Nice trip-dub combo btw.

Correlation exists between advancing maternal age and autism, a similar correlation with Down's Syndrome and a number of other spontaneous chromosomal abnormalities. The real redpill is that women's eggs, or maybe their womb itself, go bad long before they stop having periods.

Please explain more about the figure. Lot of acronyms and jargon I'm not familiar with.

Sort of. Part of the reason why Aspergers and the like is such a big problem today is just due to bad parenting. Now, my father didn't have the best upbringing in the world because his family moved around so much, but he grew up with strong morals and traditions, and kids WOULD beat him up if he did stupid things.

But it takes more than just a strong upbringing. For me, I had to learn how to recognize tone of voice and irony and sarcasm the same way I'd learn a math problem. I especially had trouble with irony and sarcasm until I found this place.

I mean, you have to realize what a life-changer Cred Forums was for me. My whole life, I'd just say what I was honestly thinking, and it frustrated me that other's wouldn't say what they were thinking. So coming here, where people really DO say what's on their minds, really taught me what other people are actually like and why not spearing out everything that pops into your head is so important.

I completely agree with you. I've seen the real cases. I hate that tards on here like to say that have an illness because they get shy around girls who aren't attracted to them

Autism is just being logical in regard to social taboo; when many other people are 'trained' to give an emotional response.

For instance, racism doesnt exist as its a social construct. Googles didnt have to push drugs, or kill each other. They dont have to continue to live in abject poverty. If they collectively chose to work together and put aside their own issues to better their own education, jobs, and families they would actually be able to progress.

That's probably the easiest way I have to explain autism.

>environmental in the sense of your mother's age while giving birth can have an effect.
That's not environment and you're wrong it's the father (see pic)

Maternal increased age is risk for aneuploidies such as Downs (Trisomy 21). This is probably due to the weakened Cosesin proteins since eggs are "frozen" in Meosis before menses.

Fathers on the other hand produce sperm throughout their life. Thus DNA is replicating and making mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes don't get fixed and they continue on in the sperm lineage.

This is also not environmental, but a biological process. Environment would be pollution contributing risk to ASD (which is not established)

at least part genetic because it's common to inheret it. i think it has to do with epigenetics personally, there is strong correlation between vitamin D deficiency/giving birth at an old age and autism.

diagnoses are not handed out like candy anymore in most countries, the DSM has a much longer and more comprehensive list of symptoms and whatnot nowadays

>off by one

My condolences

post aspie compasses
you should all be purple

This is just one case.

A child has a 128,000 base pair deletion of exon 2 of CACNG2, a gene also known as Stargazin.

Mice that do not have this gene (both copies knocked out) have seizures and weird motor problems.

Both parents (in green) do not have the deletion. The father (we can tell with other methods) had a mutation in a sperm cell that made his kid Autistic.

The red bar shows where in the human genome the deletion was found to be.

I thought women had all the eggs they would ever have and didn't produce any as that age. So something happens to them when they age i guess?

>I hate that someone has an illness but their illness isnt as severe as I think it should be so therefore their personal hardship doesnt matter cause I say so! :^)
What a very autistic opinion to have user

>Part of the reason why Aspergers and the like is such a big problem today is just due to bad parenting.

Source? It's mostly genetic. If you're talking about the anti-social tenancies that's different.

Being anti-social doesn't make you an Aspie. Doing repetitive behaviors and usually a high IQ is required for a true Aspie diagnosis

...

I have Asperger's and I can confirm that most Autistics are commie loving faggots besides myself. Anyways Autism is a disease and it makes people more retarded then ever. It came from flu shots originally and it started spreading.

Have you been on this site more than an hour? Stop by r9k for a bit. Tons of people talk about autism and admit to being self diagnosed. They are retarded, just a different kind

Autism had its diagnosis criteria changed multiple times. Eventually getting turned into a "spectrum".

In reality, however, this was in part to give some "despicable" illnesses a better name, since it was glorified in public eyes. For example, childhood schizophrenia would be masked as an autistic disorder, yet medications prescribed would be the same correct ones.

Self-diagnosis was at some point a way for nerds to excuse some weird traits or as a way to make themselves feel special. These days this niche is taken over by make-up genders and pronouns.

>at least part genetic because it's common to inheret it. i think it has to do with epigenetics personally, there is strong correlation between vitamin D deficiency/giving birth at an old age and autism.

It's mostly genetic. 1/3 of cases are attributed to genetics. Before 2000 only Fragile X cases were attributed to genetics.

Epigenetics is still poorly understood. But I agree that some genetic aberrations (not as much as coding mutations and loss of function mutations) will be epigenetic in nature. Probably will see the first cases of it in the next decade or so. Epigenetics is a baby baby science.

Actually the case of Prader-Willi and Angelman syndrome is epigenetics (parental imprinting). However this epigentic change is caused by genetic (not epigenetic) mutations on chromosome 15

Noticed you said correlated not causative. However we do know the father not mother's age contributes risk to ASD.

Asperger's itself is genetic. But through good parenting, you can actually turn out to be about 99% indistinguishable from the rabble.

Helicopter Parenting actively shields Aspie kids from the vital process of punishment whenever they do stupid cringe shit. So they never learn.

>I-im not autistic! B-because other people are m-more autistic a-user-kun!!
Jesus you're awful

>It's mostly genetic. 1/3 of cases are attributed to genetics.

Is this your way of coming out as an autist user?

I thought this flu shot thing was debunked.

This need to rationalize emotions and subtleties of social interaction seems like it'd be exhausting.

I'm not autistic but research autism user.

thats pretty autistic

Well I have autism but I received it from life-threatening physical abuse that my parents caused, basically they threw a party at their house and everyone got drunk, you can obviously tell what happened after that, I ended up being crushed and thrown around like a football.

Gee mum and dad, thanks a fucking lot. Hope you're still disgusted and ashamed of yourselves 23 years later, of course you would've divorced by this time and took up heroin most likely.

The future belongs to techno-separatists. The globalists will leave them alone on their islands through sheer terror.

Down's syndrome is an anueploidy. It's an error of chromosome segregation.

The DNA has already been replicated and the eggs are "frozen" in Meiosis in women during fetal development. So any DNA mutation occurs in utero (meaning a mother carrying her daughter will produce all mutations in her grandchildren)

THE DAD'S AGE CONTRIBUTES TO ASD NOT THE MOM

men produce sperm all their life even into their 70s. As you make sperm (replicate DNA) you make errors. Most of those errors are fixed but the ones that are not get passed on.

If you mutate one wrong gene your kid get fucked.

you cant abuse someone into autism, you were born with it.

My boss made that for a grant proposal

its caused by the preservatives in the vaccines as a slow kill operation.

>THE DAD'S AGE CONTRIBUTES TO ASD NOT THE MOM
fug, at what age does it become too much of a risk to breed?

Can you elaborate on this? How could it possibly be advantageous?

It's not just that, i've yet to meet a fellow autist or aspie that didn't suffer from difficulties proccessing info through at least one of the five senses. One common problem is inability to cancel out noise, which will lead to sensory overload if you can't escape it in time. This is one among many reasons why being in public places often sucks.

my dad was 29 and my mom was 18 when she got me. perhaps age difference plays a role aswell?

Teachers wanted me on ritalin or some shit in elementary school, parents pushed to get me in gifted classes instead. Did the future problem solving shit through middle and elementary school.

Probably would have been branded an aspie or some shit in the current educational environment, but I'm a software engineer that gets flown around the east coast to fix peoples shit.

So I'm sociable enough to be sent directly to clients, that's cool.

Only ever blew some adderall and ritalin in college. Spent all night setting up linux distros. Got a great wife out of the whole ordeal though.

matters on your own genetic burden.

>do people not read the threads?

see this figure

I would say after 40-45 the risk of ASD increases, by 50 it's much higher. Best time to have a kid as a Dad is before 40.

However these risk increases are small, like a difference between 1.5X increased risk.

If you already have genetic burden (like you have psychiatric disorders in your family) then the risk is much much higher.

There's theories about common mutation and new mutations contributing risk together. I could elaborate if you like.

In the age of the internet we must shed our social lives, it is not needed anymore.

>Not understanding nietzsches übermensch at all.
>Trying to justify a clear dysfunction on >basic human functions< as superiority.

AUTISM SPOTTED.

I'm purple, closer to the centre for economics and further towards libertarianism. Haven't been diagnosed with autism.

Youre poo-tastic in my book pajeet

Doesn't sound so bad. So in your opinion are the kiddos these days over-treated/drugged? Should it be a last resort? Heard some of those drugs are hard on the body for long periods of time

...

it's not. He's shit posting.

Natural selection is all about passing your genes. check this figure.

It' shows that ASD patients have much fewer kids than average (average is 1.0 in a healthy population)

But you're not gonna get laid, so your genetic material does with you without a social life. Seems like will end itself.

There was a study that asked that but it was poorly designed.

Probably your parents already have increased risk and they passed it to you.

If they don't have increased risk (no history of any psychiatric disorders) then one of your parents got unlucky and had a new mutation in their sex cells that got passed on to you.

It's all about rolling the dice with mutations. At 29 your dad already had mutations, but as he ages more accumulated. So with more throws of the dice you get more chances of getting a bad mutation.

if your dad threw a bad set of dice at 25 then he was just unlucky.

Overlooked the burden part, sorry. Is there a solid way of determining this burden? Also, is freezing sperm when younger a way to mitigate this risk or does that cause other problems?

Its actually quite the reverse. I cant fathom how someone can go through life only having emotional responses to things (or to the majority of 'things'). Or not constantly question if what they think is valid, etc.

Do other people not have a constant voice in their heads that never shuts off and debates or speaks to them? Or is that just how I think of thinking.

Sex is degenerate in itself. We must get rid of it and treat the world's overpopulation as well.

>This is one among many reasons why being in public places often sucks
Especially chaotic school environments are exhausting to be in, in my experience.

I am on the autism spectrum. Here is my experience:

-I have difficulty interpreting body language, and my body language is hard to consciously control.
-People usually notice that I'm different. I also have clinical OCD which causes people to be turned off by my tendency to freak out over little things.
-I'm lonely, but this is largely my own fault for being a shut-in.
-I'm a shut-in because I don't like to leave my 'safe spaces' (i.e. agoraphobia), which I've heard is also characteristic of autism.
-I'm the cancer that is killing Cred Forums.

And I believe we wil all attain immortality before we die of old age.
We must do away with social lives and sexuality.

True autism is pretty terrible. When the average idiot goes "oh I gots autism" no they don't. People with autism don't even know they fucking have it.
youtube.com/watch?v=FO1W7iXTSQE
When you can't even get a person to brush their own teeth because they want to scream and go "uasdghhhhlllghhha ahahaaaa" while waving their toothbrush in the air, that's actual autism. or when they have a fit and beat the shit out of their mother and selves while screaming bloody hell.
youtube.com/watch?v=l_nhwLGkC5Y
That's true autism.

>solid way of determining this burden
yes and no.

The ASD genetic field is very young, but we do know mutations that will contribute risk.

If you are really worried you can get a microarray analysis done by a diagnostic company. They will screen you for all known ASD and other diseases. If something comes up then you might want to reconsider having children.

However if nothing comes up, it doesn't mean that you do not have risk burden, we just don't know about it (yet)

>freezing sperm when younger a way to mitigate this risk or does that cause other problems?
absolutely. I think about starting a company with this kind of thinking in mind. I thought about freezing my own sperm too.

People have DNA sequenced sperm from the same man at varying ages and detected new mutations as he got older. It's estimated to be 1 new mutation every year. Sometimes those mutations are a single base pair, sometimes they are deletions or duplications (or other odd genomic changes like inversions) that cover 100s to 1,000,000s of base pairs

It's all about risk. mutation is like throwing a pair of dice.

>I'm the cancer that is killing Cred Forums
>posts fails guy from 10 fucking years ago

You're goddamn right about that. Back to Cred Forums!

congenital, but you develop an ability to mask symptoms if you have tiger parents

this is helpful, obviously, so people don't think you're some kind of deranged lunatic

often, tryhards are said to have "weaponized autism;" pretty sure that's just a meme, and these people are likely bored with WoW or some other thing- but their circumscribed interest led them to want to dig and find "truth" on the smelly, irradiated cesspool of disinformation/junky journalism/clickbait/link monetization which we call the internet.

I'll kind of miss living in the digital wild west; fuck you, Obama.

Bumping with ASD data

>global structural variation in a few 100 whole genomes

Besides that, his described degenerate lifestyle builds and depends on our current systems condition only. Which is fragile as fuck. Just imagine one of the dozens real threats which could collapse our environment at any day. You would be fucked in every way and couldn't adapt on our the basic human lifestyle, from which we alienate ourselves with every day.

No, you're just an idiot using autism for an excuse because your dumb parents always told you how wonderful you are.

hey bro, i'm diagnosed with Aspergers and i'd like to ask you a few questions about it

my parents were both in their mid 30s when they had me, my maternal grandmother was apparently really odd growing up and it shows whenever i talk to her. do you think maybe she had some fault in her genes and it passed down to me?

do you believe some people with aspergers are incorrectly diagnosed? if not, what do you think causes most cases?

would it be possible at all, if the cause of aspergers is genetic, to reverse it for people already in adulthood? (i saw something on the news a few weeks ago about some chemical, 'oxytosin' i think, and some scientist was saying it might be possible to use chemicals like that to help sufferers)

there's obviously a large difference between full on retards with autism and people like me who can pass as normal, do you think there is even a single common thing between the two?

Do you have a mutation in one of these regions?

Chances are there is at least one ASD user in this thread with it

It's not one or the other. Decision making usually involves the heart and head. Non autist don't have to think about the heart part as much. Though it can skew completely rational decision making its hard to imaging moving towards identifying emotion through rational thoughts.

Daily reminder by year 2030. every 2nd 'murican kid will be autistic.

you're not autistic, you just indian

autists are the next stage of human evolution

There's gonna be a lot more people browsing Cred Forums then.

isn't that synonymous?

It's a form of autism, not 'true autism'. Because something is the worst of something don't mean it's 'true'

According to PhD user, people waiting longer to get busy and have kids only makes this worse. It is a bit frightening.

Telonomy and birth control (the pill). Whores have multiple partners which alters their DNA. The lingering DNA from all their former partners, makes a potato baby.

>Is it genetic? Environmental? Any anti-vaxer retards here?
From what I know, there is a correlation between certain factors like the parents' ages and gestational factors and autism. Not saying there's any one cause, but it does seem to be a real and bodily thing and not just a conceptual one.

Vaccinations don't cause autism.

>Why does it seem so common nowadays? Over diagnosis or something happening?
Not sure why it's as prevalent nowadays as it is. I think awareness/diagnosis is definitely a factor, but so is overdiagnosis/the autism "fad." That, and factors like people having kids when they're older probably all contribute to it. I don't think it's any one thing.

>If you're a weaponized autist, share your experience.
Lisp. Multiple kinds of synesthesia and general hypersensitivity. Odd motor coordination and gait. Some stereotyped behaviors/interests and "stims." Hyperlexia. The eye contact thing. The clothes/textures thing. Myopic obsessions. Friends, family and romantic partners who are probably also on the spectrum. "Space cadet." Easily overstimulated and overloaded.

I dunno. Once you're aware of it, it's almost palpable in people. It's definitely a real thing, as exaggerated as it is and as overused as "autistic" is.

But why? Emotion is just a chemical response to a chemical response; both generated by the brain and the body. The whole purpose of the concept of logic is that it allows you to make objective guesses to the before and after effects of chemical reactions.

That is emotion.

>my maternal grandmother was apparently really odd growing up and it shows whenever i talk to her. do you think maybe she had some fault in her genes and it passed down to me?

Probably. If she had some psychiatric disorder then more likely.

Is it your maternal grandmother? That would make more sense. There is a male bias in ASD with a male to female ratio of 4:1. Women can carry ASD mutations (and other mutations with risk to psychiatric disorders) but do not show any disease or show only partial phenotype.

>do you believe some people with aspergers are incorrectly diagnosed? if not, what do you think causes most cases?

Matters on the country and the diagnostic criteria they use. In the US we have the DSM V guidelines which in my opinion is too broad. (I'm a researcher and not a clinician so take this with a grain of salt)

I feel that many wealthy people want some excuse for their kid being dumb or odd and they get an ASD diagnosis to help them get extended testing hours and stuff.

>would it be possible at all, if the cause of aspergers is genetic, to reverse it for people already in adulthood?
Sure. Schizophrenia is genetic and people take medicine that helps with the positive symptoms (the hallucinations and stuff)

If there is a treatment it will probably be a treatment and not a cure. Gene therapy is really far off and the problem with ASD is that it is a developmental disorder. The brain develops throughout childhood and something goes wrong in ASD during this stage usually around 1-3 years of age.

The more we learn about the genetics of ASD, the more we know what proteins and biochemical pathways to make drugs for. This is the ultimate goal of my research, but I'm on the discovery end.

1

nah the increase rate of ASD is due to broadening the diagnostic criteria

Autism is a spectrum mate, there are varying degrees of it.

>there's obviously a large difference between full on retards with autism and people like me who can pass as normal, do you think there is even a single common thing between the two?
Genetic mutations, and there is some overlap when it comes to biological pathways of these mutated genes (like synapse function) However the full on retards will usually have more damaging mutations (like a deletion of 10 genes)

source? This is biologically impossible unless you are a bacterium.

Sex cells do not have horizontal transfer.

>there are tons of autistic faggots here

yep those mentally ill Marxist losers really need to go

>SHIT GETS FUCKED UP

There isn't an 'x' in 'vaccination', so the term 'anti-vaxer' is retarded. You can't just throw in an x and make it x-tremely cool.

Autism is a literal meme. Severe Mercury Rising tier autism aside, it's mainly a diagnosis to deflect comments on abysmal child rearing and to keep the psychology mill turning.

This kid with the mutation has these problems

But emotions aren't objective. They're subjective. In the end it's all chemicals and their reactions, but converting them is difficult. I can describe happiness as a favorable state for an individual. That's logical. But a sad situation can still be favorable an individual. It's not black and white.

Please link your thesis paper here when finished

Autistic guy here. It is genetic, but it's also evenly spread across all races, from what statistics show. It's not caused by vaccines.

I think it's more "common" these days b/c more children are being diagnosed. It's not being over-diagnosed; it's just that the days of extreme under-diagnosis are coming to an end. According to the American CDC, 1 in 60 children will be diagnosed with Autism.

I don't know what "weaponized" autist means, but I was pretty messed up as a kid (I also have ADHD; just fuck my shit up). I might still be, considering the fact that I browse Cred Forums for hours every day.

Autism was a mistake. They wanted more codebreaker-tier agents, but they fucked up and made everyone crazy.

This has been published it's a smaller study. However I won't link it since my real name is on the publication.

But if you are interested I can send you the paper in an email or something more private.

>Here's my data. It's not ASD but helps to find the mutations

Autism = Honesty
It is classified as a mental illness by Jews.

How did they achieve this? Sources plz

Is it possible to get a diagnosis as an adult? Based on my observations from interacting with other people and the environment around me I think I might have it, but for all I know it could just be ADHD/social anxiety.

>Women can carry ASD mutations (and other mutations with risk to psychiatric disorders) but do not show any disease or show only partial phenotype.
So there's a chance that maybe my maternal grandmother was showing minor symptoms, was written off as just being a little shit or something, and I'm the "beginning" of the problem because I'm the first one in my family to be born around the time Autism was accepted as a disorder?

>If there is a treatment it will probably be a treatment and not a cure. Gene therapy is really far off and the problem with ASD is that it is a developmental disorder. The brain develops throughout childhood and something goes wrong in ASD during this stage usually around 1-3 years of age.
Is there a generally accepted set of problems in the brain that you guys have? Like, without knowing what exactly is wrong with my genes, could you give a reasonable guess as to what's wrong with me, and potentially what makes my brain different from someone without Autism?

>The more we learn about the genetics of ASD, the more we know what proteins and biochemical pathways to make drugs for. This is the ultimate goal of my research, but I'm on the discovery end.
Very good shit m8, keep going. Maybe one day I can have kids without having them obtain this pile of shit disorder.

absolutely.

My mom was 40 when she had me and I speak with a monotone and might have a touch of the tism.

My aunt had a kid at like 41 too and that girl is a little off

>it's mainly a diagnosis to deflect comments on abysmal child rearing and to keep the psychology mill turning

This was my initial thought. Is it known for sure that behavioral therapy alone is insufficient to treat it?

There's a girl I know who's actually very cute, but she's so fucking stupid and acts so oddly that I'm pretty sure she is autistic, primarily because her parents did have her at such an old age.

Doesn't help that they were massive, non-interventionist hippies that let her do whatever she want, so she classifies herself as a 'nudist' on top of everything else.

Cred Forums improved my grammar and spelling more than school did because I was tired of being called a faggot when i was 14 and on Cred Forums

Maybe autists wouldn't be such laughing stocks if they weren't Marxist supporter shit eating animals. And this is coming from someone with Asperger's.

Hey look Guys, it's a circus freak that supports Commie Sanders.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and the only problem I have is social stuff. I'm also more intelligent than the majority of Cred Forums because I'm a Hillary supporter.

Yes, but he was from the future, so he should be here now.

It think my dad got one in his 50's, he didn't really believe that either of us had it, but it's obvious if you spend a bit of time with him. My parents are divorced btw.
It has to be easier for children though. It's a developmental disorder that cause strange cases of mental and social growth among children. I scored an IQ of 164 as a toddler; people call me a genius all the time, but the autism and ADHD combined pretty much cancel it out when it comes to getting shit done.
If you have trouble paying attention for more and several minutes and sometimes become hyperactive, you might have ADHD.

I dont want to work and want NEET bucks. Trump would put me to vote.

The thing is, I've met people like the ones in your videos, and I actually very much understand them in a way that I don't "get" normal people. A girl I used to date had a severely autistic older brother who was like the kid in your second video, and it honestly kind of made me uncomfortable how much he resonated with me and was into the same shit as I was.

Particularly the meltdowns. I want to scream and flip the fuck out and hit people, too, when I'm exposed to certain stimuli. The only difference is, I'm actually verbal and can say something like "The fabric in these socks is driving me insane" or "That noise hurts me and makes it difficult to focus."

It's weird. I honestly think I'd be a shit-smearing retard if it weren't for, like, language and around 40 IQ points, because I seriously feel like a smarter version of a shit-smearing retarded manchild.

Aspie girls can actually be super-cute. But yeah, the age thing is totally a factor. The girl I was dating with the severely autsitic brother? Her dad was like 60 or some shit when we were in high school.

Checked

I got diagnosed with autism when I was 12 years old. I was an asshole who just didn't want to be around people and wanted to keep to myself. Once I got friends in highschool they told be that it was a misdiagnosis. I'm convinced that almost everyone diagnosed with autism doesn't actually have it.

My brother and I inherited ADHD from our mother; he was spared the autism.

its a severely overdiagnosed meme, like ADHD.
Most are simply introverts or anxious extroverts, who are seen as unfit to operate under the current extrovert school and business ideal

>So there's a chance that maybe my maternal grandmother was showing minor symptoms, was written off as just being a little shit or something, and I'm the "beginning" of the problem because I'm the first one in my family to be born around the time Autism was accepted as a disorder?
Yes it could be a diagnostic thing because the definition changed and also awareness grew. More people hear about ASD and assume their kid might have it.

However there is a theory floating around in my field that is as follows
>Everyone has genetic risk for disease
>The risk is minimal. In your case maybe a 1.5X increase (just shooting numbers)
>People are born with new mutations, most are harmless
>It COULD be the case that in some ASD patients they have slight increase inherited risk, but the addition of a new damaging mutation "pushes" the risk very very high.

>Is there a generally accepted set of problems in the brain that you guys have? Like, without knowing what exactly is wrong with my genes, could you give a reasonable guess as to what's wrong with me, and potentially what makes my brain different from someone without Autism?
I'm only going to talk about ASD here, since other neurological disorders have different mechanisms (degeneration, migration, etc)

For ASD it's common to have underpruning of neurons. Toddlers have a lot of neuronal connections. When you learn how to say your ABCs, for example, the connections that help you remember the ABCs become "stronger" while the other connections that did not have this role become weaker and eventually disappear (synaptic pruning)

In ASD there is decreased pruning. However we see other brain issues like malformed corpus callosum and also mutations in gene in synapse function.

ASD is like a car in the sense that you can break the motor, or deflate the tires, or have an oil leak. But in the end you have a broken car. It's fascinating, but still largely unknown.

>>The more we learn about the genetics of ASD, the more we know what proteins and biochemical pathways to make drugs for. This is the ultimate goal of my research, but I'm on the discovery end.
>Very good shit m8, keep going. Maybe one day I can have kids without having them obtain this pile of shit disorder.

Thanks m8.

Absolutely. Even in the future you could probably screen your sperm to only retain the ones without ASD risk mutants. However this means you might have to use a turkey baster to get your wife preggers.

Aspies not voting for Trump ITT are giving us a bad name. I have no friends and live with my mum but I'm still voting for him. MAGA

>Is it known for sure that behavioral therapy alone is insufficient to treat it?

What? Are you seriously proposing to mentally abusing a special needs child with stern and consistent parenting?! Hellloooooowww, the 50s called, they want their obsolete ideas back, like, omg this is really problematic

meh the problem is that the sperm or DNA has to survive in the womb. For some animals that already have sperm selection (like mice can reject sperm I think or store it) this would explain this phenomena.

In humans you would probably have to have sex with two men around the same time frame for this to happen

I'm a scientist so I won't completely discount it in humans, but we need more studies.

increased awareness of ASD + broader diagnostic categories.

ASD incidence is 1%. Also they count the prevalence which includes already counted cases. What you want is the incidence which is new cases.

But I'm diagnosed with aspergers, and would routinely provoke people like that into fits back in highschool because it was funny.

I said nothing about mental abuse. Multiple anons said they are helped by candid criticism. It's a simple observation. Try thinking about it.

No intelligent people support Trump. Just look at the celebrities that support him; Hulk Hogan and those rednecks from Duck Dynasty. Trump is the candidate of dumb people.

its called having an iq over 110

It's possible though and it kinda makes since. It's not in a girl's nor her child's best interest to be a roastie.

>Not understanding sarcasm

I thought I really made that obvious. Not obvious enough for you, sadly

Also, I don't understand sarcasm. I must be autistic too.

It's caused by women having kids as dried up old hags.

problem is that there are already large whole genome data sets of parents and their children.

if there is a segment of DNA in the kids that not in the parents (and if it were observed in more than one case) then it would have been published already.

I'm just thinking skeptically user.

Also it is the case that we see dads that are cucked and their kid is not theirs....

C'mon now, we all know Bernie was the true Autist's candidate. Any autists supporting Trump are wanna be autists.

Kek, it's okay my dear fast food connoisseur friend, we all have our bad days.

Not understanding sarcasm is literally a symptom of autism though, but I think that's only the case in irl conversations

if there is a segment of DNA in the kids that not in the parents (and if it were observed in more than one case) then it would have been published already.
to continue. this is my thesis. finding mutations in the kid that are not in the parents. So if telogeny happened I would have noticed it myself (in over 700 families)

>see everyone on social media glorifying autism
>actually knoew an autistic child (He's nearing 30, now)
>every sunday at church, his stupid fuck mother would bring him
>he would rock back and fourth throughout the service
>go into little autistic fits every 15 minutes or so and slap the fuck out of his mother

That's real autism. It isn't a "spectrum". You aren't autistic because you get the sweats in front of your speech 101 class.

Hey I don't mind the skepticism. I just hope it turns out to be true. Roasties will be BTFO.

since there are so many different genes involved in the ASD label, is it accurate to say that, not only is autism heritable, but the specific "brand" of autism is, as well? i.e. as a high-functioning aspie 140IQ fuck my kids would have a higher likelihood of also being high-functioning 140IQ fucks instead of low IQ tards, correct?

oops was meant for this

Noticed my error immediately after clicking post. Should eat less pic related.

yep.

As more ASD genetic research occurs the more syndromic cases we find. Like Kabuki for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki_syndrome

If you are a high functioning aspie with 140IQ your kids will have a higher risk of having a similar phenotype. But it could be the case that they become normies.

If you are a female then the risk is significant if you have a son.

It's probably that cheese surrogate. I like to make American style burgers from scratch, but I always use real Dutch cheese. It tastes a whole lot less like fatty mush, whilst retaininh the same amount of glorious lardiness.

It's a meme. On one hand you have just another name for literal drooling retards. Then you have the "high functioning" "autists" which usually just means people that aren't good socially (which in my case comes from lack of exposure/inclination).

They say I have ADHD, Tourettes, ODD and high functioning autism.

I say i'm just a kid that was given a computer at a young age and was raised by a single mother.

Yes using psychoactive drugs on a kid who hasn't fully developed yet should be the last LAST resort. I was put on about 8 dofferent drugs before I was 10, amd it ended finally with topamax amd risperdal, the latter not even being an actual approved drug when I was prescribed it. It mainly stemmed from my parents being socorced and my mother wanting me as docile as inhumanly possible. After I stopped taking it, at about 14, I felt no different. The over prescription comes from teachers who are encouraged to report kids as being to "hyperactive" or "obstructive" otherwise known as "being a child amoung children" and doctors who are sponsored by the companies who create the drugs they prescribe. If you see a doctor who has notepads and pens for a drug, say adderal, you're going to be prescribed adderal. Lazy, inept teachers, parents unwilling to help their children personally, and greedy doctors are the three main factors for over prescription in my opinion, and thank god I never grew man titties cause that's what risperdal caused for a lot of boys, because it was still a drug in testing. It also caused severe muscular dystrophy in other cases.

>In the age of the internet we must shed our social lives, it is not needed anymore.

Divorced not sococered, damn my big fingers and this small cell phone keyboard

Who is the professional GET-roller?

So is there any hope, long or short term of fixing it at the genetic level? Or are you stuck with it.

Can we fix parts of it and keep them"high functioning"

Any INFP autists here?

It really sucks to be an autist who's bad at math and science, because those are the things everyone expects you to be naturally good at.

Ok, so easy to explain.

We have Level 99 Autists here.

CTR shills have seen the power of our Autism, so they have begun to hire Autistic people too.

Except they are no match for our Autists.

CTR shills hover around Lvl 25 Max.

The only ones that I have seen that even come close are the R_Donald ones, but they have a LVL capped at around 25-50.

As you can see, they are no match for us either.

That is why they fear us, we are beyond what they can comprehend.

currently no.

But there are drugs that are being currently developed to treat (not cure) certain ASD symptoms.

ASD is a developmental disorder. The brain does not develop correctly during the first years of life.

You can't reverse this process. You could fix the mutation early in the womb, but we are decades from this.

Autism is a lazy way of grouping a wide range of developmental disabilities together. It's the new 'retarded'.

Many autists are actually facing real problems. Functional people claiming to have autism when it's really just social anxiety or something are the scum of the earth.

We have been blessed in this thread.

Also heard Autism speaks steals from their 'charitable donations' or something.

in this pic the family got fucked. Two males with ASD but one has a new mutation in a different gene than the one with the inherited NRXN1 mutation.

Women can be protected from some mutations for ASD and we don't know why exactly. Probably epigentics.

But in a male child this mutation is serious risk, and mutations in Neurexin 1 (NRXN1) are associated in schizophrenia too.

could it be fixed within the next, say, 150 years?

I too am blessed

autism speaks is a piece of shit. Every one in the ASD research field hates them. Fucking fags.

My boss got into a twitter argument with one of the founders of Autism Speaks. He's a little off too, kinda like Trump but way less successful.

It is one more technical psychological term which has entered popular culture and so lost all meaning.

Other exanples include OCD, ADD, phobia, paranoia, and many, many more. Just taking an interest in some activity or idea is now enough to be declared on the autistic spectrum by the wider society.

Does this infer they are more prone to these types of mutations, even if not expressed in the parents? You mentioned the more mutations in the parents, the more likely the children get ASD. Does it skip generations?

Fixing mutations in embryos will probably happen much later in our lifetimes. I'm around 25 so I think by the time I'm 65 or 70 this would happen for things like ASD.

In the next 10-20 years diseases that are Mendelian (one gene mutation) will be CRISPRed out of the population.

Like it or not we are entering a new age of "eugenics" but it's not going to be racially charges (yet?)

You forgot to capitalize the letter i

in this case I think the parents had increased genetic burden to the tipping point where both their kids were ASD. If they had another the chances would be really high

We also have a Spanish Cohort, for this one family all 5 children had ASD. I assume they are good Catholics and don't use birth control. They definitely had high burden and maybe even some ASD like tenancies.

Women can take on more burden and pass it to their sons that are more likely to get ASD. It could skip generations in rare cases if you consider inherited burden + de novo events + recombination. (Like you have a deck of cards with 10 bad mutations, you shuffle them once and get 5, then add a new deck (spouse) with 7 bad cards. Shuffle again and split into two. Then you get fucked because you got 11 bad cards)

I read once that autism is somewhat contagious. Any truth to that?

I don't think autism is questioning social taboos. Legalization activists and gay rights people questioned social taboos.

Autism is not knowing which social taboos to question.
>Why can't I dry my hands off on that sweatshirt you had hanging up? There wasn't a towel in your bathroom!
>what do you mean you're mad I sat on your cat? it didn't die!
that sort of thing.

Very interesting. It's a bit scary that we all have that uncle or aunt that was a little off and likely have other unknown "burdens" swimming around in our gene pools that may have never been diagnosed. When do you defend? I finished my PhD almost 3 years ago in engineering.

Sounds like you have PTSD and not autism.

I do my quals this November. My lab is in dire straights (no grant) so I'm currently funded for one more year. So I'll probably defend around then. I want to write one more paper and peace out to a better lab.

What was your thesis and any tips for writing/defending?

My thesis was on nondestructive evaluation. Ultrasound, xrays, same stuff they use for people but use it at higher powers for quality control and damage monitoring.

Be very thorough in your literature review, do not skimp on this. Worst case you find something done 5 years ago too similar to what you've done. Publish all you can in good journals. Choose your committee very carefully.

>teachers who are encouraged to report kids
public normie daycare schools are minefields for gifted aspie kids, I'll never forget the spiteful blackhearted powertripping cunt that got the ball rolling in my case. I honestly can't remember most of the drugs I was prescribed, the worst bit was getting institutionalized and being treated as a drug combo guinea pig for a year. I managed to dodge most of the fucked up long term side effects, minus a slight essential tremor and minor pseudo gyno that isn't noticeable when i'm fit. The whole experience nearly made me go full Molyneux and disown my family, I don't think I'll ever stop being bitter about it. Some people truly want to believe that shitty life circumstances can be solved with pills, but the pills and "special attention" do more harm than good in a lot of cases.

And ffs start writing and documenting in the correct format yesterday.

cool thanks for the advice. I always respond to ASD threads in Cred Forums when I see them :^)

i need to do this more

It's supposed to have something to do with inflammation in the womb, caused by diet/exercise/age.

>checking your own digits

I have the 4chanX extension that shows dubs

it's not as autistic as it sounds

>I suppose it's partially thanks to this site that I improved so much. When I said stupid cringe shit here, people called me a stupid edgy attention-seeking autist, which surprisingly helped me learn how to not be that.

You mean Cred Forums actually served a useful social purpose?

Holy Fuck!

Devil in the details

This is why people hate leftists. As a former leftist cuck, I can tell you that cucks always think they have a monopoly on intelligence when they don't. There are smart people who support Trump, and plenty of dumbfucks who support Hillary.

Surprising number of anons said this.

Was diagnosed with High functioning aspergers and ADHD when I was 15 but I honestly think that both were misdiagnosed. Sure I was a tad awkward, but what teenage boy isn't? Besides I was 15, so my brain wasn't even fully developed. If you have an Aspergers of HFA diagnosis then the odds are that you're just shy, something speed will greatly help with.

>There are smart people who support Trump
Like who?

seriously though, thanks for taking the time, I learned a lot.
this thread unironically really made me think

no problem always glad to clear up any misconceptions or answer any questions

>post confirms level 88 autist

As a father of a 10 year old Autistic son I'll share my opinion. My son is considered severely autistic as even now at the age of 10 has virtually no language skills whatsoever. He is also still in diapers. He is never violent in anyway and is quite good at conveying his needs non verbally. Quite loving in nature actually as he seems to lack the "mean streak" normies typically have. Actually quite pleasant to be around. However he loves to mess with everything (seriously, fucking everything). Usually to incite a response for attention when everyone is busy with their own concerns. That messing with stuff can become quite destructive at times. I have had to by a $1K projector in lieu of a panel display as he broke our first 62" set.

I do believe there is a strong genetic component involved as my paternal side aunt had aspergers (imho, doctors of the time thought it was something else). But in my living experience he was born normal, progressing normally untill a round of vaccines including but not limited to the MMR. Immediately after this his behavior changed completly. He lost what little language he had built, and his eyes began to look in different directions. Motor coordination also began to fall away. I am not anti-vax, just think that some children who may be geneticly predisposed for the condition can be injured by the massive amounts of vaccines administered so early in life. I love my son as much as any father possibly could, just kill me that I can't talk to him or ever know whats on his mind, kinda huts man.

Just mho.

There seems to be plenty of anecdotal evidence like yours but it has still not been substantiated en masse. I hope they get it figured out re vaccines, but i think you are reasonable in thinking there could be a subset of people who inordinately affected.

Do you think people are justified in refusing vaccines?

Satan, you reveal yourself more than God.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign_endorsements,_2016

...

Ultimate redpill - bad parenting. Harsh, but likely true for this highly overdiagnosed condition.

if my parents weren't ready at all times to call me out and potentially beat my ass, there's no way I'd even be close to functional

I'm thankful that they understood when I needed to be disciplined- and that they did so without getting angry or belligerent

it was immeasurably helpful

for the record, was absolutely posting ironically

Untill more substantial evidence is made available I firmly believe in the rights of individuals to make decisions for themselves. Spacing I believe is a reasonable solution. As leaving out silly ones, like chicken pox. The amount of vaccines pumped in children these days is just insane!

Total BS. I believed this at one time but life has proven otherwise. The outcome of the child with ASD however is very dependent on parenting, as with any other child.

Autastic...

Actually celebrating a birth defect as something to celebrate.

That's as bad as the villages in India celebrating as Gods kids born with 6 arms or three heads.

Seriously, what the fuck. Society has gone from promoting excellence and trying to minimize abnormality, to exactly the opposite.

oh shit u right

I don't think they are doing the opposite, ie trying to maximize abnormalities. They are trying encourage acceptance of unavoidable abnormalities, which may have the unfortunate side effect of normalizing abnormalities, particularly those that are avoidable.

In other words, an improper association of avoidable and unavoidable behaviors.

Many people with autistic children still believe vaccines played a role. They'll often say their child was perfectly normal until their vaccines.

It's sort of taboo to admit it publicly. But a lot of them still feel this way.

there is actually not a huge rise in the number of autistic people, mostly they used to be diagnosed as mentally retarded instead

I used to be pretty cringy in my teenage years, thank God internet wasn't a thing back then and my mom and older brother kept warning me not to act so damn cringy.

>speed
What are you taking?

So maybe the rise is a good thing. If it isn't environmental and is a real disorder, they're getting proper treatment now rather than just being called a retard and getting written off.

I used to be like you user, until my dad told me to educate myself and get a job or GTFO.
I used to hate my dad back then, but now I know he was right, what I truly needed was a wake-up call.

Either way shit's fucked

I have an uncle which I believe to have autism, he was never married, always on odd jobs and is now a loner who spend his last days drinking heavily.

This. In all honesty, I was diagnosed with PDD NOS (some retarded container term, the NOS actually stands for 'not otherwise specified') when I was about 10, because I had some, well, ' special' obsessions and my teacher reported me. It was before that whole Adderall epidemic so I was not medicated, luckily. I had to go to a government psychological institution weekly, and what I saw there was horrifying. A small 'class' of absolute basket cases where I was thrown in. Apart from one or two actual retards, they were very obviously just badly raised boys (no girls, because it's mostly boyish behaviour which is considered unwanted, which is a whole other immense problem).

I did learn from this, but not in the way they wanted to. I learned that I needed to adapt and not display certain behaviour in order to function. I became very aware of myself and this has helped me immensely, although it did make be a bit calculating as a side effect, I guess. I have since developed an active social life and I told some close friends I was diagnosed with this, the fact I needed to tell them did somewhat confirm that I succeeded in 'curing' myself. PDD NOS has since been scrapped from the DSM so I'm officially not autistic anymore. Although, I'm still on Cred Forums, so I wouldn't contend people taking that with a grain of salt.

Cred Forums made me better at arguing.

I love meeting other social rejects IRL though, they are by far much more interesting than any normalfag.

Autism is mental sovereignty.
Absolute masculinity =
Ultimate Potential

Yea same here. I'm supposed to be super autistic but I have a wife and middle class job.

Granted my wife isn't hot by Cred Forums standards and I'm in IT, but I still think the whole autism thing is overrated.

So in other words, you're a normie.

Sounds like you were just a nerdy kid. The world's full of them.

kek

It has something to do with Sonic the Hedgehog, flailing and clapping.

Yeah man working IT and braggin to pol, you definitely not autistic

I have not seen a single libertarian autist. They have all been like a retarded version of Mussolini who can't enforce any of their utterly fucktarded behavior to be the "norm" and thus throw tantrums

>Apart from one or two actual retards, they were very obviously just badly raised boys (no girls, because it's mostly boyish behaviour which is considered unwanted, which is a whole other immense problem).

This just sounds like working life.

Literally everyone is a little autistic, which means it's stupid to even classify it unless someone is actually debilitated.

I was diagnosed with PDD NOS as well. Its basically "you have some traits of Aspergers, but not enough to call you full blown"

I feel like I'm high-functioning enough to do things on my own, but not enough to do well at any kind of job or social setting

Yeah, this shock therapy really helped me a lot, more than you could imagine. I work in a factory, so quite a blue collar environment (with A-quality blue collar banter), but I also studied at university and I'm active in politics (rat's nests of pedantry), it's really quite easy to switch between environments if you know how. If I wasn't thrown in the autist's den at an early age, I might have been a whole lot less flexible and even unironically autistic, socially speaking.

Autism doesn't exist. What you call an autist is a crystal child.

The Crystal children began to appear on the planet from about 1990-2010, although a few scouts came earlier. Their main purpose is to take us to the next level in our evolution and reveal to us our inner and higher power. They function as a group consciousness rather than as individuals, and they live by the “Law of One” or global oneness. They are also advocates for love and peace on this planet.

They are mostly born into the Gold Ray of Incarnation and Evolution, which means they have access to gifts of clairvoyance and healing. They are born on the sixth dimension of consciousness, with the potential to open up rapidly to the ninth dimensional level of full Christ consciousness, and then from there to the thirteenth dimension, which represents universal consciousness.

Crystal children’s auras aren’t specifically opalescent, but are octarine, which is a color that isn’t in the normal visual range of human eyes, but is the manifest color of high magic, and on another color octave entirely. They have beautiful pastel hues to them. To the untrained eye, it appears to be without color at all, therefore Crystal, but the extremely high frequency of the energy field is what gives it away.

The first thing you will recognize about Crystal children is their forgiving nature. They are very sensitive, warm, and caring. Don’t mistake these characteristics as a sign of weakness as Crystal children are also very powerful.

why do you work in a factory if youre educated? temp job?

"autism" is the result of cultural brainwashing

combined with a rejection of hedonism

>autism doesn't exist

I've never seen someone disprove himself so thoroughly and so directly

Yes, I'm doing my master's next year but I want to have some financial reserves because the master's I want to do is only teached in Leiden so I'll have to move and I don't want to live as a poorfag there.

That L85 is such a sexy gun.

Ikr? I'm seriously considering copying this painting. It's one of the most beautiful non-classic paintings I ever laid eyes on.

>I have difficulty interpreting body language, and my body language is hard to consciously control.

interpreting body language can be considered sociopathic

most people are creeped out by eye contact, so "we" are nice and dont make eye contact

What do autistic think of the parents who don't want autism cured? I've read their blogs and articles where they say they don't want it cured because it's a part of their personality, and not something to BE cured. However, then I read stories from people with autism who can a cure and hate it. It's always struck me as a misery loves company, and they don't want to admit they drew the short straw. Any thoughts?

I was so busy fapping to it I accidentally linked your post twice.

I personally like art work with 'painting' style.

>-I have difficulty interpreting body language
>kids stay indoors on computers instead of going outside and interacting with other kids.
>not allowed to play games at school because of "muh finger gun" or "sexual harassment" by 7 year olds
>boys are prevented from doing anything that appears to promote masculine stereotypes
>being taught that "eye rape" is a thing

You aren't autistic, you're just socially awkward because you weren't allowed to learn how to interact with other people.

or maybe kids who share the same DNA as their parents take on the charectoristic aspects of one of their parents

introverted mothers who would be considred "normal female" influence their sons whom they have good relations with

when the boy starts taking on his mothers traits he is considered "autistic"

it comes down to sheltering, not being a moma's boy or concerned about making your mother sad

especially if she is a loving conservative one, compared to "normal" liberal mothers who have spawned this generations SJWs and femenists

This

You can't cure it, you can only choose to adapt and behave in a socially acceptable way in public.

Because that's what autism usually is, a choice. You can choose to put in effort to become less autistic and change yourself, or you can choose to fall for the "just be yourself" meme and expect other people to put up with you, which they won't. Sure, it sucks to not be able to express your true feelings about an obscure interest of yours to a poor sod pretending to listen, but it's a very worthwhile sacrifice.

Having friends who share some of the same interests helps a great deal too, of course.

Its like a dystopic future

there is a reason Autists are into conspiracies, we have lived them

Oh my god, I think I have autism

If you were actually autistic, you'd know it's #ImWithHer

the "crystal children" are appearing because 1990-early 2000s wis when humanity went through the mass technology revolution

they crystal children have already been born and no more will come unless there is a sudden shift in humanity regarding collapse of civilization or space travel

High functioning autism is just another word for bad parenting.

Low functioning is a real mental sickness tho.

Autism is real and is not a joke.

Two months ago I was diagnosed with stage six terminal autism, and the doctors say I only have a few months to live. I find it very offensive when anyone questions the existence of this terrible condition.

just drink carrot juice you faggot don't believe the meme doctors

and baking soda, loots and lots of baking soda

I have aspergers, I know I do a lot of weird things. When I get excited I squint and flap my fingers in front of my eyes. I love aircraft and military vehicles and spend countless hours studying them. When I was a kid I would do bizarre things and get made fun of. I was bullied but it made me try and be more normal. I still do autistic things but I really try and do them in private.

Yeah, but actual oil paint looks even better. One positive aspect of "autism" is that I'm able to concentrate very deeply for extended periods of time, so painting comes quite easy.

Question for all autists:

I don't know any autismals so I wanted to know if when your leader or e-celeb or whatever Chris Chan became a tranny did you guys feel the need to follow in his footsteps or does autism naturally follow this progression?

Only unbridled autism does. When effort is not put in to stop autism by parents, school and the autist him/herself, or when it is even promoted because be yourself yolo, it will degenerate into fullblown, incurable mental illness. Stern parenting, social pressure/control and bullying are essential for this, but sadly these things are now discarded as old fashioned and undesirable.
