Where do you think we aspies and auties descended from?

Take your pick:

1. Our Parents.

2. Humans.

3. Ape-like Creatures.

4. Lemur-like Creatures.

5. Shrew-like Creatures.

6. Early Mammals.

7. Early Reptiles.

8. Early Amphibians.

9. Early Fishes.

10. Early Polyps.

11. Early Bacteria.

12. Primordial Slime.

From Pirates.. DUR!!

Sheesh!! haven't you ever read the Gospell of the Flying Spaghetti monster??

I pick number 12.

Cave people.

Social skills evolved as a survival mechanism in humans. It once served to protect us from wild animals and helped us to survive in harsh climates.
Now that we don't have to battle that any longer, we don't need real social skills as much. That is my latest theory.

Spontaneous decay of an unnecessary trait would not be expected under non-Lamarckian theory, and Lamarckianism is rejected by every modern scientist that I know of. The principles of use/disuse and inheritance of acquired characteristics have not been borne out by empirical studies.

I am a creationist.

Basically aspies were created by an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good deity named Jeffey. Well, Jeffey, being a smart deity created the world in a week, and in doing this, he created the Garden of Evan, and placed the first woman, Lizzy, in the garden. Well, Lizzy was lonely, so Jeffey tore a hole in her crotchal region and used it to make the first man: Joe. Well, that whole process was incredibly painful for Lizzy, and Joe saw that, and for some reason this created a hyper sensitivity of Joe towards his crotchal region. Well, anyway, the 2 people, Joe and Lizzy were happy, but then Jeffey told them not to eat the orangutan of moral knowledge, and then Lizzy asked "Well, how are we to know not to eat the orangutan of moral knowledge, if we do not have the moral knowledge to know not to", Jeffey then shrugged, and got some popcorn. Then an overgrown earthworm came out to tell Joe to go eat the orangutan. Well, Joe, being male and therefore more stupidly aggressive than Lizzy went out and hunted the creature down, and then took a big old bite out of it, and part of it stuck in his throat. Lizzy then joined Joe and ate part of the dead creature after being urged to do so by Joe. Jeffey then showed up and said "WTF guys! You ate my orangutan! Now I am cursing you and stuff!" and so Jeffey kicked Joe and Lizzy out of the garden and then cursed Joe and Lizzy. He let Joe have to suffer for his stupidity, which is why a lot of male teens/young adults die for stupid reasons, and he made Lizzy have to submit to patriarchal rule as a punishment for her following Joe, which is why women shouldn't vote and should just shut up and do chores for their husbands. And well... Joe and Lizzy were the only 2 people that Jeffey created, so a *lot* of inbreeding had to occur, therefore, we get a majestic pageant of variations, such as AS, double-jointed-ness, and schizophrenia.

So, THAT'S how AS came to be!

AG, congrats. You have done the impossible: posted a message so ridiculous, even Aspies must realize that you are sarcastic.

Heh, interesting choice wasn't it?

If it's not selected against and there is no bottleneck event, a trait will not disappear from the genome for no reason. A tail may have been an impediment to bipedalism.

I just want to say that I thought of my theory today so I'm not stuck on it and trying to prove myself right. I just find it interesting that humans have endured so many brain mutations in a relatively short amount of time. As time goes on, progress speeds up and we have more brain anomalies than ever.

The evolution of the human brain has also created many mental illnesses. I think autism and schizophrenia may be bi-products of the natural drive to encourage more creativity and bring forth more genius. One person can change an entire culture so it is to our advantage to take the good with the bad.
In other words, there is greatness that comes from the refined side of autism and other mental illnesses. It is well reported that genius is more prevalent in the autists, manic depressants, and psychotic breaks have inspired creativity such as in the case with Van Gogh.

I think we descended along with the rest of the human lot. We are apes and all life on earth came from water originally. No wait, we all came from volcanic residue, no we came from the stars, but really we came from God.

See, the shape-shifting Reptilians from Alpha Draconis are involved in a plot against humanity, and everyone knows that the super-secret Illuminati have designs for world domination. Aspies are actually the bastard children of Reptilians and Illuminati, and our supernatural powers are too powerful to be controlled, leading to our social awkwardness as we are unable to integrate properly into a society composed of mere mortals.
