Real cause of Asperger Syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

If you say that you’ve discovered the cause of something through research, you are obligated to share that research if you want people to believe you or take you seriously. It’s not picking on you; it’s just how it is.

Otherwise, I could say that my research has proven that we were brought to Earth by aliens, and I would expect you to believe me without evidence.

The burden of proof rests on the person making the claim.

I want to see how your “intense research” regarding autism and astrology holds up to scrutiny.

Under both anecdotal and scientific scrutiny, I doubt very much that it can be "proven" that being under a certain astrological sign creates a predisposition towards acquiring an autism spectrum disorder.

For the most part, under the present definition, a person is born either with autism, or a predisposition towards acquiring autism under some sort of environmental stress which occurs during infancy.

I have some reason to believe my father might have been on the spectrum. In fact he might have found that drinking improved his ability to connect with people and that's how he became alcoholic while I was a pre-schooler.

Other more distant family members might have been on the spectrum too.

My mom had hepatitis during her pregnancy. I was born three weeks early. But she was only 20 when I was born, and my dad was 24.

Thus most of the OP's claims do NOT apply to me and like others here have pointed out, star signs don't count at all when it comes to determining the causes of autism or Asperger's.

My mother smoked. And she had what was termed "neuroses" in the 1960s.

My brother came out NT; I came out autistic.

My mom had a normal pregnancy and took no medications.

Autism runs in my family. 4 of us, that I know of, are diagnosed, and I suspect others have it.

My mom, my son, and my nephew are all diagnosed.

Weird circumstances in this thread ….. So my concepts of Astrology , is merely coincidental to my life .
But when some some things like the tides of the Ocean rising , Under Lunar influence . And the observation
Of how subtle that influence is to the entirety of the Ocean. Have to wonder what other Subtlies Planetery
influences might generate with their far off Magnetic fields.. then the old adage about so much if the earths surface being covered in water .And onto humans being 75% water , I have read . Does give me pause to think on these things .

Okay, I did the maths myself.  The force of gravity from an Earth-like world 4.37 light-years away is about 2.1^-20 times 1G, or about 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,002,11G at the surface of the Earth.  That's 2.11 sextillionth of 1G.  The magnitude of an imaginary force from the same distance would simply be zero.

Even the obstetrician who delivers the child turns out to have about six times the gravitational pull of Mars and about two thousand billion times its tidal force. The doctor may have a lot less mass than the "Red Planet", but he or she is a lot closer to the baby!

the planets/stars/nodes et al do NOT have a direct physical influence on earthlings. they merely are heavenly signposts up ahead suggesting the existence of a subtle universal schedule of energy that so far nobody this side of the twilight zone has been able to limn.
