mental illness or deviations from average?

Post Reply New Topic

Autism is a collection of personality traits which become conspicuous when they occur in ret*d people. I have a ret*d son who is autistic. I share many of his personality traits, and I don’t regret any of them. Man’s mental and emotional makeup is undergoing rapid evolution. How could they not? Our lifestyles have changed dramatically during the past few centuries. If autism is on the increase, could it be because we are becoming more independent, less conforming, less dependent upon intuitive abilities and tending more toward reason? If Man is evolving, shouldn’t we expect some of Nature’s innovations to be tentative and incomplete?
