Autism theory

Post Reply New Topic

Hi!

Some years ago there was a book published free online from Drew Mcpherson.
He's website is deleted but I still have the original work of him.

Interested? check this new site out:

Good luck reading! I like it!

If the background is distracting, copy the text and put it in a word document.

I like to hear of your opinion!

You have to like buddhistic philosophy a little thought.

Interesting document.

...but he makes lots of generalisations of aspies that clearly is not true, like that everyone is generous and not selfish and that we have no empathy, this is a load of BS. I'm guessing the author is not autistic him/herself? "If you find difficulty in visualizing this, that’s ok, so do I." There is too much pseudoscience in it.

Either you are an aspie, or you are a sociopath. You cannot delvelop into a psychopath, especially an autistic one (which was the wrong name that hans Asperger gave the diagnosis). The author plays fast and loose with labels and invents new ones.


Orly? Scientists today have a hard time to detect what is an autistic mind and what is not. Its not as obvious as a reduced/defective amygdala which can be used to identify a psychopath.


This is not true, there is no evidence of genocide, but there is evidence that the neanderthals were less equipped to survive. And we have all neanderthal genes in us. I'm guessing this text is ANCIENT... I actually foresaw this before the results came in because i know something scientists generally overlook: Humans will f**k anything that moves.


I like this, but as i said earlier, he assumes that every autistic/aspie is a genious or have "superpowers". This is not true.


I'd call that person a sociopath. A psychopath is born, a sociopath is created by social factors. Also, there is no "aspergian spectrum".


The term he use would suggest a certain pathology to the ego, meaning the ego would be defective and the person would have NO ego or a defective one (maby dissasociative personality?). We have terms for this already, a narcissist or an egotist.


This i fully agree with. If people stop treating eachother like s**t, humanity will progress from it, emotionally and scientifically.


Stuff like that have more factors in it, the fact that many people live together closely because of overpopulation and crappy infrastructure, as we were not ment to. It is NOT just a chem-deficiency that trigger it.


To sum it all up:

* Aspies did not do well when humanity were chased by lions.
* Aspies do better in Silicon valley.
* If you are not taught what is right and wrong and are treated like s**t in life, you can become a sociopath.

I don't think you understand what he's writing and that is fine.

"If you find difficulty in visualizing this, that’s ok, so do I."

Four dimensial space is something almost noone can imagine except people like jacob barnett and other prodigies
look on youtube: four dimensions

Thats fine, i dont think you understand it either.

Whatever maybe I was a little bit too fast in saying that you don't understand it, but whatever, I just published this book for people who are interested.
Sorry, and thanks for you comment!

Good that you did not go into the defensive mode that i thought. I'm not criticizing you, i'm criticizing the text. And i do not necessarily disagree with everything in it.

Going into defensive mode would have been step one: Denial...

Drew William McPherson was born on December 25, 1976 in Perth, Ontario, Canada ... On September 30, 2011, Drew Mcpherson was involved in a motor vehicle accident in Halifax in which he was allegedly impaired. His southbound vehicle struck a northbound taxi resulting in the death of a passenger in the taxi. As a result of the investigation by the HRP Accident Investigation Unit and Patrol Officers, Mcpherson was arrested. He is currently incarcerated in the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility while awaiting trial. Some of the other charges MacPherson faces include dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, four counts of breach of recognizance and seven counts of breach of probation.

Is this the same person?

Okay

But I want to make a reaction on your criticism.

"Either you are an aspie, or you are a sociopath. You cannot delvelop into a psychopath, especially an autistic one (which was the wrong name that hans Asperger gave the diagnosis). The author plays fast and loose with labels and invents new ones."

That's not right. You can have autism or neurotypicalism and still become paranoid, psychotic or psychopath. A psychopath in his definition means someone who has not empathy for humans. Not the DSM meaning.

"Orly? Scientists today have a hard time to detect what is an autistic mind and what is not. Its not as obvious as a reduced/defective amygdala which can be used to identify a psychopath."

He has his own view on the literature. He is not saying anything about amygdala or something.

"This is not true, there is no evidence of genocide, but there is evidence that the neanderthals were less equipped to survive. And we have all neanderthal genes in us. I'm guessing this text is ANCIENT... I actually foresaw this before the results came in because i know something scientists generally overlook: Humans will f**k anything that moves."

Their is also a theory that homo sapiens killed neanderthalers.

"I like this, but as i said earlier, he assumes that every autistic/aspie is a genious or have "superpowers". This is not true."

No he's not. But in fact recently Markram's hypothesie that autistic individuals who can't speak have in fact a very high IQ etc.

But you criticism is fair I think. But he has a complete new vision of DSM.

No idea
But I think so yes.
But it doesn't matter.

I read "2012" and "new age of..." in the same passage and read no further.

In my experience to date, this is a reliable indicator of unalloyed bovine excreta.

That is really one of the less important part of his book, but whatever.
Thanks for commenting!
