What is your general stance on science...

with respect to autism?

I'm kinda purposefully leaving it open-ended.

Science is beneficial to autistics. Don't know what else could be said.

Science is great, as long as the scientists know what they are doing.

I don't believe it's the be-all-and-end-all.

I don't have a problem with it.

I don't understand the question at all.

In science classes, I have had several cases where I had to find out what a formula was, etc... NICE but, in real life, you should struggle to aquire all knowns FIRST, and use occams razor and reason. So, for autism, ASK the person! If that isn't possible, ask someone that has a closely related experience. If that isn't possible, ask friends and family.

Still, it is kind of surprising that they have found so much.

I loved biology in high school. Even stuff that I don't agree with, like stuff about autism, I still love reading, because it makes me feel like part of an important group, and I am after all an attention whore!

Lacking a social framework to distort it with I think we see a deeper meaning, it is the voice of the Universe.

Science is consistant, not much else is. Most things seem sound, and when explored become ragged edges, and false premises. Science is ragged edges, with a pure center of the one reality.

I do not see time as a universal constant, other than that I mostly agree.

No one understands the question, that is the fun part.

The studies are well underway for Kanner's autism but are just beginning for AS, HFA and PDD-NOS. Hopefully, more researchers will get input from people on the spectrum and correlate it with active brain scans to find out what is happening and why.

I don't really think science is a good thing per se, it is more of a tool, like any system that can be used for good or evil. It frequently gets used and abused for someone elses' agenda that is not beneficial to you. You make think its all perfect and logical, but who decides what to investigate? Someone comes up with a hypothesis on a whim, and then seeks to prove or disprove it. But the hypothesis themselves actually shape our world view, and I think we have reached a point where it may not be beneficial to investigate certain phenomena, if one gets my meaning.

Thank God for science, but it has always bored me......Give me poetry & silence.

I'd rather have the meal than the menu.

I liked science. I still do.

It's certainly better than believing we live on a 6000 year old flat Earth. At least science is brutally honest.

Science gave us electricity, which gave way to modern electronics, then computers, then the internet.


Ergo, Science gave us the internet, and is therefore Epic Win™
