AS -- the purest form of a human being?

Post Reply New Topic

Yes, all of you have something in common, and we are here to learn from each other. In that case, we become smarter every day and enlighten ourselves with such information. We, as people with AS, grow in this manner.

You know, sometimes i really wish it was that simple.

The way we go about that is rather interesting.

Actually, I wish it were that simple too. I just listed a few traits. Heck, I don't even know what all the traits of AS are...

How we handle it is "childlike," not "childish." We don't mean to act like children, but the way we seem to interact with people sure is like that. For example, we tend to interrupt people when they talk about a subject of interest. This shows exactly how we heighten our intelligence. We just can't seem to wait to decipher a certain point about something, and this backs up a certain obsession that we as people with AS have.

I think that Conservativeness might also be a Trait. Maybe it's just me, though.

As an Adolecent, I became obsessed with London, while most people my age were becomming obsessed with The Opposite Sex. I haven't changed, since than.

Don't be cruel. I know it might be offensive to hear posts like, "Aspies better than NT's because of some and such reason." But you don't have to insult them when you explain to them you disagree.

Absolutely!

Oh, I take things literally all the time. Tell me a joke. I'll think you mean it.

Well personally I subscribe to the theory of evolution and according to that theory you can't really think about organisms as being pure or not. In terms of evolution we may be a failure because we are not surviving very well. Although it has been too soon to decide whether or not we have failed as a mutation(if that is infact what we are).

Besides the theory of evolution it seems to me that AS have a whole bunch of really helpful, productive tendancies that would if we replaced NT's as the dominant variety of human would allow the human race as a whole to better achieve(but not reach in a snap) its own values. But that is probably just because i AM an aspergers and I believe the way aspergers live is the better way. Which i know is just a value judgement.

Although as can be seen in this world, forum, and this very thread that plenty of misunderstandings occur, plenty of people hurt each other, there is a lot of room for improvment if genetics does indeed play a signifigant role in peoples general behavioral tendancies. So according to a CERTAIN set of values AS can be consider the thus-far purest human beings. But it seems to me that the most pure human being according to say, those values, is a long way from where we are.

I think that AS and autism are symptoms of a genetic mutation or series of mutations which may have an exciting or tragic future in this world. Unfortunately I'll probably be dead before I see either thing happen.

Understood.

Does anyone want to list all the traits of AS? After this long while, I would absolutely love to know.

Thanks for sharing your opinion; I can understand what you are talking about, but that doesn't necessarily make it wholly correct.

1) I've never had a problem lieing. Maybe when I was younger, but I sure can tell lies these days. I think the only problem we really face is when someone asks our opinions on something.

2) I am not necessarily inherently nice. I'm not sure where you came up with this. As a matter of a fact, Aspies are known to become relatively cruel sometimes. If this mainly comes from genes and uncontrollabe chemicals in the brain or social stress, just depends on the person.

3) Aspies usually only take things too literally when they haven't been told that they do. ONce someone with AS knows they have AS, this trait seems to dissapear after a few months. This is mainly because (just guessing), they consciously work on not taking things too literally.

I WONDER IF THIS WOULD CLEAR THINGS UP FOR YOU GUYS A LITTLE

Ok we need to address this in a scientific way, like how Aspies like to do. We are a science oriented people. One thing about science is that, science and truth are both allies. It is counter productive to use lies to advance the progress of your chosen scientific field whether it is Mathematics , Engineering, computer , or Biology.

Could you imagine how mathematics would be hold back if mathematicians lied about mathematical formula and sums (456 * 9 =8). How could that be progress?

Politics and Religion are the domains of NT, lying cheating, manipulating conquering are a trait needed to succeed in these fields, while those would be weaknesses in the domain of science. If something succeeds for them then they continue to believe in it regardless of whether it is scientific fact or not. Example in order to keep the population in order you can threaten them with the fear of going to hell, or you can reword them with everlasting paradice. Most NT believes in this and historically it has worked well in order to keep the population in order so it became the TRUTH OF THE UNIVERSE and these beliefs are involving all of the time to adapt it its environment, the evolution of lies.
