The physicist never got his T shirt. In fact his attempts at explaining got the Supercollider proect cancelled. Leon Lederman, in The God Particle.
Particle Physics is easy, few particles, lots of math to confirm them. The downfall is trying to include Time and Gravity, which have nothing to do with particles.
What he did find, before the plug was pulled, was particles that come in and out of being, regroup with others, in a cosmic dance where energy becomes matter, and matter becomes energy.
The "Wave/Particle Interface." would be a great name for a night club, for in a background of much vibration, much the same thing happens.
The brain is a bit more complex, lots of backup systems, storage, and the loss of half of it has had little effect on some. Data is not encoded in one spot, function is not dependent on some area, for human self removal through human actions, shows a holographic storage that continues memory, storage, function, after a proper hospital rest.
Left and Right Brain fails because people have lost each, and still function.
Extreme Male fails because the females of Wrong Planet include a lot of girly hotties.
Intense World Syndrom fails because it only explains interaction with the world.
Neutrons, Protrons, and Electrons have an orderly world, within that world view. they consider Quarks strange.
Every particle in the universe is just seeking a place where it feels stable.
We have skulls that show millions of years of brain development, and that speeded up over the last 50,000 years. The Neo Cortex is still new, a work in progress, and something like HDTV. Picture quality is much better, once you get it to work.
Older model TVs cannot read the new signals, and the new is mostly test prototypes, no two the same. It takes time, but when the new system works, history shows it replaces the old.
Fear is behind all Universal Models, a claim that old ways will not be recycled, a stable and unchanging universe with one unchanging set of rules. Homo Erectus held the same view of Homo Sapiens.
Autism, a differance in thought and perception, can take many forms, I think much has to do with incompatible conditions in which to develop.
Burning at the stake did solve the problem till 1700, then being chained to the wall deep in the celler. Then came state supported and private cellers, lots of experiments involving ice water and electroshock, then drugs, and various ideas why this was a good thing.
The Universal Model prevailed, we torture heratics to drive out the demons and save their souls. Almost everyone agreed this was for the best.
The long lamented decline in public order and morality turned loose people who had a differance in thought and perception, and technology boomed, destroying an order that had lasted for thousands of years.
The Markrams are close to the answer, they just failed to structure the question in all of it's forms, New things are not compatable with old things. There is truth there, I grew up with a radio with two knobs, now the one in the car has ten little black buttons, many modes, and while I did shut it off, the digital clock has been flashing 12:00 for years.
rdos has it right, all ASCs are a divergence from the norm of the past, and this divergence goes in all directions. While some may share some traits,
nothing is universal.
Even a mentally colsely matched pair, will get a very different reaction from the world if one is a skinny abused teen, and the other is a hundred kilos of might, and rich.
In nature, divergence is usual when things are just not working out like they used to. Destruction of habitat, over population, gadgets with lots of buttons, paper money backed by governments, declines of most things, like food supply, the land, air, and water, do lead to a stress that causes some to have other thoughts.
This stress effects future generations, like long wars produce babies who become warriors.
We are not the problem, we are the result of past problems.
