What the hell is a cusp?

I was born in April, which is mid-spring. I really do not think which month you were born in affects Autism. I know loads of people and some were born in spring, some were born in summer, some were born in autumn and some were born in winter.

In the modern use of the word in an astrological context, cusps are the borders between signs or houses.

Hi Jp896....there's one thing I always say, you're never alone in being alone.
And you're a Pisces - me too.

Illusory correlation is the phenomenon of seeing the relationship one expects in a set of data even when no such relationship exists. When people form false associations between membership in a statistical minority group and rare (typically negative) behaviors, this would be a common example of illusory correlation.[1] This happens because the variables capture the attention simply because they are novel or deviant. This is one way stereotypes form and endure. David Hamilton and Terrence Rose (1980) found that stereotypes can lead people to expect certain groups and traits to fit together, and they overestimate the frequency of when these correlations actually occur.[2] People overestimate the core association between variables such as stereotyped groups and stereotypic behavior.[3]

Is that somewhat like Schrodinger's cat?

I have my own theory of quantum possibilities: That is, if I believe it may be possible, then it's possible that it may be possible.

Although I wouldn't be dismayed if my current horrorscope is incorrect. It says something about moving this year, and I can't even begin to deal with the idea of moving right now. :wink:

Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory (TV Show): "For the record, that psychotic rant was a concise summation of the research of Bertram Forer, who, in 1948, proved conclusively through meticulously designed experiments that astrology is nothing but pseudoscientific hokum."

Astrology is nothing more that pseudo-scientific nonsense.

Poll and logic say nope, not at all.

And I bet almost no people in the ASD believe in this.

That has nothing to do with Schrodinger's cat at all...
It's psychology, not quantum mechanics.
