AS and other type of humans.
I want to write a personal theory I have. Just to see if anybody has something to say about it.
"Aspies" are another form of creature than the regular human, not on the physical side, but the mind-brain one. We are on another spectrum, it's like if we are communicating at a different frequency, we really can communicate on our spectrum level, just like other NTS communicate in theirs. That's why we are hard to understand by NTS and vice-versa. NT's are the majority and the ones on control, their reality(ways of communicating and perceiving the world) is going to be imposed and accepted as normal, so when they talk about us they do it in a tone like if we are wrong. Like if they should feel pitty for us, for not being like them. For example they were doing a documentary about a guy with some kind of autism, showing his incredible calculating abilities, they did it with this feeling of treating with a sick man, when in reality he had a much superior brain than the other NTS, and a civilization of that kind of human could really be superior than the current civilization of NTs. And I think some branch of autism, probably aspergers, is going to eventually rule over every other (including "NT-ism", and we will be the next "normal way of thinking". I think this is exactly what happened with the extinction of the Neantherthals, they were eventually irradicated by humans with a different and superior way of thinking.
And they coexisted for thousands of years, so they obviously had to socialize in some way. Probably were on the lower ladder on acceptance like the AS are today. Even though at some point they probably were the dominating branch, probably by their strength.
"The Cro-Magnons must have come into contact with the Neanderthals, and are often credited with causing the latter's extinction, although modern humans seem to have coexisted with Neanderthals for up to 60,000 years in the Levant[7] and for more than 15,000 years in France[8]."
Well, what do you think heh?
I think you might have something there, but I think you are partially wrong, and allow me to explain why:
We Autistic people actually run the world, because we are superior in intellect to the NTS; we just let them believe they're running the world.
We let them put people in power who represent them, which gives them that NT feeling of having control...but who are the ones who actually keep society going by running the banks and inventing things, and keeping everything in check?
These people in power aren't *really* in power; well, they are, but they're only "in power" to make NTs feel important, as though they're in control.
We know how to work around all of their stupidity, and again...we run everything, pretty much, without their realizing it.
As long as you remember just how society operates you can always be one step ahead.

I have never thought of that, that's an interesting way of seeing it. It's like if we were their older brothers and let them be childish. Ive always thought though, that we are currently living the reality of one man, now that I think about it, its probably and aspergian.
I don't think "we" actually existed back then.
And you know this for a fact? We may be different than everyone else, but we're still humans.
What we have installed on our heads is not the same software the others have. Linux and Windows are two very different things, yet they are after all an operating system.
Hey HermanChess I have some news for you. Your theories are actually extremely close to the truth of what the autism spectrum actually is. The difference though, is that we are the neanderthals. Aspies posess minds that are partly neanderthal and partly cromagnon. NT's possess minds that are mainly Cro-magnon.
Type neanderthal theory of autism into google and check it out.
Yes, once you fully understand this frequently misunderstood and ignored theory I am dead certain is the truth you will have a completely different outlook on what it means to be an aspie. The theory was actually created by a member of wrong planet named Rdos.
ADD, Schizophrenia, bipolar, autism, depression, these are all natural traits of the neurology of the neanderthal people, who were actually a hell of a lot and I mean a hell of a lot smarter than Cro-Magnons who are the sheeple of today.
The reason we do not appear that physically different is because the neanderthal appearance has been pretty much weeded out in the human gene pool because at one time these physical traits were probably linked to disease. Some physical traits do remain though, mainly the eyes, dandruff in the hair, low muscle tone, flat feet, long second toe, occipital bun, short sightedness. These are all things common to aspies. The reason only our brains remain different is because it is our brains that are so valuable to humanity and so have been sexually selected for even despite low social ability throughout the history of humanity.
Now since we have so much technology we are losing aspie population because it is so easy to survive and our super brains are unneeded, and the seemingly unnecessary social abilities of NT's are becoming popular. It appears until the NT's really screw things up and we are in demand again aspies will have tough lives in certain respects.
Autism is not some purely genetic thing. There are probably (as yet unidentified) genes that influence the possibility of someone becoming autistic but these must interact with many other none genetic factors for autism to occur. Therefore, even were every NT to die today, NTs would still out number autistic people within a few generations. We cannot become another race because autism is not as hereditable as being human or a neanderthal is.
Also, autism occurs far too rarely for us to take control as you suggest. There simply are not enough of us to fill are the important positions that truly influence our culture. Given that full time employment is relatively low (I've seen 15% and 6% quoted), we'd have to increase in numbers well beyond the number of important positions. Beside, positions of power often require social skills...
No, oppositedirection, autism is a purely genetic thing. All things that we are made up of are purely genetic things. The genes that influence the possibility of someone becoming "autistic" are the social interaction genes that come from neanderthals that very commonly exist in much of the caucasian population.
If every NT would die out today I am pretty damn certain that the offspring of all the non-NT's would be much more likely non-NT's themselves, as it can be agreed even by the so called mental health "professionals" that mental disorders such as ADD, bipolar, aspergers etc. all have genetic roots. Even if their offspring were mainly NT's there would be a rise in non-NT's as well. The thing is is that in our society (not just because it is mainly run by NT's) people with mental disorders are not seen as valuable and people with social skills that certainly don't come from neanderthals get laid.
The reason that autism occurs so rarely is because neanderthal populations were smaller than the populations of the Cro-Magnons during the time of interbreeding, and also because many of our traits are no longer perceived as useful. However even among NT's there are those who are slightly autistic such as myself and my family, who although we could never receive diagnosises, have the hyper systemizing and brilliant mind of the aspies. We are all a little eccentric and a bit group think impaired as well.
There would be no "culture" as we understand it today if aspies ran the world as we see there being very little value in culture since we don't suffer from herd-think that uses culture as a way to form and inform groups of what is cool. There would also not be positions of power really, just positions of knowledge since for the most part aspies don't have hierarchies and don't try to attain social power over others or try to control them.

Yah, and was it NTs or Aspies who came up with that technology? That's what I thought

Yup, Doctor82 it was us who created it, but it was the NT's who shared it with larger populations and massed produced it that lead to the overwhelming dominance of humans in the world today. It was the aspies and NT's working together that lead to each new milestone of technology in history, from the stone age, to roman times, to the renaissance, to the modern age. Aspies creating and thinking and building and NT's talking and copying. OH well we are both important but it has probably always sucked for aspies.
But without the Aspies, they wouldn't even have the idea in the first place. It doesn't suck for Aspies as long as you know what the game is, and know how to either play it, or play the player.
Like I said, I see us as being the ones running the show of civilization...we just let NTs think they are, to make 'em feel better.

Hey, does anyone know what that one quote is that goes sort of like: "There's no better show of man's equality than the fact that every man considers himself to be the one that's better off" only way better worded, LOL. I completely forget who said it. D: D:
Threads like this make me think of it, and I wish I had the proper quote.
