You say you are devoted to animals, specifically your dog. Devotion is an emotion. You use emotion, not logic when it comes to your dog. When you eat you use emotion. There might be a logical component, e.g. avoid food X, but the underlying drivers of what you eat, when you eat, etc. are all decisi...

There is a story that George Harrison was once beaten at school so George's dad later came to the school. He then knocked the teacher out cold. Violence and abuse was common. It never usually came my way at school from teachers but I often was targeted for not being normal. Richard@DecisionSkills w...

You touched upon a significant factor. Is autism a neurological deviation? So many essays on that matter. Firstly, I like to stress when I refer to myself as "autistic" I mean that as a child I retreated into my own world. I was too self-absorbed in my daydreams to pay attention in class....

Part of my own therapy is forcing myself to confront my defects. I have many. Adapting to my poor external attention span and difficulfies fitting into groups, I over-compensated by developing a super ego. A good dose of narcissism. I tend to openly let others know of any accomplishments I make (in...

I refer you to your post #36 in reply to mine. You said, and I quote: "It was well written but I hardly agreed with a single point. Will elaborate later." So, oh yes you did! Post #36 was not my post. Correct. My apologies. That said, my assessment of you still stands. You have resorted t...

All that you are now doing in response to my assertions is to flatly contradict me, without providing any reasons." This is the same problem I experience with Richard. What I notice is he contradicts whatever is stated and will do this repeatedly. Reminds me of The Beatles' song Hello, Goodbye...

Indeed, you commented that one of my posts was well written. I did not make that comment. We have not met face to face. We have exchanged only a few written communications. In short, you do not know me. How, then, do you know that I have no idea about good communication? There is no requirement to ...

You have no idea what "good communication" even means. An infant crying is not a sophisticated ability yet it is good communication. We have not met face to face. We have exchanged only a few written communications. In short, you do not know me. How, then, do you know that I have no idea ...

Not all great musicians are autistic by any means although I think John Lennon was borderline. Songs like I'm Only Sleeping provide a clue, coupled with Lennon's atrocious school reports. Studies show the majority of autistic people are weak at maths and mechanical skills but good readers. Psycholo...

It is an argument about truth. If one person claims the earth revolves around the sun, and hundreds of others claim the sun revolves around the earth, it doesn't matter if the one person is a scientist, a baker, a woman, a man, autistic, a schizophrenic, a priest, an astrologist, etc. You bring up ...

[Presumably you mean with regard to autism? Or possibly other fields as well? If the latter case is intended, did you know that one of the Asperger children Fritz F discovered a mistake in Newton's theory? And very likely Grigory Perelman the reclusive mathematian is Schizoid type. It was the latte...

If the research is accurate, that is all that matters. If the bus arrives safely, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter who conducted the research or who was driving the bus. . The end justifies the means? Your claims are absurd. It matters very much who drives the bus. I would not wish to pu...

Why not make the case for over 50%? In your opinion would over 50% widen the perspective even more? What about cancer research? Should 50% of research on cancer be conducted by those with cancer? Autism is a condition which affects the mind. Cancer is a physical condition. That makes a big differen...

In the US the underlying cause driving fear is media and politicians.. No, they are not the underlying cause. Media and politicians, and scientists, are certainly driving fear. The cause: they drive fear because they are corrupt and get off on scaring the living daylights out of people. I still don...
