Re: Asperger Autism As A Minority Social Grouping

“Disability scholar Runswick-Cole has pointed out these terms (neurotypical or autist) can be divisive, fostering an “us” and “them” mentality. She denounces a dichotomized view of the world where you are either “in” or you are “out”. I agree mostly. I do think, though, there's a big problem where n...

Asperger Autism As A Minority Social Grouping

For a long time now, I’ve been trying to define a more accurate distinction between the neurotypical and autistic identity, also pondering the problem as to whether autistics can be defined paradoxically as a “social group”. In my view, Jaensch came very close with his integrated and non-integrated ...

Re: The Core Of Asperger Syndrome

Western psychologists seem unaware that very detailed studies decades ago suggest a connection between Asperger's and schizophrenia. If schizophrenia starts in childhood, pretty much the symptoms then are the same as Asperger's. Except....childhood schizophrenia progresses in stages whereas Asperger...

Re: The Core Of Asperger Syndrome

That's called "sameness" and, yes, it applies to me. I do the same things every day and find it very hard to chuck out clothes, despite holes in the knees and worn material. The thing about Asperger's, though, is in my experience it tends to be part of other possible syndromes in a person....

The Core Of Asperger Syndrome

"Quippe, ut fine conprehendam, daemones sunt genere animalia, ingenio rationabilia, animo passiva, corpore aeria, tempore aeterna." (platonism) The ancient Greek or Roman physician used the term "passivus" to refer to what Asperger and Leo Kanner described as "socially progr...

Re: I'm Back To Liven Things Up

No, I'm not that fashionable.
It wasn't a trick question. It's just to point out we are close to a world war. That could wipe out millions of people - far more than any virus.
Factor in casualties from Ukraine and Russia to date.

Re: I'm Back To Liven Things Up

I repeat the problem. If global leaders had planned to reduce population at any cost, why so much panic over famine? Doesn't famine do the same thing as a toxic drug? You would expect a superficial "too bad" attitude to any real famine but, behind the scenes, relief. Less people to feed in...

Re: I'm Back To Liven Things Up

Not that I suggest the said vaccine hasn't caused serious side effects. I'm just suggesting if there had been a death jab conspiracy, the global panic around famine just doesn't factor in.

Re: I'm Back To Liven Things Up

It came to me the other night there's a logical obstacle to the death jab theory, unless you only mean it can kill unintentionally. Here's the question for you and tranquilla vox: Why are global governments seemingly obsessed by famine in the Middle East as a result of conflict? Cruel as it may soun...
