This would have been an open letter to John Best, but I'm not that stupid.

Obviously, if you've been observant enough, reading my blog, you know that I am an Aspergian. If I turn out not to be, then I certainly have loved ones on the spectrum. My goal is to put everybody in the same mental health category. No, not make everyone conform. Make a common label that will fit every type of brain.

How much do you know about Psychology? That is to say, have you taken a recent course in Psychology? Do you know the statistics? About 1/10 Autistics are Severely Autistic. I believe that the severity may come from the vaccines, but am not certain as to, well, anything else. You see, as you know, it is easy to set off an Autistic's hypersensitivity. I myself hate tickling, and don't mind being head butted. Also, people under the age of THREE (as in a two year old getting vaccinated) have something called infantile amnesia. Which is to say, their memories last a bit and are then deleted. Severe shock and possible trauma from multiple vaccinations could be enhancing childhood amnesia, and may be what's causing severe Autism.

But, if you're so concerned for HFAs, this guy was diagnosed by a leading British Autism Researcher, and is a legend. Sort of.

*Personally, I believe it's something about what type(s) of special interest(s) they develop in early childhood. This may also wind up leading to some cases of severe Autism.* I also believe that the intense focus contributes to the surrounding's causing pain. Hey, if life tortures you from a small age (I know what I'm talking about a little; which is to say I've had a small taste of it), then you're not going to develop.

Among monozygotic (identical) twin pairs the concordance rate for autism ranges from 36% to 91%, with 60% being a widely accepted number (as far as I can tell, e.g. Bailey et al 1995 ). Obviously, if the twins were both being exposed to the same things, there must be something about personal development.

Well, I'm still thinking about what I'm hypothesizing...

About Me

My photo
Live Long and Prosper! I am an eccentric. I like Jewish/Hebrew music, focusing on whatever special interests I have, especially if it concerns my friends. Quintessentially, I love my gifts from God. I dislike it when people dislike the lives of their own children, and torture them in the name of training and treatment. My dreams for the future are to become a Professor, writer, wife and mum. May the Force be with you!
