Franz Hamburger was Hans Asperger's Boss

Thanks for your reply.

In terms of what happened 200,000 years ago I can tell you that or what happened 300,000,000 years ago if you want. This is a model that fits our characteristics in order of evolution. As for the direct pre single family existence I have the group of two or as we know it our best friend. Before this a group of three or four or as we would know it the concept of friendship and so on back to the trees and before. These pre single family characteristics are common both to original and tribal minds. As for dates I estimate them to be accurate to around 10,000 years or so. They follow best known estimates of past environmental conditions in Africa. The full model does take a hundred pages or so to set out. I haven't as yet found any faults.

Interestingly your creationist views are very close to reality. Adam and Eve were the original single family although there were a few of them and they didn't have any names. It was at this point that we became aware of God. It is truth in the scriptures and the appeal of this truth to our psychology that has given the enduring appeal of the Bible.

As for getting help I have no problem with that. There are huge gaps in education where it is assumed we naturally aquire ability. For instance were you taught at school how to chat girls up. Were you taught how to negotiate and compromise. These are all tribal characters that we haven't inherited. The big problem with labeling yourself with a disability is that other people will think you have something wrong with you. They are not going to be interested in what it is. You simply face being sidelined and ignored. An employment rate of just 13% exists for Asperger's in Wales. Even if this was doubled it would still be only 26%. Diagnosis of mental disability does not help.

Shizotypal personality disorder is, though, and some types are similar in nature to schizophrenia. What makes schizophrenia different, however, is that the brain chemistry has gotten so out of control that it has begun to destroy the brain.

A personality disorder occurs when the aspects of personality develop in an unbalanced way, leading to difficulties and misery when certain aspects are overly powerful.

Well, some people who have AS and related disorders suffer from peculiarities in various parts of the brain. Otherwise, you're correct. What makes living in this day and age confusing, however, is that it's hard nowadays to determine the breaking point between personality and personality disorder. We spent so long trying to attribute our personality and behavior to supernatural forces that we are hard pressed to adapt our language and culture to the idea of personality being governed by brain chemistry.

I wish the Nazis had invented the motorcar, though. Public transportation would be so much better, and obesity would barely exist.

would you like hamburgers or aspurgers? none for me thanks, i'm a vegitarian!
