Autism and Genius

Everyone has Autism to some degree

With every negative side there will always be a positive. Its the same with psychological disorders. Having Autism and Aspergers can make living everyday life hard for some people that have the disorder to a higher degree, but Autism can make that particular individual more creative and focused.

I don't like to say the word disorder

And that's with everything. I mean just because they have a different way of looking at the world (which is what it is) doesn't mean they are wrong, does it? In fact looking at the world differently to everyone else is where new idea's are generated from, example's are; Albert Einstein, George Orwell, H G Wells, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Beethoven, Mozart, Hans Christian Andersen and Immanuel Kant. Of course these dude's died before Autism and Aspergers became an available ''condition''.

 

The link between Genius

Autism and Aspergers produce people who are;

• Highly focused
• Don't integrate into the school system very well 
• Have poor social relationships and eye contact. (which is probably why they are so focused)
• Can be paranoid and oppositional but are usually highly moral and ethical.

This doesn't sound so bad. And these are the qualities that make a genius. All they need is an empathic Adult/Parent/Friend to understand them and they can thrive in whatever they want to. In fact we as humans always tell our children 'do what makes you happy' and 'dont care what others think' which is what many people who have what our society deems as 'problems' most likely wouldn't be so unhappy if we just accepted them for who they are. Of course there will always be a few hiccups in the road called life but thats with everyone isn't it?

 


If you have an Autistic relative or child your doing a great job, you should be really proud of yourself and your relative, and if you can both understand eachother it can be one of the most rewarding relationship you can ever have. Keep in mind what's been said in this post and find a way that allows both the Autistic and yourself to thrive as everyone is unique and there will never be just one way.

 

It's not a problem if you don't allow it to be.

The advantage of being small

                                                Who wants to be tall?

In today's time, everyone is obsessed with height as they mistakenly assume that being tall means power over the little people. FUCK NO! In fact short people such as myself have so many more advantages compared to the tall people. And this post is going to explain why....


My science teacher is maybe about 6ft tall and always jokes about with me about how short I am. I am 5ft 3, and in the science lab he always has to reach the little test tube thingamabobs off of the shelf for me, because I just cant reach. But what most people do not know is that short people, many scientists hypothesis, that shorter people thrived better than the lanky people in prehistoric times.

Reason number 1;

Faster reaction time.

How are you going to survive in the wild if you cant react quick enough? The most probable reason why shorter people have quicker reaction time is because we aren't weighed down with really long bones and muscle. I can actually validate this as I have the quickest reaction time in my class with catching a ruler as measured in our science experiment.

Reason number 2;

Size isn't strength.

It's an evolutionary thing to not mess with the 7 ft  300 pound guy because you assume he could squish you. But Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Tony Jaa and Tom cruise are all very short guys and could probably beat any tall guy to the ground because of course they have the necessary training to do so. But it all depends on the individual as anyone with a brain cell can work out as some tall people could beat a small guy and some small guys can beat up the tall one. So this misconception that size equals strength is wrong, it's all about the individual.

Reason number 3;

Small people require less energy to function.

Being small you don't have to eat to much to feel satisfied and so in the wild you don't have to spend hours a day hunting for food as compared to a taller person.

Reason number 4;

Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.

People with a taller stature are more likely to have a heart attack or such likes because there heart has to beat harder to get the blood all around there body whereas a small person's heart doesn't have to because they only have a little body and can relax a lot more.

Reason number 5; 

We live for longer.

See all reason's above.

Being small isn't bad at all. I know were not living in a world where we are battling for survival and so all these reaons may seem obsolete because for whatever reason everyone is holding tall people up as the example of accomplishment. But hey, the tall people aren't making millions like this guy are they? Fuck no.

Talk to the hand.

Pseudoscience

What the hell is it?

Pseudoscience is not the same as regular science. I found this very short video to explain to you a few of the subjects in which are Pseudoscience and which are Science;

As said in the video Pseudoscience is kinda superstitions dressed up to look like Science subjects such as Psychology, Criminology and what not. It is from Pseudoscience that we have such theories about Mind control (as mentioned on a previous post), Time travel, Telekinesis, Bioengineering etc.

What makes something Pseudoscience?

What characterises Pseudoscience you mean? In nearly all Pseudoscience, all claims do not obey to a valid scientific methods, lacks plausibility because of it's exaggerated claims and lack of evidence, cannot be reliably tested (mainly because it's claims are so bold), or otherwise lacks scientific status.

And this is why it is so fascinating! Many Scientists live by 'that just because we cannot see, touch, hear, taste or even 'prove' that its true doesn't mean that it's not there'. We have already accepted Psychology and other types of Social Science's enough to actually practise them in society, so just because the theory of time travel seems a little bold and we can't prove it and we may never be able to because it may actually not exist (although I wouldn't be to disappointed if it isn't) but the fun in it is the theorising and the philosphy in it. At least that's what Albert Einstein thought when he was making his theory of special relativity.
