Daydreaming and Autism
Autistic brains ‘never daydream’
“Daydreaming” Network Fails In Autism
I think my autstic brain is the opposite. I can daydream all the time. Its harder to make my brain intellectually or simulationating or scnario-izing idle than to not daydream.
And I also think most (probably all) of the 15 people are are AS, HFA, or high-functioning PDD-NOS as I don’t think how they can keep an LFA still in them machines.
Kinda cool that intellectual centers don’t deactivate. With natural selection not looking down on High-Functing Autsim and Asperger’s anymore, I’m pretty sure if a right genetic niche is found (max intellectual boost min sensory and language deficit), it could end up spinning off a new para-human race without the need for genetic engineering. I bet there would be tens or even hundreds of thousands of super-einsteins if HFA and AS people and high-IQ non-ASD people were selectively bred for intelligence and wisdom like the colonial negro slave-farms of western Africa in the 16th-18th centeries were bred for muscle and obediance (dumbness implied). I’m pretty sure about 70% of the major technological advances in the world is from an AS/HFA person, including the Nuke Bomb (indirect from Einstein).
