I’m not saying humans didn’t engage in hunting. That would be absurd to say otherwise. But to suggest that autism somehow gives advantages as it (theoretically) did during an era of human history where humans where just a hunter-gather species is likewise absurd. The implication is that autism is a remnant of the evolutionary process....and I don’t buy it.
look at post 17
Let’s look at it a little differently. Would you say that present day society, with gangs, criminals, just plain evil, is stronger today then any time really in our history? I believe so. Autistic children are total opposite of todays world. Is it possible that the evolutionary process is correcting the evil bad link and replacing it with good?
