HELPING AUTISTIC SPECTRUM BOYS, YOUNG MEN, AND MEN.
Entry into the autism spectrum is caused in utero, as a byproduct of excessive maleness – inhibiting or destroying certain brain development. This is the reason boys mature later than girls. We must overcome the brain damage, and specialize with what remains.
Some of the drugs that assist with tolerance for autism spectrum disorders are neurogenic. they increase the rate of adaptation, although that may come at the expense of future dependency. (I don’t think we are sure.) The process is exacerbated in puberty in a second round of rapid growth and further inhibition.
However, it does not matter what age you start to assist the development of the brain. And I suspect that if we can accelerate this process of ‘repair’ that will will see a corresponding (dramatic) increase in intelligence among males.
Of course, experimentation of this kind is ethically problematic. But I expect that in the next century, this will be one of the most rapid avenues to human advancement.
Interesting.
