” Is there any data out there about the heritability of Asperger’s? I wonder if
—” Is there any data out there about the heritability of Asperger’s? I wonder if two Aspies breed, would their offspring likely regress to the mean? Or can we create a breakaway autistic civilization?”— Joseph Bugajski
(a) it’s heritable,
(b) it can be affected by the age of the father’s sperm,
(c) there are a huge number of related genes, just as there are a huge number of genes that affect intelligence,
(d) it also appears to be in-utero and post-birth since identical twins do not end up both autistic, and forebrains grow a LOT in aspies during the first year after birth.
(e) if we define maturity as ‘completing of brain organization that makes use of all available cerebral functions”, an aspie will reach the same social maturity as a neurotypical 3-4 at age 8-9. An aspie will socially mature in his late twenties or even early thirties. But he will be VERY VERY VERY much faster (have superpowers) compared to normies in exchange for that delayed maturity. Just as boys have analytic superpowers in relation to girls, and just as girls have superpowers in social sensitivity in relation to boys.
The spectrum is quite broad, from ‘a touch’ to people like me, to people like Gates, to people who have pervasive social problems, to various degrees of autistic.
My view looks like this:
|| Crazy Girls < Sensitive Girls < Girls < > Boys > Aspies > Autistics ||
Some girls mature very early.
A girl matures earlier than a boy
Some boys mature earlier than others (africans, middle easterners, west asians)
A boy matures later
An aspie matures later.
An autistic basically cannot ever mature – integration appears impossible.
I mean. It’s pretty much that simple.

Sociopathy is only a problem because like autism it’s expensive. Socially health
Sociopathy is only a problem because like autism it’s expensive. Socially healthy sociopaths are useful in the world. Emotions are a very cheap means of order. Otherwise children would be impossible to raise….. -

Autistic Speciation
Since human intellectual advantage is the result of pedomorphism(neoteny, juvenilization) giving us more time to mature. Since the variations between the races are largely in the success or failure at pedomorphism given the climate. Since the male matures more slowly than the female, and that autism appears to be the exacerbation of that male (compartmentalized) brain. Since the autistic mind has 60%+ more neurons, and likewise an equally high density of branches due to less neural pruning. Since the autistic brain continues to grow in the prefrontal cortex during the first year of growth (and there is less pruning). Since in my experience, as an aspie, most of us simply take longer to develop ‘mature’ minds, because we are less dependent on genetic intuition, and more dependent upon reason. Since aspies get along wonderfully with one another. It’s my opinion that ASPINESS much like benevolent psychopathy, and greater neoteny is the beginning of human speciation. The principle issue is that it is cheap to organize by emotion, and expensive to organize by fact. So aspies (homo sapiens-aspie) are more expensive than prior generations of human. but then, each generation of human has been less expensive and less productive than the current version of human. Again. Insulation allows for speciation. Fight to speciate.
