    “Our study confirms our hypothesis that people with autism have higher perceptual capacity compared to the typical population. This can only be seen once the task becomes more demanding, with more information to process. In the more challenging task conditions, people with autism are able to perceive significantly more information than the typical adult.”

    “The finding may help explain why people with autism spectrum disorders, such as Asperger’s syndrome, may excel in some careers … which can require intense concentration and the ability to process a great deal of information …

    Our study clearly shows that people with autism can do better than typical adults in tasks involving rapid presentations of a lot of information.”

    Aspies, depending upon the severity, are at a disadvantage in some ways, but you can learn empathy if you work at it.

    “The question is whether the government is providing means for

    people to use their judgement in pursuit of their own goals, or whether

    it is using people as means to ends of the government’s devising.”

    Our founder’s first mistake was in failing to separate law-making (law-discovery) from the levy and use of taxes. Their second was in using unclear language in the constitution – particularly the commerce clause. Their third was assuming that the church would persist indefinitely as a competitor to the state and source of moral education.

    And by way of colonialism, anti-communism, education and evangelism, we have now spread this set of errors around the world.

    Multiple-Secession and constitutional evolution are the only means by which we can repair these errors.

    Yet, even that is unlikely. The majority of people do not want either freedom or responsibility. They equate freedom with consumerism and the welfare state.
