I've never been officially diagnosed with autism, yet knowing about the traits of autistic people I can recognize many of them in myself, especially when looking back at my early years. Here is my theory about autism: Autistic people are more biologically evolved, than neurotypical people. When we look at more simple organisms, say worms, bugs, gellyfish, from the moment they're born they have almost all necessary information to survive and be autonomous - they have short periods of maturation. If we look at more evolved species, like birds, when they're born they need parenting and cares for some period, until they reach autonomy - they have a little longer periods of maturation. Mammals like zebras, deer, lions, are staying even longer with their parents in the first months maybe a year or few years, learning many complex survival skills, till they reach maturity and can take care for themselves. One step further, the high mammals like elephants, apes and dolphins, have the longest maturation periods in the animal kingdom and learn for many years, but thus reach skills with the highest complexity amongst all animals. Humans have by far the longest maturation periods and learn skills far beyond the capacity of any animal. Now, autistic people are observed to have what are considered as 'abnormal' high levels of neuroplasticity as kids, thus very high sensory sensitivity. Furthermore, autistic people have to learn from scratch many skills (especially social skills), which neurotypical people feel as natural and understand instinctively. Now, my idea is, that autism is actually the next level in evolution, with these people needing even longer periods of reaching maturity and full autonomy, but ultimately being able to reach higher levels of self awareness and awareness of the world around them. Also able to recognize patterns of higher complexity, compared to neurotypical people and more capable in following formal logic and abstract thinking. That's why autistic children often exhibit incredible cognitive abilities and many great people historically have had autistic traits. And also that's why autism is increasing nowadays, which is also boosted by the use of technology and the more complex skills needed to navigate in the modern world.
I agree with your comment my daughter has autism and I see a great brilliance to her mind already. She (7) has so much to learn but is so far ahead in many ways. She speaks some but has taken interest in speaking Spanish. She amazes me and when it all comes together in her mind, she will be so awesome. I am happy and proud to be her mom 🙂❤
It is an interesting theory but unfortunately not all autistic people fall into this category…..many like our young grandson, are very incapacitated by this neurological disorder and will probably never reach independence.

I would like to hear from your experience please Did u get ur son assessed my Dr melilla or Hirsh? My son is 8 still without speech...and o feel this book has the answer Please share ur experience and advise me ...am lost
Hi Michell: Autism does encompass Aspberger's now. Unfortunately, as awareness of Asperger's syndrome has risen within popular consciousness and culture, it has faded from clinical use. As a result of this inconsistent application and similarities among the PDDs, the APA removed the clinical term from use and replaced it with a broad Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) term - encompassing several previous distinct disorders - when they published their most recent diagnostic manual in 2013.

Again another misleading title. The good doctor did not tell us how to treat the causes of autism. He did not explain what he does to improve his patients behaviours and abilities.
Check out Brain Health From Birth by Rebecca Fett. She also has It Starts With The Egg. Both will go into a huge body of evidence as well as practical tips
this "explanation" video is just god awful. There are no guesses what might cause autism and this is spreading false information about the spectrum. Disliked 👎
Autism is such a mysterious topic. No one knows what it is, let alone the cause. Truly an epidemic. Thanks for the interview!

Nothing is evolving in a progressive way, everything is devolving.

Thanks Dr. your brain balance center changed my son’s life for the best!!
So glad that you enjoyed it! Here is another one with Dr. Meillio you might find interesting as well. ua-cam.com/video/gGI6iQ1GW-Q/v-deo.html
I would like to hear from your experience please
Did u get ur son assessed my Dr melilla or Hirsh?
My son is 8 still without speech...and o feel this book has the answer
Please share ur experience and advise me ...am lost
Wonderful interview!! Thank you!
Glad that you found it helpful!
Please try to explain the Aspergers too. Im looking forward.thank you

This guy is talking out his ass!!!!!
I'm really glad someone else watched this and thought the same.
Developmental disorder not meantal disorder-
Yes, my apologies, you are correct.

Hi, yes, it's true that no one can really explain autism but there is lots of research out there. What resources do you find useful?
