Tony wrote 'the book' but he failed to 'see' it.

Hi thinkers and alike,

Are you familiar with the name Tony Attwood? I hadn't been, until seeing a short, titled "Is Asperger's syndrome the next stage of human evolution? - Australian Story".

This is me walking on an imaginary thin ice, because almost sure if this subject became a presentation material... there'd be more than just a few raised eyebrows in the wake... but nevertheless, say Stefan did delve into the history and implications of the story.

Surely it would be one of the most explosive and 'edgy' ones that would echo throughout the scientific community, mainstream. I guess it's probably not the right time, seeing the current zeitgeist and the list of priorities 'n all, but still. Evidently there are far more important issues, plus he'd have to be 'extra careful', choosing precisely the entry delivery and timing (me thinks).

Although, not necessarily. If he was to approach it from certain neutral angles until he could excavate just enough connections, (sorry for being too broad, don't want to imply anything unfair, I still could be wrong) doing so and attracting viewership/awareness, there could be some who'd point out the more controversial aspects later at which point a follow-up could be... etc., dunno.

Anyhow, I don't want to be my past self who had had seen the short post red-pill, would have seen it in a com-PLETE-LY different light vs. me now highly suspicious of the doctor from the get go, feeling sorry for his son.

Am I alone in my suspicion that he isn't able to practice what he preaches?

That he just rationalised his failings (in the video where he draws into the air with his fingers while narrating the research progress, explaining away how he couldn't have seen it coming...) I don't know what to make of it but doesn't feel right.(feel=I have a few arguments too if the opportunity comes to discussing them)

Thanks for pointing this guy out to me. I watched a little of one of his clips regarding women. Rang a few bells.

This is another of my favorite areas of research. I've been currently following some of the "Aspien Women" writings and list of traits as I study my own brain and behavior. I do tick a lot of boxes here also.

Looking forward to watching his clips and will let you know what I think.
