The Face of Autism
Genius and Asperger's syndrome
Philosophy is really for everyman. However, there have been some truly remarkable sages throughout the ages. They have been visionaries, who , because of their genius, have foreseen the future.
Aristotle and Plato recognized that there were cyclical occurences in nature and thus talked about archetypes descending from the Absolute. In the same way, Carl Jung spoke about these archetypes.Quite often, geniuses have been observed to share some of the characteristics associated with Asperger's syndrome: there is a delay in speech, there is a high memorization ability, there may be odd physcial obsessions or fixations.
However, this great focus may be just what they need to produce the scientific explanations and mathematical formulations that are necessary to persuade the community of researchers to believe in their hypothesis.
Such is the case with Albert Einstein and is characteristic of many present day scientists who have a keen desire to prove their theories. Einstein did not speak until he was about 4 years old. Quite often, autistic children go on to have normal lives with the help of proper early schooling and proper supportive parenting
. Even Bill Gates is suspected of having this syndrome which is characterized by a lack of social skills and a fixation on ordering objects. I personally have worked with an autistic child and have noticed that he was very bright, but liked to order things in sequences and was extremely repetitive in his speech. He was, however, with me very affectionate, but with other children would display some aggression. I have added the official autism TV youtube channel link below.
Researchers suggest a possible genetic predisposition and some a causal effect from childhood vaccinations contaiing Mercury and pesticides on food. some medical researchers recommend chelation therapy to remove the heavy metals.

Hi Stacy, right now I'm taking care of my friend's child with Autism. I have some webpages that have advice for dietary recommendations for those with Asperger's. I believe some have avoided gluten and milk products. I also have another blog on alternative Medicine with a post on autism http://holism.890m.com/blog/
