    The link between use of anti-epileptics (e.g valproic acid) in pregnancy and autistic offspring

    I didn't invent the classification of autism in ASD 1, 2 and3. I just use whatever is given to me by the psychologists; I haven't heard any other definition of the forms of autism. Random deleterious mutations don't stay too long because natural selection gets rid of them, which is the basis...

    The link between use of anti-epileptics (e.g valproic acid) in pregnancy and autistic offspring

    Let's assume that autism is genetic. But the question remains - what caused these deleterious mutations on the first place? Did God made a snafu by planting defective genes into Adam and Eve?( This question is for religious people). How a defective gene entered the human genome? (This question...

    Is the rise in autism a sign of a human evolutionary process?

    There might be an advantage of being ASD 1 because of the ability to keep focused on topics of interest, unconstrained creativity and some other desirable forms of human activity (I am NT, so this is not self-flattery) but being ASD and especially ASD 3 puts a person at clear disadvantage. If...

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    There are uneducated hicks amongst us. But, as they say, stupidity is not an excuse

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    It appears there is a bit more to it. "n the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Measure of a Man" (Season 2, Episode 9), Data explicitly states that he had been intimate with a woman. He makes this admission during a legal hearing to determine if he is sentient and has rights. During...

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    Data is one of my favorite sci-fi characters. Until recently I thought I saw all TNG episodes. But recently, when I was watching one of the episodes again, I heard Data saying that once he had sex with a woman. I don't remember watching anything of this sort.

    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    I'm for genetic engineering, it will help cure a lot of genetic conditions. Genetic engineering was wrongly identified with eugenics due to a gross misunderstanding of genetics on the part of medical ethicists . As for WMD, this staff has been around for many decades, I don't think anyone would...

    solving Autism

    Perhaps the doctors should start looking for extent of physical damage to the nervous system and brain in order to identify ASD 2 and 3 cases. MRI technology is good enough to detect these types of damage. On the downside, there are other types of conditions that are also characterized by the...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    The US government claim that they were unable to tack drones for variety of reasons, as a government scientist told 60 minutes (a popular news program). I understand that shouting them down is dangerous because they fly in densely populated areas. The reason why aircraft cannot follow them...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    So, why extraterrestrials don’t contact us? Well, whom would they be contacting? Considering the current war climate on every continent, the Earth governments are likely to ask them for advanced weapons or at least for knowledge leading to production of these weapons. This is a nonstarter...

    Thanks for the link. It's a bit complicated for me, but I'm getting the general idea.

    Forgive my curiosity, but would anyone explain me what is the difference between bisexuals and pansexuals?

    autistic, queer, software engineer, mom, wife

    I'm not sure if innovation is connected to autism. I have met 2 innovative autistic individuals, but the other autistic people whom I met are average as far as their intellectual abilities go. I'm NT, some people say that I'm innovative but this is not always a good thing, once I lost my job...

    Do you believe there's extraterrestrial life out there?

    The NY Times broke the wall of silence regarding the mystery of UFOs. After that the floodgate of information opened, and now the public sees more and more tapes of UFO encounters

    Apostle and Pharaoes Parties

    I read an English translation of Koran. Moses is a revered figure in Koran, the story of Exodus is repeated 6 or 7 times, which is a bit excessive for me. Jesus is mentioned couple of times in passing, his title is Messenger (Mohammed has the same title). In some translations Jesus is called...
