    Very interesting hypothesis! It would be interesting to search the scientific, historical and literary record pre-20th century to look for evidence of people and characters manifesting the signs of ASD. I'm sure someone has been doing this??

    I'm sure you are right. I've never spoken to adult autists about Autism, although I have interacted extensively with a couple of children. These children in my life are some of the people I relate best with. I appreciate your advice and I am doing my best to educate myself. My primary strategy...

    Hi Judge, First off, I would like to sincerely apologize if anything I've said has led you to believe I am interested in exploiting you or others in this forum. I get that astrology is not a relevant avenue of inquiry to you and I respect that. I also respect that you clearly are not an...

    Hi Judge, That would be a fun conversation now, wouldn't it? I really am not trying to challenge the DSM-5 paradigm, I find the newest definitions in terms of diagnosing Autism in terms of the severity of symptoms very helpful as a structure for my research and general inquiry. What I will do...

    Hi Fino, I completely understand how that might not have been very clear. I find that precise communication through this medium is very time consuming and very few people invest the time necessary (including myself in this case!) Thanks for sticking with me. :-)

    I'm not questioning Autism as a spectrum. My question is about whether or not Asperger's shows up in the significations of the chart as a less severe form of very severe Autism or whether there are different signifiers for more severe cases. I'm not challenging any paradigms, I just hope to find...

    I know there is controversy in including Asperger's as part of the spectrum. I'm just remaining as open-minded as possible. Question everything!

    Is there a protocol in this forum for having a private conversation? I have an appointment right now but will available a little later. I will compile my list of questions for you.

    I really appreciate your critical thinking, study design is of major importance. I consider this to be a gateway project to several other projects: famous HF autists, self-diagnosed, individuals suspected by family members to be HFA as well as looking at severe autism and noticing if it...

    Yes, 10 charts is a very small sample. I love the idea of a database! As mentioned in another post, it indeed is enough for the purposes of my class and I am organizing it to be a gateway study into further inquiry. Later on I will include famous HF autists, self-diagnosed, as well as suspected...

    When I say "afflictions" to Moon, Mercury and Mars, one of those planets will definitely be Saturn; I am also going to look for combustion. I'm not hypothesizing retrograde planets, but I am going to have my antennae on alert for patterns in retrograde. I am starting with a very wide net. Venus...

    Thank you so much for your openness and interest, Raphael Outcast! I am delighted you have had a positive experience with the "woo woo" side of understanding reality, I count myself as one of the refugees of the medical paradigm. :-) I appreciate your concern about a "brief summary." A human...

    Thank you for your response DuckRabbit! In the Vedic system of astrology I've found a large number of tools that are helpful for looking at the depth and breadth of human experience, and the way the planets and their influence are defined is slightly different from the Western approach. I find...
