Social issues??

[Cmack]

Why do we have the problems we do socially?? Is it brain damage to one of the lobes? Is it chemical???

 

[lunarious]

I think, myself: things are biological or psychological. Or a combination. These two can be healthy or pathological.

I don't have imagination to see more than this.

Due to social media things are going down hill. It's not just us. Plenty of men in the manosphere doesn't have social skills let alone balls to socialize with people.

Our brains are formed differently. It's not damage or a deformity, our brains work differently. A lot of these differences are subtle but have huge impacts on our social lives. I believe this is one of our biggest issues:

Thread 'Hierarchal Social Structures'

Jun 19, 2023

This is something I've struggled to put in to words for many years. I still don't think I have it quite right though and would appreciate feedback.

Hierarchal Social Structures


Most people live with and require a hierarchal structure in their social groups. There will be a leader of the group, second rank, third rank, etc. right down to the lowliest and newest member of the group. Most people seem to be able to navigate these structures of hierarchy with ease and effortlessly place themselves in the correct rank without even realising that they are doing so.

It isn't "brain damage", in most cases. Autism is a prenatal, genetic and epigenetic, neurodevelopmental condition. The areas of the brain affected include some of the earliest brain structures to form during the first weeks of life (brain stem), middle gestation (thalamus, cerebellum, etc), and late gestation (cortex). It is, in part, neurochemistry. It is, in part, neuroanatomy, more specifically at the cellular level. It is, in part, genetic and epigenetic. There is a "brain injury model" where, more commonly, a baby is born extremely premature (less than 27 weeks), during critical periods of brain development and then may experience damage (intracranial hemorrhages, oxidative cellular damage, stress damage, etc.). Not all of these babies develop an autism condition, but a disproportionate amount do. Furthermore, some infants will develop intracranial hemorrhages and/or diminished blood flow to the brain while in the womb, resulting in injury, which in some cases, may manifest itself as an autism condition. Regardless, the vast majority of the time, it has a genetic or epigenetic component and we are born with it. There are over 100 familial genetic markers and over 1000 epigenetic markers on the human genome. It isn't something that "suddenly" happens after some "event" when they are 2 or 3 years old. It was always there, it's just that a certain percentage of small children experience a "regression" that is alarming to the parents. It corresponds with a common neurological "pruning" that happens at this age with all children, then things become quite evident.

There is A LOT going on here. No simple answers. I would recommend you take the time to take that "deep dive" into "all things autism" for a better understanding. PubMed and Google Scholar are good sources for scientific literature. Personally, I use Grok AI and make sure I ask questions in a neutral, balanced manner to receive more accurate information.

Neurochemistry does play a huge role, and something to study on your own. Autism may present with low circulating levels of oxytocin and vasopressin (responsible for interpersonal bonding), low dopamine, and low serotonin in the brain (depression, flat affect, anxiety, etc).

Psychological conditions may present themselves (demand avoidance, PTSD, etc.). Auditory and visual processing issues may be present. Awkward physical coordination may be present.

We can go on and on here. Taken all together, then you will have someone who tends to be by themselves, marginalized, there but not there. Autism, from the Greek root word "auto" or by one's self. "He who walks alone."

ally can’t thank you enough for your guidance and understanding. Pretty incredible

It's complex but that is why it is wonderful. At its central, autism is a genetic or behavioral difference that plays out in how people socialize and experience life. I still don't quite know what people mean when they say "developmental." Isn't everything developmental? Indicating how a person changes throughout life? That term is a little abstract

Developmental is a scientific term meaning before adulthood. Developmental biology is anatomical and physiological changes in children. Developmental disabilities are those which arise as fetuses or in children.

The reason is we have a different brain and the brain works in a different way. For example, we have not mirror-neurons (I don't know if it's the correct english term), which are important to understand other people's emotions. The causes of autism generally are a mix of ambiental causes and genetical causes

 

[Judge]

I prefer to surmise that we neurologically perceive and process certain things quite differently from our neurotypical counterparts.

Particularly how we interact with others and in ways that seem contrary to neurotypical understandings of social protocols that often can remain a mystery to us.

And that science has yet to conclusively explain why.

Have an example of how my brain is different today did some curvilinear thinking this morning connected prime minister of Canada with premier of Ontario my former employer, linkedin. latest news know how all dots connect. do not want to say to much as this will be removed for being political. poker game where I can see the hand. Very good example of why they seek us out. So obvious. Great play on our, Canadians part actually brilliant. Not so good for
middle class south of us, most notably if house lost in fire last fall.
