@punishmenthurts @autistics "it past psychology to evolution. This is what divergence looks like."

The problem is that in North America: Mexico, Canada, USA - we do not do #Genetic testing for #Autism

There are theories "Homo caetextus" #evolution #genetics

#ContextBlindness

REFERENCE:
Context Blindness: Digital Technology and the Next Stage of Human Evolution (Understanding Media Ecology, 10)
by Eva Berger
January 25, 2022

"Are people with #autism giving us a glimpse into our future human condition? Could we be driving our own evolution with our technology and, in fact, be witnessing the beginning of the next stage of human evolution? The thesis at the center of this book is that since we have delegated the ability to read context to contextual technologies such as social media, location, and sensors, we have become context blind. Since context blindness ― or #caetextia in Latin ― is one of the most dominant symptoms of autistic behavior at the highest levels of the spectrum, people with autism may indeed be giving us a peek into our human condition soon. We could be witnessing the beginning of the next stage of human #evolution ― Homo caetextus. With increasingly frequent floods and fires and unbearably hot summers, the human footprint on our planet should be evident to all, but it is not because we are context blind. We can now see and feel global warming. We are witnessing evolution in real-time and birthing our successor species. Our great-grandchildren may be a species very distinct from us. This book is a must for all communication and media studies courses dealing with digital technology, media, culture, and society. And a general reading public concerned with the polarized public sphere, difficulties in sustaining democratic governance, rampant conspiracies, and phenomena such as cancel culture and the need for trigger warnings and safe spaces, will find it enlightening."

"Plus I’m pretty much the only one who takes it past psychology to evolution." ...

#EvaBerger did a whole thesis on it. I knew of the book before it was published January 2022 because I followed her back then on Facebook.

.

I think her January 2022 book was a PHD Thesis? ...

"You’re Autistic, aren’t you?
You think your guys were, McLuhan and Campbell?
.
Even if they were, they are drawing upon and interpreting a world of thought that post dates truly ancient thinking and predates the modern discovery of neurodiversity"

My guy is James Joyce, #Irish author of Finnegans Wake year 1924. Page 3.

In the message you JUST replied to, look close and you will see me reference "Tower of Babel" I asserted #Context as I have the OPPOSITE of more common autism #ContextBlindness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caetextia

RE: " discovery of #neurodiversity " #NeuroDiverse

The DISCOVERY is VERY OLD. #Language #Communications

>>>>> Marshall McLuhan #Canadian is everything about ALL FORMS of communications. Not just oral, not just hand gestures and body language eye contact ( All #Autism issues ) - but ALL forms of communications. Writing, audio, electronic, etc. <<<

RE: " discovery of neurodiversity "

The #Metaphor of The Tower of Babel story is recorded in Genesis 11:1–9 - in the #Torah is #BrainDiversity the experience of people not being able to translate #BrainToBrain

"The Tower of Babel story is between 2,500 and 4,200 years old, depending on whether you are looking at the written date, the estimated time of the events, or the broader ancient oral traditions."

This is describing #MindBlindness and other #AutismSpectrumDisorder diversity #ADHD #ASD

It is not a modern concept, and people killing and murdering and war with each other over brain to brain #Egomania conflicts is not new. Husband wife murder-suicide, etc over language #Ego conflicts.

Autistic Monotropism Is THE ANSWER

YouTube

this blurs topics and I am having a lot of difficulty with communications input/output that has gotten worse with age. I expect this will be difficult to read and understand, it was difficult to write, and probably so poorly written I should toss it away and not share it. But the struggle is real now and my mind has many thoughts in these areas and even if they come out a jumbled mess - it is real.

#RoundSparrowFrustration

==================

TOPIC:
#Autism and listening, reading, hearing other people.

TOPIC:
World peace and humanity having biggest population in all Earth's history and world wars and how all of humanity has been shifting towards more words and communications the past few hundred years and hopefully away from violence and hate.

TOPIC:
James Joyce's writings, books, from 100 years ago and even earlier. Ulysses, Finnegans Wake - and the hard labor he put into the topic of meaning in language, spiritual / religion meaning of language, and conflicts people have - compassion and mercy for misunderstandings instead of hating each other.

TOPIC
Lesser discussed topic in autism of #ContextBlindness and context changing / context blending. #EvaBerger has a book from 2022 titled "Context Blindness: Digital Technology and the Next Stage of Human Evolution (Understanding Media Ecology)"

===
=================
=====

#Autism and sensory overload of processing people's verbal speech. Often in autism support groups and writings /memes you hear people express how a crowded room it is difficult to follow or understand a conversation with the overlapping sensory input.

Eva Berger's book on Context Blindness impresses upon me the topic of how this happens with modern reading / watching of content from news and such. And this gets into many of Professor Neil Postman's #MediaEcology work (he died in 2003, and wrote many books).

I can't finish this right now, the communications is too difficult.

Rethinking Social Skills - Autism Awareness

Over the years, my thoughts and opinions around social skills teaching have changed a great deal. Reading and listening to the viewpoints of autistic people has opened my eyes to the problems that social skills training can cause over time such as masking. When autistic thinking and neurology are not taken into account, social skills tend to be taught for…
