Why does it seem there are more autistics?

[Guest guest]

Let's not forget changing social values. While Aspies may have had a place

in traditional earth based cultures, in the artificial urban setting with

massive over stimulation the norm, they may have more difficulty fitting in,

so are easier to spot.

In the Lakota tradition, there is the heyoka, the sacred clown, who does

things backwards (they may also be gay). the heyoka is someone who doesn't

act according to the norm, but there is a place for them to be part of the

community. I am sure the heyoka covered a whole spectrum that may have

included autism.
