But public thinks it's more on the nurture side, many people think its caused by vaccines, nutrients, env. Telling us that autism is more on the nature side. But extremely intelligent in specific ideas.īiological: researchers are looking at twins→if one twin has it 50-70% more likely the co-twin will be diagnosed with autism. So rates are seemingly increasing but probably in actuality we just have a better diagnosis for it. Autism has probably been around for a long time we just didn't have that specific diagnosis we just classified it as mental disabled. Picard: Any time we come up with a new diagnosis, it's going to pull from where that diagnosis was already being classified, it's not that autism rates are skyrocketing(fear based marketing tactic), but what's happening is we actually have a name for it. compulsive behaviors and obsessive thoughts go hand and handĪ disorder that appears in childhood and marked by significant deficiencies in communication & social interaction, & repetitive behaviors ex: tapping when nervous. many people end up doing ritualistic behaviors where there doing something a certain amount of times b/c it alleviates their anxiety←if I wash my hands 10 times that's going to take away my obsessive thoughts common form revolves over cleaning or germs→constant worry about germs being on everything, that constant anxiety in their mind about their germs on this and this,→leads to compulsions: constant hand washing, constant cleaning, (often times excessive) obsessive(thoughts) compulsive(behavior) the person knows them to be irrational, the anxiety-fueled obsessive thoughts become so haunting, the compulsive rituals so senselessly time-consuming, that effective functioning becomes impossible.
