When I think of the choreography of phenotype, I think of it as something more like this:
“Probing genetic overlap among complex human phenotypes”
(Click on the graphic to enlarge)

Firstly, this whole notion of “bias towards the mother’s genes” leading to psychosis smacks of the old ideas of females being “hysterical.” I’m afraid that might drag down the whole hypothesis somewhat.

Secondly, and arguably more importantly, this idea that autistic people are somehow opposite to emotional people.

This idea has been repeatedly and strongly contradicted by autistic people themselves, who report being very emotional, at least as children (I’ve read at least one autistic person’s writing of being a very emotional child but, due to repeated bullying, eventually largely blocking out their emotions to try to cope with the trauma).

I feel inclined to vouch for this myself as an autistic person who was also very emotional as a child. Thinking back on things, if anyone familiar with autism had encountered me when I was very young, it probably would’ve been fairly obvious to them that I was autistic (perhaps to the detriment of my overall sense of well-being I’ve learned to stuff down a lot of “autistic” things I do when I’m around other people, so it may be less obvious now, but I digress). I was also very emotional. Very obviously autistic, very emotional. That along with all the writings from other autistic people I’ve read, I’m afraid it sort of snuffs this hypothesis for me.

I agree with some of this.
I find it disturbing that nobody is taking into consideration what I have been saying all along.

The artificial food additives cause DNA damage, IE: genetic damage, like that which has occurred in chromosome 15.

The fraternal, or paternal donation to that chromosome makes no difference when you don’t take the dna damage into account.

Consuming petroleum and wood based coal tar based food additives can’t be good for our bodies and minds. And history has proven just how bad it is.

What I discovered is the key and I wish I could get you people to take a chance and see if you think what I found is the truth.

I believe it is.

hi first—–and thanks for that 2nd paragraph especially…….

My vitriol about the subject comes from the fact that the more Baron-Cohen (and those like him) use male autistics to define ALL autistics, the more girls and women fall through the diagnostic cracks.
