I have read that in the last decades the number of autism cases have increased dramatically .In the articale which investigates autism , famous names of science confirm the teory that inteligency and autism come together . Newton , Einstein , Darwin and art workaholic such as Van Gogh and Warhol , all of them are thought to have had Asperger's - a mild version of autistic disorder , experts claim .The syndrom could have helped Darwin focus intently on his work . According to psychologist of Univercity of Cambridge , Simon Baron - Cohen , this strikes people who are systemisers , involved often in science , engineering or mathe -matics . As prof. Baron - Cohen claims , parents who are educated and both work in this fields , are more likely to have autistic children .
Recently I have by chance heard of Asperger's syndrom a couple of times , knowing previously nothing about the disorder. Maybe that means that in fact the numbers of people touched by autism increased . People with autism in the UK reached more than half a milion ,but people with Asperger's are intelligent and don't cause communication problems.The number of people diagnosed with autism have grown dramatically during the last 20 years , as UK is concerned .
According to Baron-Cohen ,that happens partly because of genes and partly environmental factors matters .
His earlier study in Eindhoven , the town with high concentration of IT industry showed that children living there are for times likely to be diagnosed with autism then in other Dutch towns .
Of course some researchers say that was known before and autistic people are nowadays better diagnosed .
No matter who is right , it seems that partly the teory could be true - human species pay the price for the developement .But is Asperger's syndrom really a disorder? People from the beginning aimed to put things in order . Is our civilisation wrong with all this attemps to measure, systemise and find out how world works?
The human's desire to discover the parallel words far beyond the Earths and The Solar System is the part of this curiosity, which makes people willing to put this outside world in order as well . Could it be one time fatal for humankind ?
And isn't blogging a kind of putting in order our thougts and systemise our knowledge, day after day, in monthly archive ?
In others words , should we stop creating more complicated systems and putting them in order as not to become autistic society and lose ability to express emotions ?
