What did they mean by this

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

Einstein wasn’t autistic as far as we can tell. No issues socializing, etc.

[-]

Tom_Blunty@reddit

Autism doesn't mean you will have problem socializing, you can be autistic and yet it doesn't affect this part of your brain

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

It’s literally one of the first things that’s a sign of being on the spectrum.

Einstein wasn’t socially inept, the opposite actually

[-]

It’s one of but it’s not a requirement. Lots of autistics are very good with other people, just usually if you scratch under the surface a bit you find out it’s because they have a very intricate system for how they socialize. So they get along great in social situations but they just do it in an autistic way

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

Your first sentence does not make sense

[-]

StanIsHorizontal@reddit

It do tho, if you ignore the bad syntax

Yes, trouble navigating social interactions is one of the most common early signs of autism, however it is not true that all autistics struggle with social situations. Depending on severity, expression of symptoms, and the coping strategies they are taught early on, plenty of people with autism are as comfortable with social complexities as your average person and don’t appear socially inept to others

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

This doesn’t make sense if they are not experiencing issues then they likely wouldn’t get taught coping mechanisms

[-]

FearLeadsToAnger@reddit

You should shift to asking questions rather than tossing out assumptions and assertions, you definitely dont seem to have a firm grasp on the topic.

[-]

StanIsHorizontal@reddit

They can be self taught, or they can be taught by the parents at an early age as part of basic childrearing and socializing. Everyone has to be taught social behaviors somehow, the difference is that autistics will struggle with learning them the same way allistics usually do. Sometimes this means they never fully grasp social convention, sometimes it just means a different method will achieve the same result

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

Yes. People with autism will need additional teaching I don’t understand the nuance you’re trying to make here

[-]

StanIsHorizontal@reddit

Because the basis of this conversation was you saying Einstein couldn’t be autistic because we don’t know about him struggling to socialize. I doubt we know for a fact that he never did, even as a young child. We know that he was slow in his speech development, and had an eccentric personality as an adult. So he could fit perfectly in the mold of an autistic child who was able to learn how to socialize early on

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

He didn’t have confirmed developmental issues as a child. It took him till about 3 years to speak fluently which is on the slower end but isn’t unheard of in children who don’t fall into the spectrum. He was a very social person and yes was considered a bit eccentric but these aren’t signs of autism. Other signs would be repetitive behaviors, obsession with order, rigid routines that cause stress if something alters. Etc.

[-]

StanIsHorizontal@reddit

I’m not saying he definitely was autistic my only argument was that someone not showing obvious social difficulties does not mean they aren’t autistic

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

That’s fair but it is one of the first big signs.

[-]

Real-AlGore@reddit

you internalize coping mechanisms. especially if you learn so fast that you never have a chance to visibly present issues

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

Coping strategies they are taught early on implies teaching. No one is teaching if they don’t express an issue

[-]

Real-AlGore@reddit

i mean i’m not the one that said “taught,” if anything i disagree with that wording bc typically they teach themselves

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

I’m going by your wording

[-]

Real-AlGore@reddit

then reread it

VonDukez@reddit

Other guy already hoped in. Dont worry.

[-]

StanIsHorizontal@reddit

You’re replying to a different person. I’m the one you first replied to

Anyway like the other person said yes, they can be self taught. Or they can be taught very early by parents who may be autistic themselves and teach their kids in the way that made sense to learn, thus it not necessarily being an “issue” just basic childrearing, no different than how all parents have to teach their kids manners and other social behaviors

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

Your wording isn’t self teaching hence my statements. Teaching kids manners and social behaviors occurs because of the need to. Teaching coping mechanisms specifically for social situations implies a need

[-]

FearLeadsToAnger@reddit

So you're saying there are many more signs of being on the spectrum.

[-]

Tom_Blunty@reddit

I am diagnosed yet I have absolutely no problem socialising with people.

People who downvote just don't know how autism work. Each case is different depending on the individual.

Some go non-verbal while some don't stop talking, we mainly all struggle with social interaction but each our own way, I struggle to understand sarcasm, certain jokes, ect.. But I have no problem socialising.

[-]

VonDukez@reddit

So you have issues socializing

[-]

Alan Turing was pretty smart and all about the bussy. That's far more based and gay than whatever this proposed incest bullshit.

That said...

From a genetic perspective, having a kid with your first cousin isn't really so bad, BUT....

If you have two sets of cousins banging out kids and their GRANDKIDS start fucking, it's freaks and abominations all the way down.

The (Likely) smartest person ever was Newton who was most definitely gay.

[-]

the_quivering_wenis@reddit

What makes you think he was actually gay? I thought he was just asexual/religious fanatic.

[-]

a500poundchicken@reddit

He left everything to his lifelong roommate

I've also heard the ACE label thrown around his name as well, but are we really saying the smartest person ever believed alchemy was totally legit?

[-]

a500poundchicken@reddit

I mean he invented alot of our basal knowledge of Calculus and Physics. The jump in math after his life is huge due to the discoveries he made.

This is Leibniz erasure if I've ever heard it.

Afaik he was on the ship by accident, the medic left the ship and darwin had to jump in. He had lackluster medical training and he was more interested in bugs and animals. He also seemed to be a proper nuisance to the crew.

The thing about incest, is that it isn't a guaranteed risk until your kids and their kids also start fucking each other, then the genetic gacha gets pretty rigged against your bloodline.

If you do fuck your cousin, make sure your child won't.

[-]

MrBingly@reddit

Maybe it's because I only have male cousins, so I don't know what it's like realistically looking at what it would be like hooking up with a cousin, but I don't get why people are so weird about it. Cousins to me are really no different than family friends' kids.

thatweirdguyted@reddit

Its been a common, socially accepted custom throughout most of recorded history.

The main reasons it fell out of fashion are that changes in property laws no longer required this practice in order to keep lands within specific families, and also advances in transportation made a lit easier to meet and date people in the community who were not relations.
