We hear about vaccinations causing autism a lot. But I wonder if it is a 'couch potato culture' that causes people to recede into a innerworld of thought - as modern life has taken from them the need to interact, socialize, cooperate, and given them mass media - a artificial reality that in place of actual living - is a shadow, void of physical reality with different medias to replace it with.
And people are too busy outside of work to do anything but feed their minds on mass media. And mass media isn't harmful to someone who is already developed, it just doesn't feed or nurture them. And so it is children of the couch potatos that are deprived, and they don't develop properly, because instead of interacting, activities, and socialization, they are in a artificial world influenced by mass media and parented likewise because modern life eats up all our time away from each other. And so as our upbringing is a shadow of what it is meant to be, we are shadows of what we are meant to be.
So, people who are autistic are deprived or never connect to the modern world for favor of their natural inclinations for real stimulus in the form of interaction, activities, and socialization.
And so as we evolve into this modern living - several generations down the line - the artificial world we made for ourselves is but a shadow of what nature intended, and the generations recede slowly into a shadow world until autism becomes commonplace and vaccinations are blamed, because they sicken and are the final stage that cements a person to living in the shadows.
I have two nephews that are autistic. One used to never talk and was shy. But his father interacted with him, and spent all his time with him, and he started to act normal. He would say hi. And so he seems normal. And it is because he had real authentic interaction that stimulated his sense of belonging.
The other seems normal by appearance, but he kind of makes noises and doesn't talk at all. And his mother takes care of him, but she doesn't interact. So he is really receded.
So, that's my theory of autism. We are removing ourselves from nature and in our idleness, reliant on artificial media to stimulate our minds, and as we develop in a modern world that leaves us idle, we think mass media feeds us, but it only feeds us in a mental sense, but in our development we need a real connection.
