Oh, and a laundry list of people in science and tech. It if known that Einstein had increased inter hemispherical connectivity. Formally diagnosing a specific person after their dead is problematic.

None taken. I'm a high IQ high functioning autistic with increased interconnectivity between hemispheres, and this is my autistic obsession at the moment.

My analysis has merit, despite my lack of credentials. Is argue about it all day, and half of everyone reading this would only assume I was an arrogant prick.

Psychiatrists respect me. I could bring one along, but ideally Mr. King wouldn't know we were fibbing him a Turing test.

Rumor has it Mr. King is a high iq, high functioning autistic. I've confirmed that I am, but with increased inter-connectivity between hemispheres. This is a recipe for unusual linguistic, musical, or artistic facility.

I'm thinking Mr. King has to be the same, and he's written autistics into his stories.

"Andy Dufresne - who crawled through a river of **** and came out clean on the other side."

The thing is, I've been looking into it. I'm a first rate Pavarotti type operatic tenor. (He was better.) That scene where Andy tells people how they can't take the music from us? Most people can't play music in their heads!

And those who can don't know it's special. I can play whole piano concerti in my head front to back. It never occurred to me it was unusual til about the 40th watching of Shawshank.

I'm guessing Mr. King can? Would someone ask him?

The thing is: facial development is linked to brain development. Stephen King looks like my uncle, or something.

Hamlet is autistic. Faust is autistic. Michael Corleone is autistic. Andy Dufresne is autistic.

After doing a little research on what would signify such a diagnosis, I haven't seen anything in his behavior in the 28 years I've known him that would lead me to believe that Steve is a high functioning autistic.

The literary analysis of the psychologism development lies n the house \Wilson Holmes/Watson dynamic. House is autistic, Wilson would have autistic children. He understand house, boy he is not house.

My analysis is Mr. King is autistic with a selective androgen insensitivity, it the hardest Wilson who ever walked the earth.

I respect him beyond words either way.

Thank you did your input. If you know him, you would know better. I'm thinking he's a hard Wolfson, then? Does my literary analysis make sense?

Again, as someone who knows him, I would disagree with your assessment.

The part I bolded made me laugh. I actually do know a bit about autism....especially about the obsessions. So..not laughing at you, just laughing at the connections that made in my mind.

Anyway, an obsession, even combined with a high IQ does NOT qualify you to make a diagnosis. Even if you have read real books...not just the College of Google.

Nor does a degree. I can't do anything not think anymore, so my ability to get a degree is limited. My thought significantly line up with reality, it they do not.

I regularly have people contest my ideas with the fact that they are not peer reviewed, and I have come out if it with the fundamental knowledge that 99.99% of people do not understand the value of offer review.

:D My only credentials are that my psychiatrist and I work together, he's trying to get someone to get me a free ride to study neuroscience, as i am already an expert in evolutionary psychology.

Anyway, in being am assertive prick. I should back off this thread before I offend someone.

If is not our system which imparts understanding, it is our natural facility, and our ability to line out thoughts with reality.

Newton, luckily, went to such a crappy school.

Autistics are primarily oppressed via the arrogance response in non autistic humans. I guess I'm pushing in for more. Please.

Anyway. Its an interesting conception.

Autistics HAVE unusual linguistic ability. At some point, some of us must have mattered.

Ooooooo.

Peer review that. It is an argument which only requires understanding the arrogance response, and that it is a demonstrated phenomenon that, because autistics lack the arrogance response, we trigger it when we try to tell people anything about squat.
