Shit those 'S' are killing me. He's almost whistling.
-
Unbelievable. So interesting. Thank you.
-
Thank goodness for science like this
-
I have Asperger's. I cried when I saw this. This guy really gets how my brain works.
-
I kept waiting for him to switch to the Borat accent
-
I’m a 26 year old autistic man and this is interesting!
-
Is it only me or other have same feeling? Simon seems himself to be on spectrum with monolithic talk.

Having seen that nerve cells from Autistic individuals have more connections than controls and the brains of autistics tend to be heavier brains than those who don't carry the diagnosis, I've always wondered if brains exhibiting Autism haven't undergone the "pruning" we see in developing brains. That might explain the childlike repetitive behaviors of the autistic and their greater response to sensory stimuli...

Extremely interesting! I'm a 60 year old gay Asperger male and I'm not only fascinated by scientific ‘material’ patterns but I’m also drawn to analyze patterns in human emotion and behavior. The latter irritates me tremendously by the way. I actually consider it a curse.

BRILLIANT :)

Thank you

I love the "find the cube" picture. That's not a cube. It's a rectangular prism.

26:48 That jolt in the womb for boys is quite large, more than twice, if the y-axis scale is correct, than that which triggers puberty. Now, if we look at it in terms of amount relative to the size of the body or the brain, the difference is astronomical.
-
I was sent for a hearing test because I didn't recognise my name :(
-
I'm so grateful Simon seems similarly disgusted by Aspergers Erausre.
-
I want to listen to this so bad but the amount of whistling he does when he says "S" sounds is driving me insane
-
I played with cars and garages and cowboy and Indian figures with my brother

8:30 Can a baby see any detail at day 1
-
Don't the males of some primate species consider eye contact to be a threat? Very interesting that testosterone reduces eye contact.
-
Would be very helpful !! to see the slides he is describing.....otherwise great!
