Simon Baron Cohen - Cambridge Neuroscience - The Prenatal Sex Steroid Theory of Autism

[@spectralvalkyrie]

I had to put the search filter in for "this year" to find this talk, because the first suggestion that comes up for this research from Simon is 12 years old! Thanks for the presentation.

I always take Simon Baron Cohen with a bit of skepticism.

[@dallinorr6929]

May I ask why? Genuinely would like to know.

[@themekfrommars]

That's a rubbish Haiku. Try: With a doubtful mind, I tread through Cohen's ideas, Seeking true answers

[@ventrust7507]

@themekfrommars it's him and my take because of what he said in the past. He has to pull back. It's to me. Why did he put himself out like an autistic expert and title a book Evil- and why the DNA collection 10k. Anyway, nice chatting.

[@ventrust7507]

@dallinorr6929 he has a book called -Evil- and says he is an Autism expert, and at first glance, it looks like a money grab. The 10k pullback was maybe his doubt of his own project. It's my take.

Fascinating! As an autist woman, i find that his theory has merit. I always felt that i think more like the average male than the average female.

anxiety, depression, gastrointestinal issues, and a preferrence for predicted settings might also stem from society and its intolerance to difference, cultural rules, exclusion and mobbing. Therefore they are following, not co-occurring conditions.

[@turtleanton6539]

Agreed😊

[@lillieparker8634]

Definitely think it could be party that but there’s also a gut brain connection and seems to be that gut issues are very common in autistic people .

[@turtleanton6539]

Hmmm
