To take this a step further, we cannot control the regulation of our neurotransmitters to the degree of giving a person with autism social skills. That's just not how things work, so in a way it IS a bit fixed. We are fixed to the range of what we are born with, unless we use some sort of pharmacological intervention.
When it comes to autism and social skills, some interesting treatments may come from mu-opioid receptor agonists and antagonists
- netizen-936824 5y agoJust to add a note: Mu-opioid receptor activity is one piece of the regulation for how rewarding tasks are, this includes the reward for socialization
- teekert 5y agoPerhaps there are limits indeed, but when will you reach those hard limits? Or is it just hard to push those limits? I'd say the latter.
- netizen-936824 5y agoTo answer this you need to look to genetics and epigenetics. Those are the hard limits, and I would advise against making assumptions before you do consult experts on gene and receptor protein regulation. Those are the mechanisms that underlie the adaptive features of an organism (humans are organisms)
- teekert 5y agoWe have no way of knowing someone’s full potential and how close one is to making full use of it. But I think we can agree that it will be the people that try hard that will win more, relative to peers with the same potential that don’t.
