You don't understand it at all. The idea of mirror neurons is well proven. The only thing left to understand is if the mirror neuron problems result from or cause the autistic spectrum. It's not true that for two people thinking the same

The original poster indicated the child was engaged in spontaneous sharing, which indicates the child isn't on the spectrum. (Spontaneous sharing requires an ability to model the reaction of the person you share with, which requires the mi

Because autism involves (most likely) a deficiency in the mirror neurons which do not allow the children to learn from mimicking the social interaction of others. It's theorized that sometimes these deficient mirror neurons get replaced by

Another textbook autistic trait. This kid isn't wired like you. Normal children do not have those reasoning abilities at that age. You can't reasonably project from your experience to his, but are more likely to, because that's how people

(kissing more of my karma away for saying true things) That's textbook autistic thinking. Almost verbatim, that's the difference between autistic and non autistic responses to praise. You are completely justified in thinking that way abou

Not in a six year old. It's called child development. Heard of it? Because if the child isn't old enough to gain reason and judgement you are just killing creativity, for no benefit. What age do reason and judgement hone to the right deg

You are very wrong about this xlnt. You should understand more about child development. It's a useful number because it gets a kid playing with math. Encourage them to teach themselves more about it, to play with it, but, for Christ's sak

Maybe you will not want my feedback. Not sure what page you want it on either. I don't like the design on the front page. You need to redesign the front page by starting completely from scratch and thinking minimal. This site looks like it

Sounds like a truth most web 2.0 businesses that add one or two features have yet to realize. Way to stay ahead of the curve, DocSyncer!

I think a culture where people aggressively argue their views is better. But, people need to not identify too much with their ideas. They need to be able to say "switch" and start arguing the other side with the same intensity. But that

This contains a spectacularly good idea. Registration is a huge barrier. If you can suck people into using your more advanced features without requiring registration, or pushing it as far back as possible, thats a thousand times better.

Maybe you should give him a relevant dictionary and have him teach himself that quadrupillion sounds a lot more like 4 million then googleplex+100 by finding the prefix he used.

You are right, I was wrong. I was overly rhetorical. If you like to wear suits, by all means. Sometimes a really nice button down shirt and nice pants feels good. What really gets me is mandatory dress codes that don't have anything to do

I much prefer the actual aggression that results in people seeming rude when they forcefully present their views to this sort of passive aggression.

That's not what I mean. You are deliberately taking the worst possible interpretation of what I wrote. No one wants typos in code. But, a programmer who's written english is bad, but who is highly intelligent will probably not evidence t

You sound like a rep for ATT in 1980. Pathetic.

Well a resume conveys useful information, which is important. Dress does not. It's a signal to noise ratio thing. Incidentally, bad spelling in an otherwise smart person is a good sign of creativity, because it's correlated with personali

I am not really interested in tagging, so I will limit myself to design. In addition to the other comments, I think the inconsistency between sometimes using capital letters at the start of sentences and sometimes not is grating. It seems

I don't want employees that spend all that time fretting over what they wear. I want employees that would look at me funny if I asked them to dress nice. I'd want to see a funny, bewildered, slightly pained look on their face that said "I

I guess it depends on the job, but I can't stand people in suits. It's so obsolete now. That kind of tired attention to surface conformity only encourages the same old thinking that is responsible for everything sucking. Wear what is co

No. It's a sentiment about demographics that relates to race. If you don't see a difference between that and being racist, I don't really know what to say to you. There are lots and lots of people alive in their 40s and 50s who survived o

The context is the experience of the minorities who come from communities hurt by this and may also be reading here. Such a person might look at it (a group of mostly white people making light of lynching here), and put it in their context

I think the word "lynching" cannot casually be used non offensively by a community of mostly white people. There is no context where a community of white people casually joking about lynching isn't going to cause minorities to feel sublimin

Dude, 1.) Perspective. This isn't the same at all as saddam and has nothing to do with the first amendment. 2.) This casual usage of the concept of lynching bothers me. A lot. I would probably fire someone who threw it around casually
