I mean to say that out of all the autistic people I know. They run on Very little sleep. They can go for days even, and still have the energy and the pep as someone like you or me who got 8 or more hours of sleep. That would mean that they would be affected less by the changing magnetic field and be more accustomed to it.

Ok so you could help me, since you work with Autistic children, what would you say is the ratio is higher functioning to lesser functioning autism.

There isnt a ratio. There are too many different levels of autism to break it down into a ratio of function level. Each is their own.
Out of the 8 kids I have daily, 6 are Asperger's. Does that help.

Your initially concept IS CORRECT
I have had two people now work for me (on the net) who are Autistic...
Coincidence perhaps...
But while face pattern recognition and emotional understanding are very low and this can make life difficult...
When you find something they LIKE and get them focused on it... the results are often stunning
One guy went on to make 40 G a month (allot more than me lately) because his skill with PPC (pay per click) dealing with key words and numbers was so ridiculous it was borderline rainman...
the second guy who as a more ADD version, seems to have now found a place for himself in gaming work...
But the COMPUTER ...poses no problem for you if your autistic..once you find an area to HYPER FOCUS on
I'd agree...
Might be coincidence but in a world of machines Autism may be around for keeps...

Hmmm... it does a lot thank you. I can't find anything about Adult autism and Insomnia. So I may just be looking for a pattern that isn't quite there.
I thank you for your time once again. I will just have to keep investigating, ill keep this thread posted for my findings.

Thank you. I just got off the phone with my roomate. he said that If everyone was autistic, there would be soo many things achieved. "Autism just means you're better at different things." He looks at things like a puzzle. A problem solver, if I givehim a problem he himself will become soo entranced, that its solved quickly, at a high quality rate.

You are correct that they tend to look at things as a puzzle, and that if you can get them to focus, they often produce incredible results, but I think that can be more chalked up to the fact that it is such an intense thing for them to actually be able to focus, they end up more dialed in.

But it also has to be something that catches their interest. Different people have different interests. So if you have a group of Aspargers, and other HFA's. if you give them all a project say design a house using the least amount of money and get the most functional house. If you have the right group you should have a pretty good design, and a great quality, am I right.
HFA1-Good at roofing
Asp1-plumbing
etc... so on and so forth. Who's to say nature isn't prepping us for whats to come.

Thank you for your debunking of my theory, though I have to ask you something, can you find any proof on the lesser reproductive success of autistic people. I'm on a journey for the truth and I would prefer a more thorough debunking. Not that I mean to be rude. I just would like to see statistics.
@both. I thank you both for your efforts. I appreciate your time spent, helping me come closer to the truth.
