The World Through a Magnifying Glass: the High-Pass Filter Hypothesis for Autism Spectrum Disorder
A book to understand the Autism Spectrum Disorder.
For parents and friends of people affected by it, a book to finally understand why they behave the way they do.
For neurologists, a novel theory on the cause of the disorder, and for psychologists, a novel theory on the causes for the learning disabilities (and how they can be mitigated).
For people on the Spectrum, a book to understand themselves and the weird world of Neurotypicals.
Some of the topics covered inside:
* The Magnifying Glass: a metaphor to understand perception under the Spectrum
* Why people on the Spectrum are impaired in contextual fields (such as personal communication) and advantaged in mastering detailed fields (such as computer science).
* Peripheral Functionality Blindness: the reason people on the Spectrum do not develop appropriate body language and facial expressivity.
* Prioritization by Specificity: the reason literal meaning is the only thing which matters, for people on the Spectrum.
* The High-Pass filter: a novel hypothesis for the Autism Spectrum Disorder, coherent with previous theories and experimental results.
