Autism is Evolution?

What would you do if your six year old started to tell you parts of a horror novel you were reading? No, I wasn't reading it to him and he wasn't reading it over my shoulder. He's smart, but not that smart.

I tested him to see if he was reading my mind, I had reason to believe he was. We played a game, I drew a picture on a post it note and he drew what he thought I drew. He hit 6 for 6. (When I have the time I'll post the results with scans of the actual drawings.)

I should mention my six year old is autistic.

I started thinking that maybe his first language was telepathy and that's why he was having a hard time speaking. As I started to investigate my own psychic abilities I found a community of mom's of psychic autistic kids. I didn't even know this phenomenon existed. They are known as "Indigo Children" by the "New Age community".

Oh, crap... am I now part of the "New Age community"? I really don't want that stigma. There's something "off" about "new age" it's like "Hippie". Hard to be a professional and "New Age". Time for a paradigm shift I guess.

I find the autism/psychic connection pretty fascinating and wonder if the research to find the autism genome discovers a psychic genome at the same time? Psychic ability runs in families and according to the National Institute of Mental Health autism is genetic.1

So, what about the evolution of Man? Are we evolving to be more psychic? Is Autism a symptom of evolution? It is a change in brain function, but is it something that needs to be cured or understood?

Amazing...I just talked with a lady yesterday about something my autistic son did. She sent me a link to your blog.
I am open minded about a lot of things. I have never discussed remote viewing with my 8yr old though. For the 4th of July me and him stayed overnight at my sister's house. On the way home, in the car, he asked if I left his game case back there at her house. I told him I didn't remember. Several minutes later of what appeared to be him going to sleep, he opened his eyes and looked right at me. He said " I just went back there to Pamela's house and the case wasn't there." I asked him where was my sister and he didn't seem to have seen her and then told me to "stop talking". Which is his way of saying he doesn't want to discuss it anymore. It was strange, you had to be there to really appreciate the moment.

Thank you for your note. I know that it can be hard to explain to other people when your child does these phenomenal things.

The evolution of man is brain development, Autism is a change in the way the brain is used. Coincidence?

Good luck with your son!

Oh my gosh! I just found this blog in a Google search. I think my almost 4-year-old autistic son could be psychic as well. He was in speech therapy yesterday and the phone rang during his session. His therapist says he usually ignores the ringing, but yesterday he said, "Mommy on phone." She laughed and told him "no," it's not mommy. Well, it was me!!! When she checked messages, she realized the time stamp and his comment. My therapist thought it was completely unbelievable. I know he has a gift, maybe this is it.????

Thank you for this blog entry. I teach kids who are autistic and blind, and I think your observations have a lot of merit. I am doing research and writing an article or book about autistic kids who are psychic. I'd love to talk with you about this sometime.
