@constant escape was kind of a new messiah who came down to save us, but we were too corrupted and cynical to fully comprehend. at least we didn't crucify him.

do you know @voliviavv24?I was very tired of sitting at home so I started looking for a new hobby. I started doing sports but it wasn't enough. On the Internet I read about different types of smoothies. I realized that they are very easy to cook and that they are very tasty and healthy. So now I drink smoothies every morning and sometimes in the evening. My mother also loved this drink.
Honestly part of me suspects that lockdown, as a psyche-forming world event, could give rise to ASD-like behavior or characteristics, but I guess that could only be said about children who were intellectually active and robust but socially isolated - whereas I get the impression from what you're saying that children were intellectually and socially deprived, so it probably wouldn't amount to any significant uptick in ASD-like conditions.Anyone been reading this stuff from teachers and parents about the impact of lockdown on kids? Apparently there's been a noticeable delay in things like speech and the ability to socialise.
There were lots of complaints of dwindling attention spans, poor socialisation and whatnot prior to the pandemic, Mark was on about it back in 2009, but I've seen a bunch of discussions from teachers online claiming the students they have now are the worst they've come across.
But I also entered this artificial ASD phase from a socially healthy psychological situation, IE I wasn't born into and strapped into this ASD-like psychological situation. Rather, I've oscillated in and out of it, with the "constant escape" phase being a particularly deep excursion into psychic singularity.
Totally agree. From here, one can imagine how the world formation of children can condition ASD-like psychological situations. That said, I also don't know if ASDs in general have any real phenotypic correlates, like Down Syndrome, or if it is all diagnosed vis a vis behavior. @WashYourHands do you know if there is an umbrella phenotype for ASDs, or are a lot of the diagnoses based on behaviors which could have been conditioned by experience?Yeah, I imagine it's got to be more damaging the younger you are too. Saw someone make the analogy of being beaten as a child vs. being beaten as an adult. It's gonna be rough either way, but an adult is developed enough to hopefully cope and bounce back whereas a child will likely be shaped by it in a much more profound way.
. . . could indeed be more plastic . . .
Regarding phenotypes, for a while I've suspected there could be a connection between olfactory desensitivity and apathy, IE dampened hormonal odorant detection leading to a less robust emotional faculty.Totally agree.

I hope so, but I think you're other point is right, that the younger you are, the less control you may consciously have over this, despite functionally having greater levels of neuroplasticity.If the talk of 'brain plasticity' is true then it may also mean that lockdown kids will be able to bounce back pretty quickly once they're out of the lockdown environment.
