I don't think those dominate models have gone away. For the most part, differences in thinking and meaning making are always framed as disabilities.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/790059157466611712 …

It is too expensive to run a factory production line (school) when all the raw materials (children) you're building with are different.

I wonder what Feynman would say about the bouba/kiki effect. "Individuals without autism agree with the standard result 88% of the time, while individuals with autism agree only 56% of the time." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect …https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1039886283840086016 …

When you wonder why I disagree with Chomsky and Pinker on language? It's literally because I'm autistic and as such have a fundamentally different experience of something they often cite on language & meaning making. https://books.google.com/books?id=4N1JDwAAQBAJ&lpg=PT36&ots=tYjdn_iiBg&dq=%22cuppiness%22%20socrates&pg=PT36#v=onepage&q=%22cuppiness%22&f=false …pic.twitter.com/rkcDJnk2Fa

Why? Less than 2.5% of kids have autism in ways that affects their verbal performance.

I don't think it's a verbal performance thing, I think its a socially mediated phenomena acting on similar pathways as disgust response and low receptivity to emotional aspects of language.

The social dimension is not perceptual in any way, it is entirely a dimension of multilevel inference. If multilevel inference is impaired, then social learning and social self expression will also be impaired.

A different way to say what i'm thinking is that the normal synethesia that happens in 'normal' brains is perhaps impaired in some way. It maybe due to noise impeding 'multisensory integration' and/or lower activation of socially mediated receptivity. 1/2

The bouba-kiki thing has been expressed in terms of it being a 'personification' effect, which as also been shown impaired / delayed in autistic (re: the shape/agency attribution studies). Suggests something specific is occurring on assoc pathways? 2/2

Naw, the bouba-kiki thing has to do with the geometric shape produced by the neural sound processor, it is like mild synesthesia. A synesthetic person would literally see the corners or baubles, a normal person feels that they are there somehow, an autistic person may not notice.

The "social mediation" works by complex alchemy like 3rd order inflections on prosody or facial expression that needs to be correlated to intentional context to be learned. If your brain does not pass signals far enough, it might be too difficult to learn via perception alone.

One of the recent studies on serotonin->vagal nerve->brain influence suggested that it indirectly boosts oxytocin in the part of the brain that was found to be associated with social aspects. I am hoping someone does studies on that.
