@St_Rev@NineBandedBooks I like the finding that older fathers have more autistic children - socially alterable frequencies of failure mode -
@sarahdoingthing That's also consistent with the failure mode hypothesis, tho--older father = more de novo mutations. -
@St_Rev exactly - seems to go along with more of what we think of as civilization. wonder how it applied to ashkenazim in europe! -
@sarahdoingthing There's a population that was hella distant from a stable environmental niche. -
@St_Rev Exactly - and tons of cultural technologies to prevent paternal confusion (i.e. subvert female choice for younger sperm)

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing Of related interest: http://westhunt.wordpress.com/ I would think the case for adaptive sociopathy to be strongest. -
@NineBandedBooks I think there's a strong case for sociopathy on game-theoretic grounds as@sarahdoingthing suggests, autism less so. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing I might phrase it differently: Sociopaths know how to get laid, autistics less so.
