Do you think they made "Rain Man (1988)" as predictive programming for Autism

[guest]

People didn't use to act like that Dustin Hoffman character before that movie...Now maybe 2% of society are full on Rain man autistic, and upto 20% seem to have some slight autistic tendencies. Predictive programming?

He's court jester material.

No. Autism is predictive programming for a future of childless people that are programmers/software engineers/engineers-- they won't all be childless. Some will have a pass to procreate and have a child.

A lot of it is women waiting until 35-40 to have children because they were lied to about how fulfilling pursuing a career would be.

If autism didn't exist before Rain Man then explain Isaac Newton or any of those other weird geniuses who said a lot of autistic shit.

Maybe that is what all those shut-in monks in their monasteries were.

Alot of the early Islamic jurists were so focused on their scholarship, they never married...like Ibn Taymiyyah (RA) for example.

Nah. There were plenty of retard movies before that one. Hell, Mel Gibson made one in the 70s. Rain Main just got big.

I always thought Thomas Jefferson was autistic. He'd have to be for how much he spent writing in the days you had to dip the quill in ink halfway through every sentence. Plus the only women he could get were ones he owned. You ever hear that he edited the Bible to take out the miracles and supernatural stuff? Back when cut & paste meant using a real knife to a book. Turbo autism.

True retard behavior. Did he remove the first book of Genesis while he was at it?

If you want autism on display watch Silicon Valley on HBO. Or watch the Gary character from Veep on HBO.

Rainman had some role to play in the autism conversation. Before the 1950’s autistic people still existed but they were called “Idiot savants” - Geniuses who were social fucking weirdos and stunted in ways beyond their abnormally high intelligence. Then around the mid 1900’s we started realizing the “idiot savant” category expanded beyond geniuses and also included low IQ idiots who were socially retarded. Rain Man is one of the first films I can think of that flat out calls it Autism, even having to explain what it is because it was so new at the time.

What Rain Man did was clarify what “autism” was divorced from the term Idiot Savant, but it painted a ”stereotype” of what autistic people were like: Literally retarded people who could count toothpicks without even looking at them. We now know, through the broadening of the words definition, that most autistic people are more like Dan Sobel or Chris Chan than Issac Newton.

I think they did. They either got locked up in asylums, mercy killed, or made into jesters / freak shows.

Exactly this. It’s like the whole topic of being a tranny. I’m sure there were some niggers in the 1600-1700’s who wanted to prance around in a dress. We wouldn’t call them trans because the word didn’t exist, they were just weirdos.

I think something is going-on regarding autism, but I'm not sure that's it. I've seen a doc which included the real 'rainman' & he's nothing like modern autismos

Niggers!!!!

Yes. They were referred to as "cretins" and were tossed into lunatic asylums, away from the eyes of polite society.
