I noticed a piece appearing yesterday, Autism in California increases twelvefold.
In this short essay I described hypothetical repercussion of a resurgence of matrifocal values. Males formerly shut out of the procreation pool, those with Asperger tendencies and an affiliation with compulsive pattern replication and non conventional social skills become highly valued in a world where computer programming is a highly desired talent and a macho high testosterone mating strategy becomes less important than a man that won’t inhibit a woman’s ambitions.
California seems a window into the future, not unlike Scandinavia. 1960’s waves of hippiedom suggesting that the laid back male was an acceptable mate has evolved into the Sillicon Valley unconventional at-home-with-the-abstract male working overtime to achieve material success.
A question is whether the evident increase in autism in California is a suggestion of things to come across the country.
