I thought I was perfectly normal well almost and my brain felt OK but apparently I might have a developmental disorder. This set me on a road of intense concentration to find a logical explanation for the autistic mind. I am going to present my findings to you now so that you may also understand autism in a way that makes sense. Can this mind be normal? Well yes it can for the simple reason that I have found there is not a single normal. There are in fact two. I have also found a few other things you might find interesting and so if you want to understand yourself and those that you know you need to read this. Charles Darwin set out the concept we will follow with these words. "Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation. Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history". There is however something missing from this vision and that is not everybody naturally acquired each mental power. By following a logical path through evolution we can understand what is normal to expect in our behaviour. We can also see why we are not all the same. We will journey through early human history and a life driven by fear. We will see the monsters we were so afraid of and how we evolved to avoid them. This eventually drove us to a home where we evolved our primate form. We had a utopian life in the trees however through our greed we literally fell from this Eden like existence. Next we look at our hominoid evolution through to the creation of the single human family. Following this comes the evolution of the tribe. The twist in the tale is that both existences have survived into the modern world. We as a species are not formed out of a single mind but two distinctly different minds.
