“Neuroscientists have observed that Autistic brains continue to develop...” — Devon Price Quote

“Neuroscientists have observed that Autistic brains continue to develop in areas associated with social skills for far longer than neurotypical brains are believed to. One study, conducted by Bastiaansen and colleagues (2011), observed that though young Autistic people experienced far less activity than allistics in the inferior frontal gyrus (an area of the frontal lobe involved in interpreting facial expressions), by age thirty no differences between non-Autistics and Autistic people were evident. In other words, Autistic brains eventually “caught up” to neurotypical brains, in terms of how actively they processed and interpreted facial expressions as social data. Other studies have found that Autistic people over the age of fifty are comparable to allistic people, in terms of their ability to make sense of the motivations and emotions of others.”

“In 1968 when I was in high school I built a four-foot-tall remote control robot with pneumatic cylinders that operated his hands. My robot won first place at a science competition at the University of Alabama where my high school was the only African-American school represented. That was a huge moral victory.”

“A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.”

“In human terms, think of AI as an ‘intelligent machine.’ While various definitions exist, at its core, AI is about machines performing tasks typically done by humans, predominantly making predictions. Will you buy a new dress? What’s tomorrow’s weather? Will a stock price rise or fall? Is that a cat or a dog in the picture? Draft an email for a job application or even paint a picture of your favorite vacation spot in the style of Monet.”
