    that video is limited in accuracy as it is predicated on the idea that the split brain was originally a single organ but became divided at some point leading to more defined differences between the two sides whereas those of us born this way have had our whole lives to cope, adjust, and compensate at the conscious as well as subconcious level

    Thanks for sharing! What would you change in the video?

    I have a somewhat elevated sensitivity to interpersonal interactions that result in involuntary embarassment displays that i try to ignore but seldom succeed at…and aside from the occasional redfaced reaction to a normally undetectable stimulus i think ive done pretty well

    That sounds interesting! Could you share some stories with us please?

      Not a lot to tell. Always happier (and safer) alone so work to maintain that lifestyle as much as possible outside of having to work for a living like everyone else. Like i said the only way this condition differentiates me from “normal” people is the reflex redface that pops up at inconvenient times. Since that video is as old as it is i would add some more details of new theories that have been brought to light since then. People like me are not different enough from anyone else to be noticeable unless you spend a lot of time with us, which, as i said i work to avoid ,)

          I was involved in an accident where i was knocked unconscious and as a matter of routine the er had a catscan done. It showed a larger than normal “empty” space in my head that they thought mightve been fluid buildup from a concussion. I was talking clearly despite the apparent pressure on my brain so they sent me to a neurologist at a larger facility who ran a series of mris that showed a lack of a corpus callosum as the cause of extra space.

              I was told by the neuro that the incidence of this is approximately 1:24000 births, so not exactly rare but not real common. Bet that ratio would drop if more autistics were actually scanned
