Nature vs. Nurture

[Erwin Rotten]

Anytime I see this kind of thing, I always have to remember about two things: "the wolf boy" and "the man who thinks he's a wolf".

One has a boy abandoned in the forest, and raised by wolves. He grows up with wolves, doesn't have a mirror, and believes the female wolf to be his mother. The other cubs are his brothers and sisters. He learns this from a young age and the brain develops to keep this locked in memory, like a language. All these things are natural to him, even though he's a human acting like a wolf, and the thought of being human is alien to him, because he's never experienced it.

The other has a teenager who wants attention and has a mental disorder, and he tries to be a wolf to gain friends. The second no attention is given or people are done with his nonsense, he returns to being normal or migrates to a different phase. He CAN be normal, but doesn't want to be because being normal doesn't give him attention or make him feel special. This feeling of wanting to belong is normal in anyone, but they want to belong in a group that makes them feel superior. Any other group and they feel like a square trying to squish into a triangle slot, because it's something they simply wouldn't prefer.

Both of these are empty vessels and are simply reacting to the world around them in different ways. Someone like Chris Chan was born with old parents, couldn't really go outside and play, didn't learn social skills, but on top of that had burgers of the ass. He was bullied, so he wanted to be safe in his cave. These are all natural reaction, but the way he does it is unnatural due to his mental perception. He's kind of like the Wolf boy, but his brain prevents him from experiencing the human parts of life, so it's rather alien to him.

To put it in a weird way, nurture is a liquid and nature is the glass that holds it. Sadly, Chris Chan is jizzed up orange fanta held in a cup full of holes that's shaped like a balloon poodle.

I think nuture plays a huge role in how the lolcow acts the way that they do, but nature honestly is the root of it all. You can raise an autistic child to have all of the social skills they'd need to go through a normal life, but you cant really change their nature, as they are predisposed to those behaviors regardless. In my own experiences, I've seen different ways parents go about handling a child with mental disabilities, and both seem to have their own outcomes, but in all honesty, they can't really help who they are.

Raising an autistic child as if he were any other normal child can turn into neglect, and leads into the child not really understanding why they are different and why they process things the way they do, and can be ignorant when the time comes for peer involvement.

Having them be coddled, on the other hand, while having them aware of their autistic behaviors, also leads them to become entitled and enahnce their own autism, even going as far as to use it as an excuse for why they act so shitty.

tl;dr just gas the autism out of the gene pool
