#2What if growing bigger, more connected brains is the next evolutionary step?
Doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to me.

Is there a survival and reproduction advantage from that?

No. Too many fully connected layers.

The trouble seems to be the lack of tidal pools to isolate stimulation. Maybe that will happen, but ASD people need to have a lot more babies

Good luck with that social awkwardness thing going on.

The fitness function that would govern that evolution would be new though. We’d be intentionally optimizing for brains that work that way with some new social or technical construct. Like if we said “autism is the new exposed ankles” and suddenly had many more babies who also demonstrated that trait. Or if we had access to technology that would select for that outcome, gattaca style.
