Potions, Pills and Community Care by Dinah Murray
The autistic condition is puzzling, and not well understood. We think the first step towards understanding it is to see that it is not an illness, but a way of being. We think people like this are part of the normal variety of humans and that variety is a good thing. We outline here some different ways people can vary in terms of how they use attention, and explain the impact of that on life in society.

What is the point of Autism? by Andrew Walker
This is not a model of autism it is a theory about human beings in which autism has a natural role as contributing to essential diversity. The interest model of mind is a new way (graphic, mathematical) of conceiving of people as transient collections of desires/directed energies affecting and being affected by perception, imagination, cognition and action. We think it makes psychological data (people) easier to analyse.

These two papers are fundamental in setting out exactly how and why
evolution occurs at all: Evolution will select for populations which retain "variability," even though this is, at any given time, loss-making, predicting that we shall not observe populations with "optimal behaviour" but populations which can "learn".
