- 2005-01-28 Monkeys Pay to See Female Monkey Bottoms: yes, this is actually relevant to autism. Monkeys also "pay" to see pictures of higher-ranking males, and have to be "paid" to view pictures of lower-ranking males – even without having met the males in the pictures – they are somehow determining rank simply from looking at the picture. This has implications in the field of autism, because autistic people show a marked lack of interest in looking at other people at all, much less in deriving information about social rank and other related attributes.

Notes
- Is this video true? That is, it implies that the person we see is the person who wrote the words we hear speech-synthesized – is that the case? While on the one hand it seems insensitive to even ask that, on the other hand it seems almost deliberately engineered so that it would seem insensitive to ask it... and the way the autistic person talks seems far more politicized and clichéd than I would expect from someone on the neurodiverse spectrum (based on admittedly limited experience). I am not saying it is not possible or even likely that it is genuine, but I couldn't dismiss the nagging worry that something was being manufactured or posed somehow for exploitative purposes. (I hope I'm wrong; if I am, I'd love to invite her to come visit us in chat!) --Woozle 18:08, 26 January 2007 (EST)
