Brett, this brief series has been nothing short of impressive and I'm deeply grateful. The individuals you've integrated into your theory are people I've been following closely for years, such as Jordan, John, Iain, Jung, and Neumann. You've skillfully tied them together. Furthermore, your elucidation on the relationship between autism and positive schizotypy, and its connection with brain lateralization, resolved my own inquiries in a profound way. Your work in this area truly demonstrates the depths of your understanding. Thank you.

fascinating review of experiments and literature, a bit much to take in, but i skipped thru to get the overview. i'm definitely buying into the distinctions in right and left hemis you're detailing.

I find it very tough to place myself on the Autism - Scitzotype Continuum. On the one hand I chose physics as a degree, I love systematising things and good attention to detail, I love concepts and being very precise. However I have a vivid imagination, paint, prefer broad ranging ideas and I seek novelty and insight. My Dad was also Bipolar and I definitely had close calls with psychosis in some acid trips.

My guess is that I have a natural positive schitzotype disposition but have trained my left hemisphere?

Where do you fit on the continuum?

To do with embodiment. With the right hemisphere damage, you mention some things that can result from that, would you say that for example body dismorphia/dissociation or specific cases of anorexia nervosa could also be a result? Sorry if my question doesn't make sense or is vague.
