Watson believes that the DNA shapes everything that makes us who we are. He does not believe that the way we are brought up shapes the personality or type of mind we have. All that makes up who we are is written in our mind and in our DNA. He thinks that if we continue to research and study our genes we will be able to see what variations or mutations cause different problems. He focuses much on autism and the recent DNA studies that have been made in regards to it.
He thinks that the autism is rooted in certain genetic mutations that are most likely made when two people with similarly “male” minds conceive. He describes a male mind as one that is more concentrated and better at math and computation. A female mind is one that is more compassionate and caring. It has be thought in the past that autism was caused by a mother that does not pay much attention to her child. Watson believes that the truth is that the child is autistic because of the genes that he has been given. However it is also true that most mothers of autistic children have “male” minds and are therefore less compassionate because of that.
