The Human Ape
The Fifth Great Ape
A Study of Human Behaviour from the unique perspective of Aspergers Syndrome
School Days..
Infant's school was predominantly uneventful; however, in junior school, my distinct behavior and IQ became apparent to both pupils and teachers, which prompted their subsequent actions. Within the school environment, my inquisitive nature was viewed as disruptive and disobedient due to my questioning.
Consequently, I experienced immediate ostracization and bullying from my peers. Although I displayed all the behavioral characteristics of Asperger's Syndrome yet was never recognised.

Morton Park Junior School
I attended Morton Park Junior School from the ages of 5 to 11. Early on, my vulnerability, stemming from Asperger's Syndrome, became apparent to my peers. Their behavior transformed swiftly from amicable to violent and bullying. A particular pupil would intercept me on my walk home, attempting to fracture my nose with physical blows.
Despite my parents informing the school following my return home with a bloodied nose, the bullying not only continued but escalated. This experience exemplifies that humans, even at the age of 5, are capable of bullying, ostracizing those who differ, and acting in accordance with their inherited genetic predispositions.
They perceive vulnerability as an opportunity for exploitation and domination, revealing the profound entrenchment of this behavior within the genetic makeup of NT Humans. The teachers did not intervene to halt the children's behavior directed at myself and others who were different; instead, they appeared to accept it as an established reality.
​
Morton Secondary School
The true challenge arose upon my entry into secondary school. Bullying commenced without delay, and once more, the teachers remained passive, allowing the pupils to act with impunity.
Morton Secondary School functioned as a locus of tribal, hierarchical ape-like behavior, where bullies exploited those perceived as vulnerable, while teachers remained indifferent.
The teachers appeared preoccupied with extramarital affairs and the gratification of their egos. As before, my autistic traits were not recognized.
​
My days between the lessons there were spent hiding by my self in all the dark nooks & crannies of the school structure to avoid the bullies & I developed another behaviour as to walk about purposely with meaning as if I was heading somewhere, or had a errand or a job to do. This for the most part deflected the tyrants & bullies that infested this school away from me, another technique I devised was appear 1 or 2 minutes just before the lesson started that way there was less time outside of the lesson class's waiting to go in and consequently less 'wounded prey' to the instigators of the violence.
​
To the pupils there I was an easy target, I had none or very little theory of mind & having aspergers to them I appeared vulnerable & effectively fair game. Their would be no repercussions & I believed most things people told me after all I had no reason not to believe them. So to them i was seen as an idiot even though in all probabilities I had twice or three times their IQ.
​
Morton School served as a stark illustration of the psychological assertion that children and adolescents often display psychopathic characteristics. While most individuals develop the capacity to regulate these tendencies, some remain within the realm of psychopathy, unable to comprehend the damage they inflict and devoid of empathy.
The pervasive psychopathy among the pupils was particularly memorable; they appeared wholly unaware of the pain they caused, or if cognizant, utterly indifferent.
It was a ruthless dog eat dog environment which was portrayed as education, but we now know the school process & education is nothing more than programming that is preparing people for the work place. Psychologists refer to education as 'Social Conditioning'
​
Establishing a relationship with these individuals proved futile, as there was a significant intellectual disparity. I was readily categorized as an out-group member, and their actions substantiated this premature, erroneous assessment. Driven by inflated egos and illogical emotions, they behaved with impunity.
​
Similar to other primate groups, the dominant children were accompanied by a cohort of sycophants, prepared to execute any request to enhance their standing or ascend the perceived social hierarchy. This behavior appeared to operate on a near-subconscious level, with the children impulsively adhering to their fluctuating emotions, demonstrating an inability to reflect upon the ethical implications of their conduct.

Many years after leaving school, I encountered several former pupils and was dismayed to discover their lack of personal growth. They persisted in displaying sarcasm, arrogance, egotism, and a tendency to criticize others' appearance, and they continued to engage in bullying. It was perhaps a manifestation of my Asperger's naivety to assume they would have progressed beyond their abusive and primitive behaviors. Regrettably, bullying appears to be deeply embedded in the genetic makeup of many NT Humans.
This predilection for exploiting perceived vulnerability, combined with an inherent intolerance of difference and a deficiency in self-actualization & introspection, creates a destructive dynamic. Bullying will not be eradicated through campaigns or slogans; it will only abate with the evolutionary advancement of NT Humans. Consequently, individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, who experience persistent negative interactions, such as repeated bullying, which exacerbate misanthropic tendencies, must await this evolutionary change.

While I fully endorse these recollections, I must clarify that my interpretations, derived from over a decade of research and study in genetics, anthropology, and primate behavior, constitute my objective opinion. I posit that the behaviors exhibited by the Neuro Typical Humans discussed herein are predominantly attributable to genetically driven behavioral patterns, with negligible influence from parental nurturing.
