Stop, meanie.

That wasn't a slight to als463 so much as a slight to this bullshit. I'm so sick and tired of certain fields being able to release these studies with these silly findings and these attention grabbing headlines. I love to read the "limitations" and "implications for future research" of studies.

****huuuuuuggg*****

you're my best friend now!!!




That must mean all the kindergarteners i've subbed for must have WS. The first day I walked in looking for the teacher, they sure as heck didn't care I was a stranger. 1/2 of them walked up to me and gave me hugs and wanted me to sit with them cause I was their new 'friend.'

Sure, we all have WS before we are verbally and nonverbally socialized.

I imagine (as do these researchers, perhaps ) that what makes it "WS" is the fact that humans who have been socialized (meaning, they are over a particular age and didn't grow up in a cage where they were kept from humans and left to their primal devices) still hold these traits.

True, but I know the article also mentions how they don't really know how much socialization impacts this study.

They state:

Less exposure to racial stereotypes could possibly explain the lack of racial bias in children with WS

Which I kind of think is a no-brainer. If someone isn't exposed to stereotypes, they are less likely to have them. Durrrrrr.


They also say that WS comes with mental retardation---which seems about right if what als is saying. I think the behavior has more to do with the severity of the retardation vs the actual Williams Syndrome.

I never knew I was missing out! Maybe that explains the string of bad relationships lately.
