Michael Rutter Isle Of Man T.T.

[memoriae-lectoris]

Working with Folstein, he eliminated cases where there might have been illness suffered, such as rubella, or physical trauma before or during birth—because those incidents could account for some of the observed behaviors. He wanted only those cases where the possibility of inheritance remained an open question, where both children were of the same sex, and where there were clear grounds for diagnosing autism in at least one of the pair. Once Folstein’s travels were complete, her long journey yielded just twenty-one sets of same-sex twins who fit the study’s parameters of autism in at least one twin per set. This was not a surprisingly small number, given the relative rarity of twins in general, let alone of autism as defined by the study’s rather tight criteria. In any case, it would be the numerical relationships within this group that excited the autism world when Rutter and Folstein made their findings public in July 1976, at a conference in St. Gallen, Switzerland.

With Rutter looking on from the audience, Folstein took the stage and spelled out the numbers. Twenty-one sets of twins, she reported, had made the cut. Eleven sets of identical twins and ten sets of fraternal twins, with autism in one or both children in every pair. She and Rutter were virtually certain, she told the room, that they had not missed a single pair in their sweep of Britain. That number twenty-one, she reminded everyone, covered sets of twins where at least one twin had signs of autism—a small number, yes, but one that reflected the small odds of twin births crossing paths with autism in the first place. Then Folstein revealed the crucial finding: all four pairings where both of the kids had autism were identical twin sets. At the same time, among the fraternal twins, whose DNA was no more closely matched than any ordinary brother and sister, autism never showed up in both kids. It was stark, even in a sample set so small, and the conclusion was crystal-clear: genetic inheritance mattered in autism. As Folstein pointed out, the known odds of two kids in one family having autism were as low as 1 in 50. But with the identical twins described in the study, the odds soared to 1 in 3. That could be no coincidence. Genetics had to be in play. That day was a turning point in the framing of the origins of autism.

“I would imagine the white of the petals and the wet jasmine smell waiting to be freed from the bond of the shadow of my hands, so I would move my hands away from them. Immediately I could imagine the story beginning to form…My boundary between imagining and experiencing something was a very delicate one. Perhaps it still is. So many times I need to cross-check with Mother, or someone who can understand my voice now, whether an incident really happened around my body or presence.” Tito Mukhopadhyay How can I talk if my lips don’t move?

“From the mid-1960s onwards, child psychologists used the word ‘autism’ to describe the exact opposite of what it had meant up until that time. Whereas ‘autism’ in the 1950s referred to excessive hallucinations and fantasy in infants, ‘autism’ in the 1970s referred to a complete lack of an unconscious symbolic life…Michael Rutter, a leading child-psychiatric researcher who conducted the first-ever genetic study of autism, claimed in 1972 that ‘the autistic child has a deficiency of fantasy rather than an excess’.

The meaning of the word autism was radically reformulated from a description of someone who fantasized excessively to one who did not fantasize at all.”

Writing Report December 13, 2024

I’ve been a smidge sporadic on this blog recently, missing a couple of Friday posts due to family obligations.

Nothing serious, all good, just…time consuming.

My first scheduled 2025 project isn’t going to start on January 1st as planned…

…because I already started working on it November 18th of this year.

It was one of those things when the project just said, “It’s time!” and I found myself facing no other option than to just start writing.

Work on it has been sporadic; I’m at 7,600+ words right now but I haven’t had a real chance to write two days in a row on this project due to aforementioned family obligations.

This one is an indirect offshoot of my previous WIP, a story set in the very earliest days of the film industry in Hollywood.

When working on that novel, I needed to do some research on prostitution in the Old West since one of the supporting characters in the story is a real cowboy of mixed ancestry. 

I was pretty sure his backstory was possible based on what little I knew at that time about prostitution in the Old West, but admitted the exact circumstances of his ancestry did sound a bit farfetched.

I figured no harm, no foul since no matter how unlikely the circumstances, they weren’t flat out impossible and besides, his ancestry wasn’t a main point in my story.

But when I stumbled across a copy of Michael Rutter’s Upstairs Girls:  Prostitution In The American West at our local Open Book outlet, I figured great, now I can double check my assumptions and make sure my character’s backstory isn’t completely impossible.

Well, in the book Rutter mentions a real madam who possessed a backstory of her own that was so oddball it got me to wondering how she ended up where she ended up.

So I started noodling around ideas for a completely fiction story of a character like the real madam and how she might have found herself involved in the trade back in the day.

Originally I thought of doing this as a stage play, with most of the action taking place in the main parlor and all the shenanigans going on out of sight upstairs.

Problem : While a great set-up, I had no real story, just some interesting characters.

Again, a supporting character came to my rescue.  If I set my story in a specific year, I could place in the sporting house a then brand new technology that virtually nobody would know about except a small ground of people such as saloon keepers and madams.

If the ladies of the house didn’t know about it, it could be used to hide a crime by providing a criminal with an apparent alibi.

Great!  Now I knew my plot would be a mystery.  Act One would be my main character arriving to take charge of the sporting house, Act Three would be her figuring out how the crime was committed using the then-new technology.

What goes on in Act Two?

Well, we know the answer to that one, don’t we, boys and girls?

More research!!!

So now I’m delving into a whole bunch of books and history websites, not just on prostitution in the Old West but also on mining boom towns (because the ladies who serviced cowboys at the end of a long cattle drive were a different breed of cat from the ladies who serviced miners because the former customers would blow through town in a few days but the latter were regulars and as a result the mining town ladies needed to be something more than just passive, anonymous partners).

Rutter came to my aid again with another volume on the history of prostitution in the Old West, Boudoirs To Brothels (and dude, I am eternally grateful to you for all the detailed research you did but gawd, with a name like that you were pretty much doomed to make this topic your life’s work, no?).

And boy howdy, did Rutter ever supply me with a wealth of ideas to make Act Two work.

It mean abandoning the idea as a stage play and turning it into a novel, but by that time it was chompin’ at the bit and there was no denying it so…

…I started typing.

My previous WIP -- the Hollywood novel -- completed, I really didn’t need to do any more research on it. 

But in Boudoirs To Brothels Rutter included the story of one sex worker in the Old West that not only showed me my cowboy character’s backstory was one hundred percent plausible, but what actually happened was even more outrageous than I imagined.

And while my current WIP will not include the real historical person, I was glad to see she enjoyed a real life happy ending.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Mrs. Polly Bemis.

Allow no sleep to your eyes, no slumber to your eyelids. Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler. "

*cracks knuckles like this hasn’t been my dissertation* 

I really reccomend Bonnie Evans: The Metamorphosis of Autism in Britain and Steve Silverman’s Neurotribes book (specifically the later chapters).

Also shhhh don’t tell anyone I got Evans entire book here.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK436841/

Prepare to hear me ramble for a tiny bit. I wish I can go on but no one wants to see that. I should write my own post on this one day.  

The modern understanding of what we still recognise as autism (as in i.e as a spectrum) is probably at most around forty years old.

Warning period typical language to describe autistic people below.

The way Leo Kanner diangosed autism originally in the 1940s was also incredibly narrow and specific as well. So one would only get the most “extreme” cases leaving others to be ignored or diagnosed with something else. And even then they were probably diagnosed under “subnormal”, “pyschotic”, etc anyway.  That’s not even accounting half the shit they did with ECT and LSD to try and treat autistic kids. I digress.  It wasn’t until the 1960s & 1970s he started to retract his theories once the rest of his patinets grew up. Because not all turned out like Donald Trippett.

The joys of mental institutions and subnormal hospitals.  You can guess what happens next. It wasn’t pleasant.

Let’s look at Britian real quick because suprisngly a good amount of work there helped advance our understanding of autism.

They were only moving past the whole “childhood schziophrenia” thing in the 60s and in Britian it took the works of the then National Society for Autistic Children (National Autistic Society now) founded in 1962 by groups of parents with autistic kids who were essentially fed up with the lack of support from the government.   Also because autistic kids during this period were often deemed “subnormal” and “uneducable” (The mental health Act 1959 had still excluded autistics until 1970)  and the parents from those groups fought for the right for their kids to have an education and understand more about autism itself. And plus you know they didn’t want their kids in institutions. Even building specialist schools (*see Sybil Elgar) and later in the 1970s residential homes like Somerset Court.

*See Michael Edge story here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/nov/13/autism-first-child-growing-up

 The fact the word “autism” itself was used compared to childhood sczhiophrenia, mental retardation or pyschotic was also more specifc and neutral term and was a more attractive word that didn’t have the baggage the other words had.

Also fun fact. Would you also believe it was a fucking Tory (Willaim Compton Carr) who first brought up autism in the 1960 in Parliament?  

https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1960/may/18/mentally-handicapped-children

Plus passing laws in the 1970s which targeted disabled people in general but was a step foward in granting provisions and resources for autistic people. Panaroma even did a bit on highlighting autism to the public and the troubles these specialist schools had with lack of resources and fears about the future for many autistic kids who would probably end up in instituions rendering their work with them obselete. 

 Panorama - 1974 - Autism Provision  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRSs_WDmsV0&t=1620s

This along with tireless work from pyscholgists like Mildred Creak , Michael Rutter, Victor Lotter, Beate Hermelin, Neil O’Conner, Uta Frith, Lorna and John Wing.  And so much more who were often involved with autistic schools and the like.

*Note Uta Frith is also still alive.

There was also up and during the 1960s still a belief of “refrigerator mothers” too, that it was mothers cold parenting that caused their child to be distant. Like holy shit the stuff Kanner and Bruno Bettleheim said. Bettleheim fucking compared autism to being like a prisoner in a concentration camp. For additionaly points Bettlehim was also a Holocaust Survivor. Take that as you will.

Enter Lorna Wing who was a mother of an autistic child and along with her husband John who knew German and translated Hans Asperger’s work. Lorna basically helped formed the modern understanding of autism with the idea of an autistic spectrum during the late 1970 and 80s.

THE FUCKING 80S!

Concidentally a certain film involving a Rain Man was also made in 1988. There is also a scene where the nurse doesn’t know what autism is. Rain Man has its own problems but it did present autism to the best of their ability of the standard of its time. Raymond Babbit himself whose character inspirated came from savant Kim Peek  and Bill Sackter (a close friend of Barry Morrow) didn’t originate from autism. That was an additional thing worked into the film.

 But what is also important is how signficant that fucking film was in sheading light on something not many people had heard of until then for better or now. but it also unfortunatly set the standard and image of what Autism was in Hollywood even decades after its release.

LOOKING AT YOU SIA’S MUSIC!

Either way that paired with the conept of a spectrum and growing concepts of neurodiversity and people like Temple Grandin (also still very much alive) who are finally being able to tell their stories personally, you start to get increased numbers of people getting diagnosed especially during the 1990s.

And that’s not even getting into the whole Andrew Wakefield (sadly also still alive) shenaginery. Hbomberguy already said enough that speaks volumes on the man.
