Definition
This term can be used to define the lack of formation (angesis) or the formation and subsequent destruction (dysgenesis ) of an organ. When speaking about int in a neurodiverse context, it refers to the corpus callous (AgCC). This is a very rare condition. The film Rain Man’s inspiration was born with this difference.
Angesis and Dysgenesis have three common expressions:
- Reduced communication between the hemispheres of the brain resulting in reduced transfer of sensory-motor information.
- Cognitive processing is slowed.
- Problem solving and complex reasoning weaknesses.
The outcomes are weaknesses in:
- complex and rote information retention
- memory retrieval
- inflexible thought patterns, literal language expectation
- weakened creativity and emotional processing especially facial emotions
- social awkwardness leading to isolation and loneliness
