Aren babies capable of demonstrating more varied emotions and moods, both positive and negative, during the time between 9 and 12 months of age?
It is true that most babies from 9 to 12 monthsof age are more capable of demonstrating emotions and moods than one at an earlier age. But there are notable exceptions to this rule. Autistic children are not more capable of demonstrating emotions and moods at this age, nor at any succeeding age, nor for the rest of their life. When one understands how the amygdalas operate invariably to retrieve previously stored physical body states, it comes as no surprise that stored emotions from an early age should be invariably re-evoked at later ages. What is different about autistic humans is that at an early age, as early as birth for some of them, they began to use their precocious cognitive memory, and once they do that no more doyles are stored in their limbic system’s amygdalas. Non-autistic children do not begin to use cognitive memory until the age of three and this new parallel adult-type memory capability does not take over all memory storage until the age of five years.
