[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP what is your concern, specifically?

Are you worried your child is a sociopath, neurodivergent, or something else? Not judging, just...that has to be your concern, right?[/quote]

I'm not concerned, I'm just curious, as I think it's so interesting.  My husband is similar in lack of disgust, but I think our child has him beat.

PPs have brought up that disgust is an evolutionary trait meant to protect us.  And yet, I think my child and husband would probably do a lot better in the wild than most other people.

And then the fact that I very much feel disgust, as do my other children.  I practically faint at the sight of blood, and cannot stare at roadkill that has entrails spread all over the road without feeling sick to my stomach.  So maybe it is a genetic thing - that my husband has more genetic material passed down from people who lived in the woods and hunted and gathered, and I have more genetic material from people who lived in farming villages.

I have no idea.  I'm merely offering it up as an interesting concept and variation in humans.[/quote]
