I thought I was the only one that saw an interesting analogy associated with John Calhoun's "Behavioral Sink Experiment" and some forms of what is defined as Autism, particularly among the populations of Japan and South Korea. Someone else finally brought it up, in a Forbes Article discussion on Autism, I was recently a part of.
There is usually no serious response, of any kind, to my comments on what I observed as an analogy, so I will provide one here. With a Google search on the keywords on one of my user names "Aghogday" and "Behavioral Sink" or "Autism" and "Behavioral Sink" under the User name Art2, one can see my comments on the issue, in a variety of different contexts associated with Autism.
The potential "Epigenetic" influence in one generation to the next, or in one lifetime in response to changing social environments and other environmental challenges, is likely applicable to John Calhoun's "Behavioral Sink" experiment in the 60's.
Maternal prenatal stress, hormonal changes in mother and developing fetus, and resulting changes in neurodevelopment are also potentially associated. Particularly in context with Calhoun's observation of "The Beautiful Ones", in his experiment.
The loss of social roles with continued subsistence can result in interesting social animal consequences. This is another one of many potential underlying factors associated with neurodevelopment and resulting or acquired behavioral changes/impairments, in one lifetime, in reciprocal social communication and associated observed behavioral impairments. It is not very popular or politically correct in some avenues of communication to talk about rats and people in the same sentence, but we do share a common ancestor, about 75 million years ago, that was a rodent, not a primate.
The "Behavioral Sink Experiment" is an excellent example of RRBI type behavioral impairments among social animals in response to chronic social stress, as well as impairments in reciprocal "rat" social-communication.
The distance some humans place between themselves and the rest of the social animal kingdom, is amusing to me, and part of a culturally derived illusion from the byproducts of collective intelligence. There are potential lessons to be learned that are often not heeded, in part, because of that contrived illusion of distance throughout recorded human history.

Social Animals are well evolved for intermittent positive reinforcement. Continued access to instant gratification is a relatively new experience among any large population of social animals. At least on this planet.

This is part of the reason I doubt many species venture far from their planet, before becoming extinct. They may never get past the instant gratification phase of collective intelligence. :):(
