Differnt methods of Processing.?

David

I heard that Autistic people are supposed to be good at drawing.

They announced it as though it was a great discovery that we process things differently.

I am not good at drawing and have very bad perception so could not do Geometry at School.

That might be because of  Co-Existing conditions such as Dyspraxia.

I do remember a Psychiatrist wondering whether I had a difficult birth because my Verbal Reasoning is good but Perception is poor.

The difficult birth could have damaged the perception side of my brain.

One researcher said that she cannot do research on me as my Perception is so poor so I am not typically Autistic.

I am sure there are many people labelled Autistic  who have poor pereception and are not good at drawing such as myself.

I wrote an article which said Do not Steroetype Autistic people and Non Autistic People.

We are all different and people with the label Autistic are so different from each other.

May be things will change when the new brain scan is in opperation as not so many people who are not really Autistic are given the label as Autistic.

Looking forward to replies.

  • I have just listened to a Radio 4 Programme  Between our Selves about Asperger Syndrome. Tuesday April 5th 2011.9am Radio 4.

    I think it is repeated tonight at 9PM or 9.30PM.

    In any case I expect  you can listen to it on your computer.

    Literally if your computer has that faciiity to listen to programmes.

    I wonder how many people are listning to it.

    Yes it is true that Asperger people take things literally.

    On the other hand:

    People in the street do sometimes ask me whether I am alright and I am afraid in my case they mean it.

    One lady said if you stop suddenly that could be a sign of a heart attack.

    I still maintain that everyone with Asperger Syndrome are individuals so most generalisations are wrong about Asperger Syndrome as explained in my above E Mail

    Even more so with Asperger Syndrome as Asperger Syndrome only means Autistic traits.

    I am not married like the man talking on the radio but people think I talk too much to other people about myself.

    I am different from the man interviewed on the programme.
