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 remember a boy being slippered for not doing his homework.

    I liked that teacher as he even gave me lifts in his car but he gave a boy six strokes for not doing his Homework.

    After that I saw the boy constantly painting in the artroom missing his other lessons.

    I in the end was not allowed to do Art as the teacher said it cost a shilling to buy the paint and it is a waste of money and time me doing Art.

    That boy no doubt had learning difficulties.

    It is well known that people with learning difficulties like drawing so I do not think it proves that Autistic people are all artists.

    The Autistic people who are supposed to have special tallents might be nothing of the sort just Autistic people enjoying Drawing.
