Differnt methods of Processing.?

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.

  • Yes I have difficulty finding my way roung.

    My perception is below a hundred but verbal reasoning is above a hundred.

    The Maudsley discovered my difference in IQ when I was about nine years old in 1966.

    When I was grown up another Psychiatrist wondered whether I had a difficult birth as there is such a great difference between Verbal Reasoning and Perception.

    A researcher refused to do research on me as the difference between the two was so great.

    I am not good at learning foreign languages.

    Although I was brought up with German all around me when I was small I can only speak a few words of German.
