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.

  • hmm i am an undiagnosed aspie,who has social phobia,selective mutism,ocd,severe depression,severe anxiety,hundreds of phobias and other problems. I was never good at anything and envy those who has a special talent in something. I am 43 yrs old and have problems with every aspect of life. There doesnt seem to be any help or support for someone like me with complex problems. I have problems understanding all sorts of paperwork with complicated words and numbers. I have problems understanding technology and only can cope with emailing and looking up websites. I speak slowly and have slow movements but speak ok. I didnt speak a full sentence with anybody until i was 26. I lack life skills which other people my age take for granted. I dont feel i have much of a life and will have less of a life with david cameron prime minister cutting benefits and forcing people in full time jobs who are unable to cope with all these anxieties. I think i would be better of dead!
