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.

  • I feel for you so much. You sound like my son although with our help he has improved considerably. Why are you undiagnosed? Can you not go to your GP and get him to refer you to someone who can give you a diagnosis. I know there is a lot of talk about being pigeon-holed or labelled when you have a diagnosis but I have found that it has helped my son a lot.

    Who looks after you? Can they help you to get a diagnosis or at least some help?

    Even if you don't get help with the aspergers you should get some help with depression. Be sure to tell your GP how you feel about being better off dead, he must help you!

    By the way you are wrong you are not better off dead, people care about you and would hate a world without you in it!
