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 do not know whether you are on the Autistic spectrum.

    Not everyone who is depressed is Autistic.

    When I was nineteen a Psychiatrist said that I was mildly Autistic.

    That was back in 1976.

    In 1966 a Psychiatrist at the Maudsley wanted to send me to an Autistic School.

    I did not go to one.

    It is all probably going to change soon with the new brain scan so they wont have to go by life stories or patterns of behaviour.

    A new brain scan has been invented which can detect Autism.

    There are reports about the new brain scan last year I think August 2010 which you can find on the web,

    Someone was told that the patient does not have Altzimers partly the result of a brain scan so Autism might be detected that way.
