communication

abloner

I usually lose any control of myself if I plunge in a conversation with somebody. Some short exchanges are structurally short lived (like with a shopkeeper, or if you ask an information to a passerby in the street). But if the conversation has some consistence and durance I lose completely control and I need often a long time to reconstruct the bubble in which I live (in which I only may live). One technique I employ with some success is to devote myself to solitaries for some time after quitting the exchange. As solitaries (free cell for example) engage the left hemisphere only, I hypothesize that engaging the left hemisphere I may put the right one at work to rebuild my emotional bubble. I may suggest that this is one reason for which people in the autistic spectrum tend to “lecture” others. Lecturing others about some subject you think you know well avoids dialogue and maintains your false “integrity”.

  • Do I exist?  What’s the meaning of my presence on this earth? I don’t know what has been done in the context of the NAS campaign “I exist!”, also because I do not live in the UK. Though any solution about the problem of adult (“adult”: are old people to be included? I am 78). Some points anyway. The problem should be faced in view of the totality of the disables: deaf mutes, blind people, paralytics, in a sense also people fatally ill, MSs, bipolar, mentally disturbed  and, of course, ASD mild or not mild who have never been diagnosed and who are the more invisible. Some problems are the same for each of them.  Dependence on others in a massive way with no chance to pay back in some form. Existence, being born, is not in itself a title to reclaim help from others whom you have never had benefited with an affectionate sustenance (sons and daughters). And, after all, you may have no living relative. The public, the state, the health services subsist on the basis of an abstract architecture of society: the universalism of most (mainly monotheistic) religions. Is this enough for a second or third rate integration of disabled people?

    This post was meant within a differents subject. As it is here looks like simply a rant. And it may appear rather obscure. I will try to make it more clear, if possible. The point anyway was to reject the idea that assistance may be enough. To put it briefly I would like that there be some chance of full moral affective  citizeship in humankind, something different from a paid pusher of a wheelchair. A metaphor of course.
