PLEASE TELL I AM NOT CRAZY. . . . . . . SURELY TO GOODNESS, I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE, . . . CAN I.??

Hendrow

What I am about to talk about is not a joke, I have not been taking any drugs, neither am I under the influence of alcohol. I think I am either very brave? or extremely stupid?? we shall see!! 

It is to do with how we (Me in particular) see things and what we can see. (With my eyes opened or closed, it makes no difference, I can also 'sense or feel' if you will 'somethings'

I am not claiming to be a Temple Grandin, or Rain-man (But I am sure you can guess what my Nickname was growing up."Raymond" that is an interesting life fact I think)  Back on the track, there is no easy way to say this.

I can see, like an X-ray into my partners body. Also I can see where the pain is in her body, including how deep it is. (This is great for her as she has fibro-myalga  I have never really told anyone before about this, (Cos it is kinda scary. And is not 'this will help you fit-in, material') So I am going to put this here, and also on my Facebook page. If anyone want's or need's to private message me about it, feel free to do so, know that I understand why you would feel the need to do that. I think the source of this ability is HFA-Autism, hopefully this will encourage anyone who is like me, to come forward. I guess what I am asking is 'What should I do with it?' There is a massive knowledge bank here on this site, I really need answers. I have put it out there now. Thought's anyone?? For the record I am nod delusional . . . . I eagerly await your replies, thanks from the depths of my soul. Hendrow aka 'Rain-man'

    Hi Hendrow,

    Having first had some really interesting discussions with others on here about your post, I would like to offer you the following.

    Do you think it may be possible that, because you love and know your partner so well, that what you are actually doing is empathising with her.  And, because you are ND, Deepthought informs me that it may be possible that you experience this very natural and normal act of empathising visually, which means that, this information (that the act of empathising gives you) presents itself in your mind as an actual ‘picture’ of where your partners’ pain may be?

    Empathising is the act of imagining another person’s feeling or thoughts so accurately, that we may feel as if we are vividly aware of them (the other persons 'thoughts' and feelings) within ourselves. Empathising is not mind reading as this information comes to us as a 'sense,' an accurate 'hunch' if you will, which we then interpret in our own heads. Empathising is a very natural and extremely important ability we all have (but some people are more consciously aware of when they are being 'empathic' than others) which offers us really important information about how others are feeling. Empathising helps us communicate with others and can also help with our own survival, such as when we 'sense' something is not right. And, as an ND, this information (this sensing) that empathising is providing you with, may come to your mind visually, as a picture, a colour, or even (Deepthought informs me) as a 3D Anatomical map.
