WATCH THE GAP

Looking for a general discussion of the ASD Gene discovery.

quote "Other work has shown that the brains of individuals with autism have weak long-range connections yet possess excessive short-range connections when compared with healthy individuals. These connectivity problems could underlie the characteristic social problems of the disorder, said Rudie"

What are your thoughts on the social gap period, I'll give you a personal example,, I get a visit from the council every Friday to check up on me, am I paying the rent, cleaning the house, paying bills, not sitting in the dark without electrical, because I scared to go to the local pakistani shop. Anyway, the gap between every visit has me, I am stressed like hell althought it is the same people at the same time, it is as if they are visiting for the first time, every time. Do other people with autism find this...?

Am I going social blind over time by a genetic brain gap, so that it is always socially raw if there is a gap of time period between social exchange. I am okay,  going to day-care centre, but if I am not there for a few days, due to stress. It is like I am going through the doors for the first time. And when I am there after a gap, I go into oversensory overload. So, my thoughts are, is this gene related to brain function. Long term weak connection(social memory gap over time ), yet short-term strong connection(panic, sensory overload on the day).

Any thoughts people Undecidedon my muse.

Furthermore, is set a routine just a way of correlating the short and long term social brain gap, so there is less of a gap or no jumping into long-term which causes stress because there is no solid social connection in the brain(uncertainty anxiety of the unknown environment, which is known but not socially remembered by brain function), so therefore a stress point.

Even meeting a friend again or even a doctor, dentist appointment after a gap in time,, is like a first date, interview, exam day..., the gap of fading a memory of social exchange, so I don't know how to start it up again, again, again. Good note, everyday I wake up is like I am born again, I sometimes think, where am I. I have even have days awake feeling like I sleeping awake in dream. Thererfore, grounding into what I feel is a false reality is hard for me. Someone please send me a script and what parts you all play, Oh can I be the Universe. Smile
