What ARE you talking about?
DORIS in Bed is optic vision the same thing you would see standing beside me.
ROCK in the corner is a Brain generated Image (daydream kind OF) only visible to a picture thinker
This is a very advanced PICTURE -In-PICTURE autism thought and represents one of the last stages of Autism progress. YOUNG picture thinkers would have all of their optic vision turned off (Doris would be gone) and the BRAIN Generated Picture of Rock will fill our entire visual field.
When the thought is complete optic vision is restored.
What ARE you Talking about??
Dear Reader's:
These past few posts have invited lots of question via Email; Most people are asking What is Picture thought, What are you talking about? I have had the questions from Autisitcs and non Autisitcs alike. Some Aspies write and say I think I have thoughts like that but I try to ignore them. Others like, me KNOW them well and use them to full advantage.
These Picture thoughts have never been in a psychology class before and for us they were our naturally programmed thought process. They are not much different from Latin or any other foreign language except they seem to be the very basic 'minor computer code' if you will that humans need to have working. I bet traditional thinkers know our thought process and at it was properly pre programmed in their minds and naturally worked. Autistic on the other hand had to learn our basic computer code as for some reason it was NOT naturally working for us and once, it seems we have it figured out we to do traditional thought. These Latin thoughts have never been figured out before since they parallel normal thought but don't copy it. We might reach right back in time and prove to be the living missing link in evolution?
When We Think our OPTIC vision is canceled our Eyes are turned OFF and our brains replace the optic vision with a day dream or dream -a brain generated image we look at . :read: and translate into traditional thought. We learned to do this on our own by trial and error. We also learned how to deal with being blind, and deaf for a few seconds occasionally as we process our picture thoughts. We also learned HOW to water down our complicated detailed picture thoughts to simple words. Pictures are worth a 1000 words after all. Autistic Thoughts properly figured out are priceless.
We build upon the work of Temple Grandin and modern autism now kind of hates us for many reasons Typically we function too well and simply admitting to us deflates many of their views and positions. Our biggest disadvantage is we come out of our shell and completed our Double blind Experience in Autism and we are looking down the barrel of Rain Man's (movie) empire and few too many experts can't possibly know us or admit to us even IF they think we have merit. Politically as well as otherwise we are very LAST thing Autism ever needed to "know."
Please look in back posts of this blog for illustrations and explanations of our Picture thoughts. When You look over the Picture thoughts and think about them try to think what you have to do to describe a dream you had and take that process and turn it into a thought process and then describe it to someone QUICKLY. That in a nut shell is how autism operates. Those of us that have learned to think with those "dreams" in proficient picture thoughts do well, Others don't get along so well. PLEASE keep in Mind WHEN we picture think our Optic vision and hearing is off (although our eyes are open and look like they are working) and thus we don't do body language well. Also keep in mind process all those picture takes more brainpower than we have at times and thus we go into over load. Also note that proficient Picture thinkers have figured out the 99 conversations people have we have learned to do a lot with pre figured out traditional thought like you use.
The ringer of this whole mess is each of us has figured out Autism on our own, It thoughts and our picture thoughts are not visible to anyone else. Although we have found Autisitcs all over the world share the same picture type thoughts and milestones to make them happen we all naturally have our own private dictionaries. No matter if we speak Russian English or whatever the picture thought are the same. If It was not for the net we would have never met. Only a few of us have ever met in person. Everything about us screams something and mankind and academia have never been faced with the challenge of an odd population figuring out our own conditions? Just how do they admit to that? How do they spin it? Do they even admit to us? (humor) not if they are smart they don't) PLEASE if your touched by the Autism Spectrum insist someone Autism circles admit to us and perhaps all of mankind will be the better for it.
