We Are Only Dreaming
No Pun intended - I speak the truth- If a traditional person were to "know us" they would after meeting us on an autism level think-gee they are thinking with my day dreams-Technically it is much more than that but, when we don't hear you and our optic vision is off (lack of Eye contact) we are trying to think with our natural for us at least autism thought process.
If you have ever tried and probably been not real successful at explaining a day dream or a sleep dream you have had you have experienced what it is we do autistically to convert our thoughts to words and actions and traditional communication. Your Dreams are very TAME and for us would be a 'no brainier' as we would translate them to words with extreme ease. Our picture based invisible to you picture thoughts are very complex and after all a picture is worth a 100 words, so which 1000 words to we use? How do you translate that autism thought to something takable and do it in a timely manor? We do it with Proficient picture thoughts many levels above what Temple Wrote about in her book Thinking in Pictures.
If you knew of our double-blind autism experience (or would be allowed to hear of it, in autism circles) you would see how our level of picture thoughts eventually mimic traditional thought. You would be amazed at our picture in picture thoughts and how they allow us to keep up with body language and give us a means to do timely speech. You would be shocked to learn how much of the conversation we have is learned and fits the rule of "the 99 conversations people have" Aspie in our group often figure out most conversations and just fill in the blanks with current information as even our best picture thought translations can't keep up with fast paced human conversation. Could you explain a day dream in the course of a fast normal paced conversation and not pre think about it?
Now then if your working too fast and your picture thoughts are inside out and backwards that usually means your results in the words you think and write are probably dyslexic, If you get 2-3-4-5 complete picture thoughts done at once and you can't decide which one to use you will probably stutter until you choose one thought to translate to speech. Every autistic person has his own picture thought dictionary we make as go threw life and perhaps we don't always make the best of associations for later life so that slows us down even more even if we do become pretty good at picture thought. You will see just how a picture thought becomes a spoken word if we are lucky. If we are really lucky you will see how we condinse our picture thought in to a streamlined autism process so that we might really have a chance at conversation. You will see AFTER we have learned picture thought how we ADD in emotions and body language to our normal functioing persona. You will see that your traditional thought automaticaly (if your really normal ) does all of this with ease. Actually you will be shocked to realize if you knew us that your normal thought is simply a perfectly honed and shortcutted version of our picutre thoughts.
Picture thought-your daydream based thoughts are indeed our baseline thought process our default natural first line thoughts. Once you figure them out like we have you will see how autism picture thoughts are simply the building blocks of the human mind and how your traditional thoughts are simply a completed version of our thoughts which are really yours in superslowmotion. You see how when miss the social clues and the body language why we miss that stuff, you will defiantly see how we can be so 'smart' as we are finally able to describe a very complicated thoughts. Our Thoughts are many more times more detailed than your simple daydreams. Splinter skills and obsession were once our natural learning hallway and those of us allowed to go there and explore our own insight also figured out along how to connect Autism Thoughts to the real world. NONE OF THIS has been a text book before so please don't expect any autism 'professional' to know or respect what it is we have done, it is just too obvious and worse yet detrimental to the autism establishment that missed the entire point to autism.
As for Autism or psychology ever admititng to us don't count on it ,I know from the inside information of this this autism thought process the normal thought you use has one serious flaw and that is emotions, they too often rule your logic process and thus despite our obvious figured out autism and connection to the real world we have been labled as anything but 'expert'. Greed and Ego also shortcuts in the normal human thought process also plays in with emotions and do their part in making man so ignorant. I am 43 now and short of a major event in mankinds history ,I will (we will) never live long enough to overcome this emotional greed and ego barrier the traditional thinker represents. In simple terms how can we ever overcome the 1000's of 'experts' of autism and psychology that will not even give us the time of day for fear our double-blind knowlege is not good for their trade. It is too bad people quit learning when they are too young and even worse think they figured it all out. All the Autism professionals have to do is unite our anthropology glean our information but doing that would cripple their own status-now then what professional would fathom committing suicide?
