Other People Have Picutre Thoughts

Dear Reader's:

Over the years I have spoke with various people reading this Blog and they have admitted they "see things." The author of this quote has explained it very nicely.


"(I'm the same way -minus the books - yet, I can still see pages from notebooks and text that I studied 20 years ago and visually will try to drop down into the page to retrieve the information that I had memorized for a test)."

If this is an 'Autism Thought' it would be a STILL Picture Thought. While this reader occasionally has a thought like this and can translate it to the information that is needed, Autisitc's with proficient picture thoughts know this as a common every day thought. In fact it is a Still Picture thought the lowest level of autism thoughts. Temple Grandin wrote about them in Thinking in Picutres. If my guess is right and this really is a version of an autism thought, we have them all the time. THIS IS our common thought process and not just an occasional thing. In fact we have many more versions of picture thoughts that would make this simple still picture a really common "simple thing."

This reader converts-translates what is seen in the Picture thought-the Brain generated image "reads it" and forms the words to explain it or answers the question on a test. This is the point when we see a brain generated image and put it to words and where an Autisitc's speech comes from. Perhaps normal peope's words are also generated at this point to? If my theory is correct on Picture thoughts this is an example of the slow-motion Autism Picture thought."" ALL humans"" do all them all the time to think. Normal people do it so well they never even know they do it. Autistics think with the slow motion step-by-step process as a first approach to thought and not an occasional ideal. We think with picutres like this all the time If we are lucky OR we have a very weak verson of your normal thoughts and presnent as MR/DD. Proficient Picture thinkers do this and many more thoughts and eventually we can mimic traditional thoughts when all of our thoughts are mastered. Picture in Picutre Thoughts for example, are great at allowing us to finally keep our optic vison (eye contact on) and still think with our picutre thoughts -brain generated images.

In some ways this readers thought might be thought of as a Daydream.

The Movie Character Rain Man a Savant also (most likely) had a Still Picture thought just like this and simply read the phonebook word for word. Autistically this is the only thing he could convert to words. I think If our Autism success group were ever studied the Still Picutre and the "savant" type of thing would emerage as the defult autism we all seem to absently figure out. If Rain Man in Real life had the luck and the absent autism training we had he could do much more. Autism insists we are MR/DD but that is not true all we need to have happen is have someone teach us our invisible to us (and you) thought process that happens during the lack of eye contact. When our eyes are OFF our Brains are on. When we figure out what to do with our odd thoughts we can mimic yours eventually. None of this has been in a text book before.

If our Autistic Success group was tapped our milestones could be copied and even our course work could be copied and we could share all of this with all of autism. I predict Autism in this form would not be any more complicated than a pre school. Trouble IS what we have figured out are the sub thoughts the lower level thoughts that the build the mind. None of this stuff is obvious from a normal persons point of view as humans espcially humans in research are simply not wired to even approach the idea of autism in an effective way.

Autism is indeed Einstein based, nearly every thought we have is like this readers "picture" but we obviously present very bad-until we figured out our thoughts and convert them to yours. In fact it is very ironic but I wonder how many Einstein's are in MR/DD? and would not be, once we explain to them their core thoughts and how they are used. A picture it is said is worth a 1000 words and this reader knows there are probably more than a 1000 possible words in the thought and somehow converts only the vital details. Lots of untrained Autisitcs try to tell you everything thus we confuse you and us. Don't forget we are working down from Einstein and not "Up" to MR/DD.

Our Einstein 3500 picture thought per second proficient picture thoughts would challenge the best computer.
Just like the Autism person in a MR/DD situation: we to have our limits .We find our thoughts might be 1000% right but often times words just don't exist to describe what we know. Nor could get the average person to listen to our theory long enough to even care. Even worse "the assumptions" as you call them and the facts as we know them are not even realized facts in the general community yet. Sadly man is very primitive and we are not all that far advanced as we would like to think.

Speaking of thinking Man seems to have never had the knack for doing it, so it is no shock mankind is spinning it wheels on many research avenues. It seems all the innovation and progress Mankind has ever made has never been a "smooth move" but rather based on a lucky event. The great minds of our times might not have realized their genius or like in the case of Alan Turing and the Computer he had the knowledge figured out no one else had. He built it him self and otherwise once they seen it, people were finally impressed, until that happened he was just spinning his wheels. Writing and talking about the computer were useless thoughts for Alan Turing as most of the terms and ideas had never even been in existance yet.
