The Other Side to Autism
The world knows all too well of the Rain Man stereotype of autism where a person is a Math Genius and a social blundering idiot. That Gold Standard of Ignorance was the basis for the movie Rain Man and even the entire autism movement of today-see my previous post the child's book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night. It to Is the autism stereotype all over again.
When the Entire Autism Community looks for this type of behavior and in lots of ways molds us to fit their exception this is the autism they get. In a way they hope one of us might be a savant, that is good enough to parade to the TV /stage : This is the good for their ego. Odds are the rest of us are in a group home right where we are supposed to be in modern times. That also feeds the stereotype and heaven knows since the Rain Man stereotype has been instituted we are for sure the victim of autism ignorance. (with a sneer) Thank You Dr. Rimland. Autism ignorance is incurable it has too much money driving it.
Well, for the record the rest of us autistic people not fitting the Rain Man mold do rather well in real life. Modern Autism research knows of a few of us and naturally they will not even give us the time of day. We sour their milk. They will not allow our books to be published and for sure they will not stand there and allow the other side of autism to be told.
IF we are not a math Genius and a social blunder like Autism prefers, we actually do life pretty well and we are NOT a math genius, in fact most of us in the Social autism group that I'm describing here are math idiots and we might just barley handle daily math with the aid of a calculator. Lots of us seem to have a natural dyslexia and depending on our level of picture thoughts we experience more or less trouble with math. Even some of us including our Math genius and Autism Hero Alan Turing (1912-1954) were good at both. Had Alan been born 50 years later I predict Modern Autism would have got a hold of him and made him the next Rain Man. How Many Alan Turing's has it condemned to a group home? Alan by the way ,was a W.W.II hero and father of the computer. It was noted in The Enigma (1983 Hodges) He was an odd strange kid in School and NEVER gave eye contact! That is indeed the key to autism-lack of eye contact-is a great sign of working autism. In Autism thoughts, Brain generated images and Optic vision are interchanged, once we learn that and develop BOTH we do OK.
If Autism would ever care to do the right thing and admit to all of us and learn our odd thought process not only would they have egg on their face (it will wash off) It could explain all of autism and even why our proficient autism thoughts mimic traditional thoughts. I suspect there are a billion reasons not to admit to us, one for every dollar of Autism Research that has been funded-It is the Autistic person condemned to a group home that I feel for, not to mention their families that inadvertently helped put them there following all the gold standard advise of the Autism "experts." Experts may well be "experts" but that doesn't mean they present more than enough knowledge to be dangerous. In fact, they know enough of autism to realize if they admit to autism Dr Rimlands version, they built this charade upon , autism really does have a false foundation. Please help us put the foundation back under autism and try to erase the damage of Rain Man.
