Golden Age of Autism

Golden Age of Autism pre 1970
A Cocker Spaniel at a Cat Show.

Autism is BOTH Mental Retardation and Developmental Disability if handled incorrectly and it is also little professors Savants and Einstein if treated correctly. Yes, follow the lead of our un admitted to anthropology of Temple Grandin's and you will see were pretty normal people-modern autism is horrified of that. The fine line between success and failure in autism is never more obvious than modern autism antics post Rain Man the movie. It is as obvious as a Cocker Spaniel at a cat show; kind of related but opposite things. Suddenly autism is group homes, belligerent behavior problems, toilet issues in later life, and a general slurry of ignorance. Autism has only been this way since the Autism Empire was born 39 years ago-look at the mold modern autism people are poured from? Look at the mold OLD working Autism was poured from and rediscover the difference in our success quotients. See how the forgotten facts made all the difference in the world. See why we were much better off not being diagnosed. Only the most severe Autism cases were diagnosed prior to Rain Man where today, currently anyone looking funny gets the diagnosis and the full wrath of Rain Man's Curse. Even those of missing the curse would be in a group home if we too were subjected to the antics of modern autism-we are luckiest people on earth we missed the Rain Man curse.

That fine line of success in autism turned south upon the Dr Rimland's (father of Rain Man) over taking and building of the Autism Empire during his rein as Supreme Autism GURU. He either ignorantly or purposely forgot
the Crypto Sensitive Autism Traits that amount to old figured out working autism he obviously never understood to begin with so he could focus on his own Rain Man Mission-in Stardom. His Rain Man movie laid the Red Carpet for all of today's autism and paved the way for many psychology want to bee's to join in the autism parade. Opening the flood gate of autism and turning it into a buzzword psychology like he did/did nothing more than coax the fleas out of the red carpet. Indeed Dr Rimland and others knew of our anthropology and Rimland himself did more than his fair share to keep us hidden as he knew darn well admission to us, amounts to treason against his form of autism. I suspect he was in hopes the old time researchers he squelched would drop dead (many have) and even those of us that made it in life could be ignored long enough so that his empire could be self-sustaining and that wish has come true. The big billion dollar Autism Empire wears the very same blinders it was born with and it is not about to remove them for lingering fear it will exposed as faulty research and a needless epidemic ruining too many lives.

Autism has purposely turned its back on the worlds very best double blind research experiments ever completed and in the meantime has cheated mankind out of the building blocks of the mind. Still, Autism researches and guru's go to bed at night never knowing what they missed and even worse autism presnets as HORRIBLE so easily they just can't believe we made it.Autism is also equally sure it will never dig up the past for fear it really did miss the point. 40 years of autism as a needless epidemic forced upon too many people and families is more responsibility than any Billion Dollar Empire, including autism can withstand. With made for TV movies and celebrities galore from Larry King (Cnn) , Oprah and even NASCAR Races benefiting autism there is no way any of this stardom, fame and status can be jeopardized especially when the people with the answers to autism are only people in the world the autism empire ignore$. I bet you, If my Turing Motor and other inventions work out well they will beat a path to my door begging for money. Then they will seek ways for me not to cripple their empire.

For those in the spectrum searching for the answers look up our autism hero and father of the computer Alan Turing (1912-1954) his biography called The Enigma is our autism blueprint the same one that all of us in our anthropology absently followed. Few if any autism experts will read it and get a thing out of it but it rings a bell with many in the spectrum who have the inside "DaVinci code " to see what Alan really did and what we all did. It is the same stuff modern Autism people need to overcome and don't have chance to do as modern autism is work than help. We can convert this DaVinci autism code into real facts and add thousands of pages to the psychology books but I suspect we are too little too late mankind's ignorance is far more powerful than any knowledge man might try to protect for the sake of an Autism 'experts ego'.

Even Einstein gave up and knew he was trying to push a point he too was at a loss when he said something along the lines of the difference between stupidity and genius is genius has it limits. It seems Modern Autism has it own limits and they stop right where they started , 39 years after Autism Society of America really made a name for themselves ignoring the very facts they forgot to start with. So much for progress. Let's turn this horrible 39 year reign of terror "they call forward progress" back and put autism to a point where it was before Rain Man stuck his foot out and tripped us all. You often have to make two steps backwards to move forward.

Rich Shull on the blog Pre Rain Man Autism Feb 2008

Only one post this month

Dear Pre Rain Man Reader's:

Thanks for stopping by to look over this extensive blog. Weather you came from Stumble-Upon or a psychology website, a green web page, engineering, philosophy page or even an autism site welcome and feel free to look around. One of the most popular features of this page is my X ray of a needle in my foot. Type in X ray in the 'search this blog' and see an Autism Painless injury. Yes, I never felt that and walked on it for a day! And modern autism can't understand our medical conditions? Another popular post is called Playing Jeopardy! It tells of Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings and how I could see autism traits in his success. My most popular post of all time is called Catching a Ball in 2004 It explains how I turn Autism Off and on to do real life.

I'm sure the Autism Society of America will be delighted to hear this will probably be only post for February 2008, I have many irons in the fire with my inventions and I might not be able to post to the blog easily. To my many letter writers I appreciate your patience in my tardy response to your inquires and our ongoing dialogues, I will try to get to Email as I can. (Tammy BTW, I think your Son's splinter skill, obsession is ships and shipping, start off as we discussed with the mariners tables.)

To my autism reader's the Autism Convention has been announced (July 2008) and perhaps with your persuasion the Autism Society of America might be nice and ask some of us old autism folks to attend but, it's rather doubtful. For my part I promise if invited not to spend and more time than necessary discussing current events or politics but rather I have what we do during the lack of eye contact presentation all set up. It is the autism facts that will solve Autism's problems and connect mankind to his roots.


See you in the end of February 2008.

Picture Thoughts on TV (NBR on PBS)

From the ending segment of Nightly Business Report on PBS Thursday Jan 24 2008
Proving we are all picture thinkers at heart. (Autism's Core Thoughts)

The banter on the end of this edition of the Nightly Business Report (Public Televison in America) had the hosts reading and commenting on the idea many business people often Dream or Day Dream about solutions to their business problem. Many even dream while driving to work. To that I say well DUH! Autistic people like me that have figured out autism have been doing that for years as well as Image Streamers and others that think in pictures. My Inventions and Turing Motor started out in dream form.

The Picture thoughts the business folks think with are pure help and pure gold however and If only autism knew the whole story to autism they would know an autistic person has to picture think just to survive. While business picture thinkers enjoy their occasional good thoughts and those ideas are seen as wonderful and productive, Autism thoughts until they are learned from scratch in a never in print before thought process make us zombies. When coupled with the new Autism ideals of the modern Era: Autism is holding back all of mankind. The same genus these picture thoughts display and the insight they expose is the very same thing quality beyond savant Rain Man thoughts do. Untamed picture thoughts however the ones Modern Autism has no clue about also keep the modern Autistic person plastered to the bottom of the gene pool as their ignorance is fueling more of an autism crisis than the foreclosure crisis on wall street ever could.

The SAME Picture thoughts normal people do and treat as a special event that end up solving their problem is only a version of those of us autistic need to do just to overcome the most basic of issues. Once we learn our autism thoughts they mimic normal thoughts just like you use and then we to quit picture thinking for the mundane things and use picture thoughts for the best of things. When this Autism mess is all figured out someday those Picture thoughts the Business people delight in, will simply be proven and natural for all humans. In fact normal humans picture think all the time and just don't know it.Occasionally they get privileged to see their thoughts in a dream or see their thoughts stopped in mind "air" as they are forced to say I can picture him, her or it and can't place the name? Autistic people need to picture think every thought to overcome until we learn autism absently on our own then we can keep up. Normal thoughts are simply autism thoughts in super slow motion, thus all the connections at times.

Picture thoughts are MR/DD on one end and Einstein on the other and modern Autism Research is in the middle twiddling its thumbs genuinely puzzled why some of us do so well and others don't. It seems they are not as dumb as they present, however. They have 39 years of Autism Epidemic tradition to uphold and they must never admit to the fact they invented Autism after the movie Rain Man to make their Epidemic. If all of autism was exposed even the stuff they purposely kept off the balance sheets, it will make Enron troubles look like mud bath in a Spa. This Autism Crisis will really smell, however it has a billion dollars worth of flurry driving it into the ground.

2008 Autism Convention

39 Years of Missing the Point.

Yet another Dog and Pony Show from the Autism Society of America "the Voice of Autism " (their slogan not mine)


2008 marks the 39th Autism Conference sponsored by the Autism Society of America and this year it is in Orlando Florida July 9-12. It is a shame they have been at this for "40 years" and missed the point to all of autism. For one reason or another when designer post Rain Man Autism was born they either intentionally or ignorantly forgot 1/2 the facts of autism. Today there is a large group of mostly 40 plus year old autistic that totally figured out autism, a never in print before human thought process and the Autism Society Folks are not big enough to admit to us. I suspect they would have very red faces admitting to us and suddenly all of modern Epidemic autism would be questioned. Just how could they explain our Real Life Autism Success?

Old Working autism has connected the MR/DD side of autism the Einstein Side of Autism and indeed real life including social functioning all together to discover autism figured out yields nearly normal thoughts. We have discovered Autism Hero Alan Turing (1912-1954) was father of the computer and his biography The Enigma (1983 Hodges) is the working blueprint of autism all of our old working anthropology absently followed. If modern autism were forced to admit to us and all the old Crypto Sensitive Autism guidelines they forgot on purpose seemingly it would be TOO obvious why suddenly in the past 39 years Autism has become an epidemic of ignorance. At least the ignorance worked in our favor before the days when Autism was a buzzword and Psychology Guru's peer review Mecca. Going threw life undiagnosed in the days before designer autism was just pure heaven for us compared to the curse of today. Only the most severe autism cases were diagnosed in the era before Rain Man spoke. Back then we were Little Professor's and odd strange kids growing up the hard way. While we were doing long term sometimes 40 year plus double-blind life time autism experiences with matching results we were not done with our experience before Rain Man Era Autism ideals were born. After all according to the modern "Experts" we need to be in a group home by the time we are 18. Indeed they way modern Autism works we are there twiddling our thumbs being social rejects, just as were supposed to be. (look at the mold were poured from)? This begs the question, was the late Dr Rimland, father of the movie Rain Man ignorant, greedy or perhaps in a fame game?

In 1999 or 2000 I attended on the sly an autism convention in Indianapolis Indiana and talked with a guy named Tom a then 90 some year old former autism researcher that was also there on the sly to see what had become of autism. He walked up to me and said you hate noise people and crowds? You think in Pictures have a pain tolerance? You have one special interest in life? Of Course I answered? We talked a bit and he was very careful to wait for my eye contact to return before moving the conversation on knowing I was not connected to his words until my eyes were 'on' again. He said your Gay as well, of course I replied. He said he knew a lot of people just like me that overcame autism and like me missed Rain Man's Curse. We cringed together as we heard the speaker on the podium harping on the latest in designer autism. We cried as we cursed Rain Man and seen the Red Carpet of ignorance it created for way too many want to be autism experts. When we said our good byes he said you don't like hugs but give me a hug and joked keep your eyes on the road when driving back to Ohio-meaning don't picture think while driving!

While the Autism we know and love and have figured out is the building blocks of man's mind: it is Autism's responsibility to disseminate this long sought after knowledge but they are distracted as they have a billion dollars worth of Autism Empire to keep up. If they were honest researchers not after their reputations or a quick buck and not living up to the Rain Man Curse, mankind would have known about the building blocks of the mind by now. Due to the nature of autism no other psychology discipline has the line on this undiscovered but obvious thought process we do. In an honor among thieves or researcher type of thing, in this case no other research discipline will look at us until we are introduced by the autism researchers. Sadly admitting to us no matter how well we do is nothing but autism treason against a billion Dollar Empire. (humor) Take a quick guess on who is not going to be invited to the Autism Convention again this year?

Autism's Pastoral Connection

Autism's Pastoral Symphony
"Pillow Talk"

Dear Reader's:

It is well past 1am in the on a very cold night and thanks to an Email I just answered from a wife wondering about her Autistic husbands lack of sensitivity I just hit the right note in explaining autism to the non autistic and the autistic person. This is my most important post ever and everyone in autism will finally be connected in one form or another. If your interest is sparked and the preverbal light bulb comes on please share you moment with all of us.

I could have titled this piece Pillow Talk, I was describing a way this lady could have her husband connect to his autism thought style and also start connecting to her as well. I told her put his face in a pillow (he is very high functioning) while the TV set is on and suddenly with his face buried in a pillow he will HEAR perfectly. There will be no garbled words no loud noises no lapses in hearing. ALL he should see is BLACK,,,,,,, Until that is ..... he is STARTLED to discover SUDDENLY his vision will come on! It will come on just as if his eyes were on and open, and in reality that will be his Picture thoughts in action! (his face still buried in a pillow!) Suddenly he has just discovered that his OPTIC and Brain Generated Images have been interchanging with ease for years. Suddenly he will realize OPTIC and picture thoughts are different and too closely interchanged. He will realize his mind has been playing tricks on him all of his life. Once this discovery is made he will instantly be able to start controlling his Optic and Brain generated Images and next thing you know he will discover Picture in Picture Thoughts the connecting thoughts between autism and normal thoughts.

This optic and brain generated Picture Thought ideal is noted in all of autism as the lack of eye contact. Now interject the ideals of a blind person and you have Autism. It is noted that the blind people hear VERY well as since they are blind their hearing is improved to help compensate for the blindness. Well, when our OPTIC vision is OFF it seems our Brains think we are BLIND and Turn our HEARING UP. This explains our very good hearing and hearing of higher tones and pitches than normal.

Now add in autistic OVERLOAD the magic point in time and space where were lost between Optic vision and Brain Generated Images and during this time were actually Deaf! So in a nutshell we think with the same pictures as your day dreams, were Blind and hear super good one-second and are blind again and deaf the next moment. ONCE we learn that we are thinking in another language and learn to either do optic vision OR brain generated images we actually self discover the power of Einstein thoughts locked in autism AND we also discover the nuances of social thoughts and body language. When we learn to control our thought after we discover we have OPTIC and Brain Generated vision we can then do things like drive as it is easy to keep our optic vision on and our Picture thoughts OFF.

Most importantly this ideal proves how we think! Granted unless the "Autism Experts" are Autistic themselves and think like we do they can't get the same results from our pillow talk experience BUT, They surely see where what we say would make great sense. Modern Post Rain Man Autistic persons are brain washed just enough they might realize no results of their pillow experience unless they are closet picture thinkers and unbeknowance to them they picture think and just didn't realize it. Once a few of us do this experience and our results bear us out Autism will finally have a reason to "discover us again," At least a few new age autistic people will do this pillow talk experience and will know instantly what I have just written about just as of folks in the old unadmitted to Temple style anthropology do.

Well now, Autism might well be on the road to being solved with this statement (or should be) but I have this horrible fear that no matter how many of us relate to this autism pilliow talk experiement and know and even realize this how we think and even how we grow and connect to real life thoughts, no autism experts will give anyone of us the time of day. Our Exerience might well be proven, true and repeatable but no one in autism research with a PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper) is ready to accepct the fact we have discovered the building blocks of man's mind and solved Autism as well. They just can't accpect the fact their superior attitudes and educations have failed them and even worse their view of life is not always correct. How can they explain their red faces as those of us from the bottom of the gene pool the only ones with the experience of living with autism by the way ,actually were smart enough to figure out what they could not?

I can only hope they drop their guard (or are forced to -please write the ASA) and some real honest expert hears our story and relaizes we do the builiding blocks of the human mind. They will know what do and they will see how Autism is MR/DD and Einstein as well as a savant. They will see the picutre thoughts we all do as Autism seems to be a slowmotion version of normal thoughts. They will see the millions of things so obvious in psychology that had been hidden until now in plain sight. They will never see what we see as they think "normally". But perhaps they can at least give us credit where credit is due and be brave enough to let mankind out of the dark ages upon our discovery?

Growing Pains!

Even more of us now,
Autism's Quiet Forgotten Anthropology grows again!

Threw out my years online hosting this blog and several Yahoo groups I have been very privileged to meet many autistic people like me that somehow missed out on the "best of autism" and shockingly we again make a very good case for no intervention in the serious way modern autism is aiming for. I recently met 3 more people via my emails from my blog Pre Rain Man Autism. We all could be considered "Temple Grandin's." Our blueprint we all seem to follow is the life of Alan Turing (1912-1954) he was father of the computer.

As a rule most of us grew up very rural and grew up out of the reach of modern autism antics. The small communities we grew up in have done wonders for us socially and autism wise. It seems those around us just knew us for who we are and we presented a bit odd but unknowingly we were "not" autistic. If we would have been IN REACH of autism experts we too would have been treated to the very best of autism and might well be in a group home. Way too many of us do too much of a normal life to ever be admitted to in autism circles. Most of us hold a job of some sort and many of us drive. Doing a life like that is not good news to autism experts of today. How could they explain us?

As a rule we learned later in life we were autistic-well the word-autism was finally put on us and SUDDENLY our lives made sense. Many of us are picture thinkers and hear of Temple's work, Bill Stillman or my own and seen the "gee that is how I think" syndrome comes to light for us. NOT being diagnosed we were able to complete the double blind autism experience uninhibited and untouched by the "help" of modern autism and its kind heart but nasty ignorance. Our new anthropology members like those before them have figured out autism either knowingly or unknowingly is a different kind of human thought system modern autism knows and loathes as the lack of eye contact. The autism we know and love is the very answers to the same autism modern autism stumped on. We think in pictures during the lack of eye contact. Our figured out autism thoughts eventually yield normal thoughts just like you use. None of our autism gatekeepers has been down our road and experienced our MR/DD thought process seen it turn in to Einstein's ;conventional human logic and perhaps a billion dollars worth of autism research and its "experts" is not willing to give us a listen that is for sure. Admitting to a population of autistic people that came out pretty good never did an autism diet or tons of drugs as required by Modern Antics is pure autism treason. Suddenly If the Crypto Sensitive Autism Guidelines were discovered again as they were known before Rain Man Autism would again have the hope and the promise it once did. Sadly mankind is left out of the loop as the Autism empire is in motion and their ignorance highlighted the worst of autism and made generations of us group home zombies. There is indeed an Epidemic of autism cases but it is not autism it is only the autism ignorance of our autism experts. It is fair to say if many in our group were not so lucky to miss the curse we too would have been in the group home as well. Autism if not treated correctly is a prime breeding ground for an autistic retard to develop as our gatekeepers only know enough of autism to be dangerous.

Even worse as Autism sees it, most in our high functioning anthropology are Gay Lesbian BI sexual or Transgendered and indeed that is how many of them find us on the web looking up Gay autism. Some of us are indeed straight but the majority of us are Gay. Now you know for sure another reason why the most successful population can't be admitted to as Autism's ignorant empire is set up for the children and there is no way a billion dollars worth of experts will ever agree to talking to us now-they might be seen as gay friendly. For the record many of your very own autistic kids find us and go back in the closet so before you claim your kid can't be gay please think again. Please don't be homophobic. Finally, a popular buzz term in Autism these days is Fragile X syndrome look deeper into Fragile X and see all the studies that were once the talk of the gay communities that proved Fragile X was a good predictor of weather one would turn out gay or not. I suspect The "fragile X Researchers" tapped out the GLBT angle and made their claim there and seen new life in Fragile X research and Autism so they are here "doing their thing now." Seems fitting if they studied our anthropology they could combine the Fragile X of autism to the Fragile X of GLBT and autism might well have a new lease on life.

Figured out Autism is here and our double-blind experience combined with modern autism could yield Autism success for all of us and end up adding 1000s of chapters to the psychology books but alas it might never happen we are on the wrong side of the autism time line-curse you Rain Man (the movie).

High pitched response- in autism

My Child is Autistic and Responds to High Voices?
From Rich Shull, Old Working Autism

Well, now there is a fact that has the modern Autism Guru's filled with hope and passion- I also respond to high pitches as I take my figured out autism thoughts to the bank when I troubleshoot cars. Yes, it is the same autism the same high pitched hearing it would take a decibel meter for the average Autism "expert to hear" and why this kid responds is the same reason I do but also the very reason Modern Autism will never find. To start with the Autism experts have to reach down to the bottom of the gene pool and actually talk to some of us that missed Rain Man 's Curse. Secondly they have to admit new modern autism is a very good career and pays well and even inflates their ego a bit as they ignorantly hold mankind back a few steps.

Well, for what its worth here is what old working autism has figured out. While we are picture thinking a thought process that is like you reading daydream our OPTIC Vision is Off you see that as lack of eye contact. When our Eyes are off it is like we are blind. Ask a blind person what they hear and they will hear more than you do! Same idea applies here. The softest whisper or the loudest scream can wake us up from the autism thoughts and get us connected to reality. It is as simple as that! Well, now tell the autism Professional that explanation and they will bulk and laugh and tell us we are full of something and in reality they are ones that don't have a clue to what they are doing. What a shame man's best thinkers are in research many of them in autism research but it seems their research rests on their paychecks so there is no reason to admit to old working Crypto Sensitive Autism the stuff before Rain Man. They know as well as I do if they re discover what Dr Rimland (father of Rain Man) forgot on purpose this whole autism charade will be proven to be just that. Here we can connect Savants to Einstein to the village idiot and along the way tell you the building blocks of man's mind and we are too little too late, not to mention on the wrongside of the autism timeline and unintentionally deflate the epidemic of autism ignorance that has ruined familles and stranded us needlessly in group homes!

autism figued out =normal thoughts

The following is a post from a Google group I'm on- I took the liberity of writing all over that post in an effort to give old working autism a voice it doesn't otherwise have. Rich



The best way to help an autistic child cope with change is to
understand the way they think,

(( A note from Rich I am very sorry to write all over this post but It is one of the only ways we have found to be heard in this modern autism mess where everyone is screaming about something.))

Comment From Rich Shull once hailed as the next Temple Grandin (years ago)

---Why do we have to change the way we think? We are programmed autistically and we think during the lack of eye contact. Modern autism DOESN'T care that once we figure out our Picture thoughts normal thought just like you use are the result. Autism thoughts are building blocks of the human mind and indeed connect MR/DD to Einstein. Modern Autism assumes that we need to think like they think we should think but doesn't know enough of our never in print before thought process to be more than dangerous. Sadly modern 'oh help me autism "post Rain Man made the very autism it was trying to help much worse. Of Course, Ph.D., and psychology Guru's and a billion dollars worth of research make Autism a bigger problem than it ever was. If Autism truly cared about autism it would gladly allow old autism folks like me to be heard but if that ever happened lot of experts would be very red faced.


so you can present ideas and situations
to them in a way they will effectively comprehend.

From Rich
---The only way we ever really comprehend real life as our unadmitted anthropology has done time and again was simply learn real life. In a time and space before Autism was a designer condition none of us were straddled with the autism label and absently we were allowed to grow and do on our own in a freedom modern autism folks never have. IF Autism Powers united our anthropology and discovered what we did to figure out naturally different pre programmed human thought process and copies our success the face of autism would finally change for the better.

While the average person thinks in language, the average person with
autism thinks in pictures. This thinking process is known as visual
thought. Visual thought is when a person thinks in pictures, images or
even movies, instead of actual words and concepts. Therefore, for most
autistics, words are like a second language.
From Rich

---Indeed this very accurate, Those picture thoughts make us Einstein if we are lucky enough to develop them fully. If we learn Picture in Picture Thoughts something one step or two above what Temple wrote about we can finally use OPTIC and Brain generated vision at the same time (a milestone in autism development) and in simple terms actually see who we are talking to opening up the door to read body language. THE EXPERTS don't know that while we think in Pictures our OPTIC vision IS OFF our eyes are OFF just as if we were blind. Autism thoughts are then projected into our visual field and appear just as you view a day dream. In short we think with your Daydreams. (Lack of eye contact) Many autistic people DON'T realize their optic and brain generated images are being interchanged. When we figure that out we then start to think, really think in pictures, and learn to keep optic vision on when we need it. Really autism is not all that complicated it is just he "experts" that know autism so well really don't. Even worse it has never been discovered yet and no known psychology concept even touched on how we do life. Then again you can't forget we are very retards that are being researched so were naturally too stupid to figure out our own thought process.

Written and spoken words
are transformed into moving pictures with sounds in their mind.

From Rich
---It is the other way around, We think in Picture First and then TRANSLATE picture thoughts to words. If Autism were ever taught in a proper course we could spend most of the course learning to convert picture thoughts to words. It a proven concept that can be done our Anthropology of People like Temple Grandin have done it many times before. We also have to learn to WATERDOWN our thoughts the average completed autistic thought is way too complicated for a normal person to understand. We joke among our selves it (sorry this will come off bad) it takes 20 normal thoughts to equal one of ours.

It is
through the comprehension of their visual thoughts that they can
either identify with a situation and words, or not understand.

From Rich


---With the experience and proven milestones of our old autism group ALL of autism could make great leaps forward as we have been there and done that, in the ultimate double blind autism experience. Sadly we are too late and now are on the wrong side of the autism time line and autism's Rain Man curse is in full swing and there are just simply too many experts in autism to care that some elements of Autism have figured out the "impossible."

Recent research on autistic thinking has found that people with autism
are inclined to focus on specific details instead of the bigger
picture.

From Rich

---That is old news, did someone dust off the old Crypto Sensitive Autism Manuals?(aka old autism) If they would have read a bit deeper they would have been told of our splinter skills. Splinter skills and obessions are indeed the connection to getting our picutre thoughts connected to your normal ones. Again once we learn autism thoughts your normal thoughts are the result. With all the experts have hold of the wrong end of the stick it is no wonder autism has become this horrible condition it never was before Rain Man. After Rain Man and the birth of modern Autism the very thing to be made taboo in autism research and development WAS splinter skills and obsessions. While they made old autism hum eventually missing them made modern autism a real epidemic (of ignorance).
Unlike a normal brain that connects all of its different
processing parts together, the brain of someone with autism is not
entirely connected to each of its systems. This is what sometimes
makes autistics excellent at one thing and unskilled at something
else....

From Rich

---Oh it is just as connected to the world If not a bit more so than any autism expert will realize. Autism is a thought process that has never been in a book before and it is not any more difficult than a foreign language. The language is foreign as is the thought process that makes it work. It seems Autism is the building blocks of the human mind all figured out, and if we have done the impossible autistic people as our experience shows need to start their education a few steps below the 123's and abc's at a more sublevel thought process that again has never been in a text book before. When and if this Autism mess is ever figured out it will be discovered there is very little difference between the village idiot a savant, Einstein and even a normal person. The only difference will be a few picture thoughts and a lot of luck. I am 40 something now I will probably never live long enough to this concept developed, it will take the next 40 years to wake up autism to its past, that it plainly forgot.

////// Read our autism blueprint for yourself in the book called The Enigma (1983) by Andrew Hodges it is unknowingly the best autism book of all time and we all followed the blueprint described in the book. Now if only modern autism would do the same? \\\\\\

Serious Stuff

I've written a fact sheet on dealing with obsessions and rituals of
children on the autistic spectrum. This has been flavoured by my own
experiences with Sam, and if anyone has the time, I'd welcome any
feedback and suggestions before I distribute it. Parents new to the
autism scene might find it useful too, although I'm sure all of us
further down the track will know all of this!

ROUTINES, RITUALS & COMPULSIONS:
practical strategies for parents

People with autism or Asperger's syndrome are often inclined to
develop intense, very narrow fields of interests. There is also a
tendency to develop repetitive behaviors and routines that can make
life very difficult for the family, and be very hard to change.
Old Working autism - Rich Shull

((((HUMOR) Barry will be "glad he asked for advise" (we can make jokes) but more importantly the answers I give are from old working autism's lost anthropology. Most of us build on the work of Temple Grandin and we have connceted MR/DD to autism as well as Real life. In a time and space before Rain Man We did autism very well on our own and followed our own path via the Autism Blueprint as described in the book Alan Tuirng The Enginma (1983 Hodges) . Now Modern Autism Experts can read the very same book and not get a thing out of it but they only think they understand autism too. At his point in history were too little too late and Autism is Billion Dollars worth of Expert and Autism is a group home designer thing and how dare we rain on Rain Man's parade. Shame on us "bad for all of mankind" as we have figured out the building blocks of the human mind.))))

If psychology or autism "experts" would be versed in our thought system they would see what we see literally the picture thoughts the brain generated images the day dream type thoughts that happen during the lack of eye contact. Those Picture thoughts IF understood are indeed very narrow and focused. Old Pre designer autism had those wonderful narrow thoughts pegged (absently) as our learning hallway and modern versions have them listed as a crime. The good news is as our Anthropology has proven time and again those interests once completely satisfied just simply bubble over into life at large and we loose our narrow interests. (eventually) At least in later life most of us can get along well and participate in conversation and not bore the other party to death or talk just about one thing only.

Note modern autism has made this aspect of autism MUCH WORSE than it was. While we used to be little professors and other odd things we were never "AUTISTIC." The missing of that label gave us much more freedom to grow and thrive and when the world was absent millions of autism "experts" no one was there to tell us we have autism thus were stupid to fart and everytime we "mess up" it is now autism and nothing else and of course autism is a horrible condition that needs cured as they see it. It doesn't need cured it simply needs understood. It is after all a thought process that has never been in a text book before.

Funny thing is we simply out grew autism so well that modern autism experts don't even know what they see when they see us and since we have discovered a never in print before thoughts process no one else in the Ph.D. Field has clue to what we do. Even worse Autism has spoken and were only allowed to be in group homes or be Autism Savants in real life as they so desperately search for a cure to autism-one they will never find.


COMPULSIONS
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person
feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to
rules that must be applied rigidly. The behaviors or mental acts are
aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded
event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts either are
not connected in a realistic way with what they are designed to
neutralize or prevent or are clearly excessive. Examples include
needing to follow an exact route to school each day, family members
needing to sit in particular chairs during meals, or only wearing blue
shirts.
Old Autism Rich Shull replies
Compulsions are understandable and while we had them many of us learn that IF we got to school we could go several different routes and take many different modes of transportation and still get there. Keep in Mind our Parents got an earful of us and in my case I might have got a good talking to or even a kind slap of some sort and endured the "different route" I have seen Modern Autism Parents are told to "give in," , etc., and keep their kid quiet. Again Our Picture thoughts are very rigid at first in early life and setting in one chair is GREAT as have figured out like a blind person does how to function from that chair. We learn the noises from that chair and life is comfortable from there. AUTISM forgets and never knew we are BOTH DEAF AND BLIND as our optic vision is turned off and replaced with a daydream type of thought. Many autistic people don't even know their optic vision is OFF and replaced with a picture thought all they know is they are much more comfortable being in the same place and time as often as possible. As they inadvertently brain wash them selves and normal thoughts get absently figured out this improves. Now If autism Experts know our picture thoughts they could do what we did with obsession and make them work for us not against us.


Obsessions
Obsessions are recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images
that are experienced at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive
and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress. The
thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about
real-life problems. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such
thoughts, impulses, or images, or may try to neutralize them with some
other thought or action.

OLd Autism Rich Shull
Once Again Autism has MISSED the whole point to Obsessions they are simply the building blocks of autism and if they knew why we had to do them and why they simply fit the autism mindset the "Experts" are clueless about Obsession would finally be seen as something no more important than reading Harry Potter all the time. Again Old Autism that modern designer autism will not own up to has taken our Obsession all the way to the bank and at the least used them as spring board to understand normal life or in the case of career become an expert in our own right. If autism knew what it was trying to do It would NEVER try to neutralize our Obsession they would rather embrace them and let us learn from them the way we are programmed. For better or Worse this Obsession thing was the very thing Dr Rimland and Company axed after Rain Man Autism Era Policy was invented. Older Autism Experts that KNEW or had a better clue to our gift were told to get the new program or quit.


routines
Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders tend to appreciate order,
routines and repetition far more than neurotypical children. Any
disruption to this routine can lead to high levels of anxiety and
emotional outbursts. While many routines may be helpful, others can be
Very disruptive. They may be very time-consuming and can increase in
complexity over time.
Old Autism Rich Shull
Routines are very good for us especially as we learn life in our own way a way never in a text book before and a way that has been seriously diluted in modern Autism Practice. As a blind person Likes a routine for example while walking someplace that is simply life is figured out and it can be more a simple walk for them. The same holds true for Autism. Our Invisible to you thought patterns are kind to us when they are not challenged too much. Modern Kids have got their way too often and thus they have never learned the lesion you can actually BREAK a routine and still do something. If Our autism Gatekeepers could see what our thoughts system consists of they would see how we break from them and GASP they could truly helps us do it, not just hide it as they do now.


Does the issue require attention?

Decide if the routine, compulsion or obsessive thoughts need
attention, or can be tolerated. Usually change is only needed if it
could affect the child's development negatively, leads to socially
unacceptable behavior, or it is causing the family too much stress.
Old Autism Rich Shull

YES it Requires Attention but sadly it is something not even fathomable in modern designer autism circles. If Our Old working group could be admitted to the simple knowledge that modern Experts have never known will just shine like a beacon of hope. I 'm serious if were ever admitted to besides all of modern Autism being proven useless it will also expose the building blocks of man's mind and this knowledge alone will give mankind much more hope than ever before.

Modern Autism has really become too stressful on new families as the plethora of experts all chime in doing their part to make Autism a disgusting horrible problem leaving us zombies in a group home. If Modern Autism Parents ever get to read the stories of our odd lives and our parents and they see how being absent of autism Diagnosis and "knowledge" was the very best thing that ever happened to us the modern Autism Parents will feel so badly cheated. (and they are) Autism Never had to be become a Designer Epidemic and one thing is for sure we will never be admitted now. Curse You Rain Man.


look for the underlying issues
It helps to understand the underlying reasons before attempting to
change any behavior. There may be a sensory issue involved, whether it
is the sight, sound, smell or feel of an object or activity. Where the
preoccupation is potentially dangerous or inappropriate, understanding
the sensory issue may make it easier to substitute a better activity
or object in place.
Old Autism Rich Shull
Oh Good Grief mate we are Deaf and Blind (during the lack of eye contact) and when we do hear our hearing is decibels higher than you ever dreamed. Like a blind person sensory issues are heightened ours are too. While most of us in this successful group learned to cope with these as we figured out more and more Picture thoughts the modern Autism spectrum person is for sure lost. Those of us in the real world LEARNED how to think normally as you do and autistically as were programmed again If our autism gatekeeper experts had a clue.


Mind-blindness is the inability to know how other people think
differently. A child may simply not realize that other people don't
share the same thoughts, routines or obsessions, or how disruptive
these can be to other family members.
Old Autism Rich Shull
One of the very first rules many autistic people NEVER learn Is our thoughts are WAY too complicated and they need watered down to simple baby thoughts so normal people can understand them. If autism were ever taught in a proper course we would have to spend a year of our education learning to water down our thoughts. Of Course we present as total idiots so there is no real chance the autism experts will ever dream were working DOWN to your thoughts and not up to them. Again If Autism Knew of our Thought process they would see the reason to this but I rather doubt they are looking for fear they might rediscover what they forgot.


Children on the autism spectrum often experience a lot of anxiety;
routines and compulsions can be very calming due to their familiarity.
This is why routines and repetitive behaviors can be extremely intense
when the child is anxious. Instead of tackling these behaviors head
on, parents may find it much more useful to deal with the cause of the
anxiety in each case.

Old Autism Rich Shull
Oh Get a life designer Autism, We had absently figured this stuff out years ago and the answer is not glamorous or pretty or suitable for television so the autism Media Machine is not even interested in listening for a start. But by some miracle if it ever did suddenly they would see the same way out of autism's grasp we followed on our own. While we were trail blazing a path from Autism's MR/DD Side to Einstein the world was getting autismed to death by all the experts of autism that only know the obvious defects as they see things. We know the joy of autism and would like to share it with you if you would humble your selves.


practical strategies
Set rules and use contracts
Set plenty of rules, children on the autism spectrum tend to love
clear logical rules. These rules can set time limits for routines, and
the contexts they are allowed to happen. It can help to even write
these down in a contract.


Old autism Rich Shull
Unknowingly that is a very good idea and it plays very well for us in our picture thought but that was simply an accident of autism ideals. If Autism knew the real thoughts behind them and us ,they could set much more logical goals when it comes to strategies.


Shaping the existing behavior
Look for ways to 'shape' the preoccupation into something constructive
i.e. a fascination with butterflies can lead to discussions about
biology and other insects. Children with autism often don't see the
'big picture', so it always helps to try to broaden the narrow
interest into a wider one!

Old Autism Rich Responds
Well, Autism Experts again Fail themselves as if they listed to us they would get a feel for how we did this very concept on our own and obviously did it better than you expected. Once we learn the narrow stuff the wider view comes naturally BUT we need To learn the narrow stuff completely before we have any real hope of transferring that knowledge to normal life. Autism has a thought process called picture in picture thoughts a few above Temple Grandins Still and Motion Picture Thoughts and these are the Universal autism thoughts that allow us to connect to normal thoughts like you use.Until autism gate keeps even know about them they will never know how we need complete a few of them via our Obsessions to become real good at life. Modern autism Assumes We DON"T want to communicate be want to do that more than anything in the world and the trouble is the autism experts don't have a clue to our different kind of human thought process as your thoughts are probably very fast paced streamlined versions of ours. Again If Autism Would care to listen for a chance Autism is really speaking.


Desensitization
Where sensory problems are involved, desensitization is a behavioral
technique that can be useful when a child experiences anxiety or fear
over a certain obsession or failing to do a set routine. The child is
gradually exposed to the object or event that creates fear, but with
plenty of positive reinforcement. Examples of this include free time,
verbal praise or special food treats.
Old Autism Rich Shull Responds

That used to be a very natural thing for us and as we absently learned Autism ideals and put together our odd strange thoughts and learned to water down the ones we spoke. We also learned to tame our wild thoughts and new learned our senses were over active.

Odds are were too busy thinking several steps behind you for Positive reinforcement to have the effect your thinking it does and GOD A HIGH PITCHED YOU DID GOOD is pure hell not pure gold as you intend. Did someone forget about our SUPER SENSES like Hearing that is decibels higher than yours -- then Why Scream at us-your doing the same thing. I use my Hearing gift to trouble shoot cars I hear stuff other mechanics never do and it opens up a whole new world! Autism needs to learn this as well and could start with putting decibel meters in homes and schools. Just watch that meter peg with a good for you speech.


Reinforce desired behaviors
Reinforcement provides a response to a child's behavior that will most
likely increase that behavior. It is "differential" because the level
of reinforcement varies depending on the child's response. Difficult
tasks may be reinforced heavily whereas easy tasks may be reinforced
less heavily. We must systematically change our reinforcement so that
the child eventually will respond appropriately under natural
schedules of reinforcement (occasional) with natural types of
Reinforces (social).
Old Autism Rich responds
Obviously Modern Autism is Lost in the modern autism ignorance that might very well explain the current autism epidemic. If It knew what it is we do to think and could teach us how to the Autism ABCs and123 just like it can normal kids this Reinforce statement would not be necessary as they would know the root cause of our behavior for a change and not a moment too soon


Reinforcement can be positive (verbal praise or a favorite activity)
or negative (an emphatic 'no'). Positive reinforcement is an incentive
given to a child who complies with some request for behavior change.
The aim is to increase the chances the child will respond with the
changed behavior. Positive reinforcement is given immediately after
the desired behavior has occurred so that it will shape the child's
future behavior.
Old Autism Rich responds
Oh Really, we are operating in a time warp in so many ways the positive reinforcement is not timed as you think it is and despite our super good hearing we might not hear you if were picture thinking. We might not most likely hear the volume of your comment but rather the nasty tone of the NO our the insincere quiver in your voice even though you said the right words and didn't mean them.

As hard as ALL of these comments are to believe they all are well researched and defined and there is REAL hope for autism and mankind if only our autism gatekeepers would swallow hard and admit to us. Suddenly Autism will realize like we do the good and bad news of autism is EVERY WORD we say and the Bad news of autism is every word we say. PLEASE help us help you by urging the Autism Society of America and Autism Speaks to listen up for a change?
