NPR Faces on Street Cars

National Public Radio (America)


An Announcement this morning on my local NPR Station of an upcoming segment was titled Autism ????? and the gist of the headline promoting the segment on All Things Considered, was some 'Autism Expert' is putting faces on Street Cars in a book or perhaps a video that he or she might have authored and it is supposed to help Autistic kids relate to emotion and people better. Well I give them a few points for trying but the reality is whoever and what ever expert doing this stunt missed the boat like all of Autism has.

As I was driving to work in a middle of a snow an ice storm, where a level 2 snow emergency had been declared I was using my perfected Autism Thoughts to drive ,figure and plan my future moves as I drove down a very treacherous roadway. I was using picture in picture thought to figure the new and changing conditions of the road. These honed picture in picture thoughts are where we take our day dream picture based thoughts and look at them like you were viewing a day dream. While this is happening our OPTIC vision is still on normal eye sight as you know it and walla I just completed the ultimate in autism thoughts. If and that is A BIG If any autism expert would care to listen to those of us that made it and figured out a never in print before though process they would see just how Street Car with faces drawn on them is cute and cuddly and nothing else. Only those of us that build on Temple Grandin's work and connect it to traditional thought could do the Street Car thing and even come close to getting any good out of it.

There is so much going on during and autism thought that the experts are ignorant of and they don't even know the right questions to ask us to even get a grip on our never in print before thought process. Sadly it is both Mr/dd and Einstein so that fact assures no Expert will even dream of sitting down and uniting all of us they will not admit to. Autism's billion dollar empire is peer reviewed and no one has the guts to think back before Rain Man and see just how big that designer autism has become.

As autism becomes the fad designer mental health condition of this century I do CRY and Weep out loud (and they say we don't show emotions) as I know and feel and have lived all the insight the Autism experts miss. When they jumped the gun and lost track of those of us that made it in life in our odd strange ways they lost sight of a segment of humanity that will probably die off soon and with us the one of the very last chances of man mind being explained. Autism properly told lived and experienced is good for at least another 1000 chapter in the psychology books. Man as usual is too busy looking at one tree in front of him to even worry about the Forest that is burning. Rich Shull on theBlog Pre Rain Man Autism.

Lincoln and Autism

This Post on Lincoln and Autism based on

Abraham Lincoln

From his Own Words and Contemporary Accounts

A booklet from the National Park Service- source book series- Number Two

Edited by Roy Edgar Appleman dated 1950 page 14 Power of Memory

This passage I'm about to quote here is pure picture thought at work the way old Autism people would have known it to work. Here is the passage,

"Power of Memory"
"Lincoln possesses the faculty of memory in an unusually high degree. Apparently, he could remember with ease the what he thought worthwhile retaining in his mind. here, in the words of one who saw him at work almost daily for over 16 years, one glimpses the process by which Lincoln's great speeches took form.

Mr. Lincoln had keen susceptibilities to the hints ,insinuations ,and suggestions of nature and of man which put him in mind of something known or unknown;hence his power of and tenacity of what is called the association of ideas must have been great;his memory was exceedingly retentive, tenacious and strong; he could write out a speech ,as in the Cooper Institute Speech ,and then repeat it word for word, without any effort on his part. This I know about the 'house divided' against it self speech; he wrote that fine effort ,an augmentative one ,in slips, put those slips in his hat ,numbering them and when he was done with the idea he gathered up the scraps ,put them in the right order, and wrote out his speech ,read it to me before it was delivered ,and in the evening delivered it just as written without notes or finished speech;his susceptibilities to all suggestions and hints enabled him through his retentive memory at will to call up readily ,quickly and accurately the associated and classified fact, person or idea."

Herndon's "Notes and Monographs"

From Rich,

In these simpler slower times the deep thoughts like Lincoln had perhaps his picture thoughts served him very well. All humans have the ability to do picture thoughts and they are if you will daydream based. If we do them very well we can be Einstein with out any effort and if can't get them watered down and communicated we present as idiots- like many modern Autism people do. Modern times and their fast pace assure autistic people don't get the chance to communicate or even learn their different kind of human thought process like we used to do by default. For those knowing our Picture thoughts inside out, like we do (they have never been in a text before) the quote above is just pure and simple picture thoughts working and flowing just as they should. The act of writing a speech on paper scraps and them doing a speech from them is simple. I can only guess Lincoln was reading his speech word for word with his photographic memory. He could have easily looked at brain generated images (daydreams) of his speech and simply read it as if his optic vision were on and he was reading it in a traditional manor. Few Autistic people today realize their OPTIC and brain generated vision is interchanged and for sure that fact is never taught in the best autism school, despite being once common knowledge in Autism circles. These Autism thoughts are very intense and much more complicated than the average thought a normal person uses. I don't mean any offense here but normal thoughts are so weak it takes 20 of yours to equal one of ours. One nasty short cut normal thoughts entail is the addition of emotions and they really dilute the facts of the thought to a worthless level many times. Many times your logic is just emotions being acted out. (Humor) , Your all Drama Queens.

That presents a grand question,,, If Autism thoughts are so great how come Autistic people of today are so "odd"? The simple answer is Autism based in the deepest most primitive reaches of man's mind and the mind has yet to mapped yet. If it were, it would be obvious Autistic people were simply working a few steps below the normal thought spectrum. It would also show that fully functioning Autism Picture thoughts are indeed Einstein and alas the normal thoughts you use so well are just shorthand autism thoughts. Autism thought was once so close to being figured out and it is a shame it went designer became a billion dollar empire as such Man was cheated out the discovery of his mind and how it works. Since the "Experts" of the world are simply normal thinkers their hope of honest discovery and progress is nearly hopeless and they don't even know which questions to ask to discover anything. I dare any autism professional to treat us as genius and let us explore and do our splinter skills and then communicate with you, It can be done as we did it many times before. There are at least 200 more of us from all over the world doing the impossible it is time Autism done the impossible too- listen.

Abe Lincoln indeed passes the tests of old autism only we could give and relate to. Perhaps a few now deceased autism professionals before Dr. Rimland's (father of Rain Man and designer autism) era would have known him like we do but for sure modern missed the mark Autism is at a loss- what a shock!

Edited by Roy Edgar Appleman dated 1950


For my international readers and perhaps a few younger American's, I'm going to do a few posts on American President Abraham Lincoln 1809-1865. Lincoln indeed has rang all the bells in terms of being an old high functioning Autistic person. Bear in mind Autism from the 'dark ages' was totally non diagnosable and we just presented in odd strange and often grand ways. We earned our spots in society the hard way if we were lucky. Often we were visionaries and leaders by default as Autism's thought base assured we were self confident and autism's thought base displays a ledondary equal level thought base void of emotion and empathy (huge amounts of it) that tend to promote our often progressive views. Lincoln had no trouble after all freeing the slaves, I dare say a typical politician would have never taken on such a cause. Only someone realizing and thinking with Autism Thoughts would have had the wear with all and the self confidance to stand tall and alone in a noble cause. Autism belive it or not is the same as it has always been and before the designer curse of 2009. We really did overcome and learn a never in print before thought process that modern Autism Experts will never realize. Since Autism is BOTH MR/DD and Einstein modern Autism simply has got a hold of the wrong end of the autism stick and only the retardation side of Autism is glowing at the moment. On with the post.

From Page 3 a passage called "His Physical Strength"


"Abraham Lincoln's physical strength has become legendary, one of his fellow townsmen at New Salem, R.B. Rutledge ,a brother of the storied 'Ann' ,recalls this quality of the young Lincoln.

Trials of strength were very common among the pioneers. Lifting weights ,as heavy timbers piled one upon another ,was a favorite pastime ,and no workman in the neighborhood could at all cope with Mr. Lincoln in this direction. I have seen him frequently take a barrel of Whisky by the chimes and lift it up to his face as if to drink out of the bung hole. This feat he could accomplish with the greatest of ease. I never saw him taste or drink a drop of any kind of spirituous liquors. " R.B. Rutlege to Hendron , October 1866


From Rich Shull,
Autism's Alan Turing ran marathon's with out walls, Your truly has had a series of alethetic persuits and injuries and birth defects (un even hips) that I never felt. Others in our old working Autism Group chime in with their injuries they never felt from motor bike crashes, to more uneven hips. WE never felt them! Weather we were getting hit by cars while riding bikes and yes even falling out of tree only to get up and walk away we never felt the serious pain or the even the signals from our bodies to tell us to 'ease up' . We seem to missing the clue- thus our Pain tolerance. At one time Old Pre Designer Autism was filled with this knowledge and even old autism brochures said we were un cuddly babies and would not move when held to be in a comfortable position.

This fact is glossed over in new Autism as it is easily ignored for a start and the Designer Autism Experts can't even fathom (as can any "medical expert") the idea of a population that is painless. Only when we suffer the greatest of injuries or most long-term and severe effects of something do we get the attention of the guru's that know medicne so well. When I painlessly walked into Mt Carmel East Hospital, Columbus Ohio with a huge needle in my foot that had been there for a day and only AFTER my X-ray confirmed the story did I get attention. (search X-Ray on this blog to see the picture of it) EVERY jaw in the Er Room from doctors to nurses to by standers was gathered around that viewing screen and no one could believe that sight and they all seen me walk in -painless.

"Communication problems associated with autism may be explained by the discovery that the brains of autistic children are a fraction of a second slower to react to sounds than those of normal children."

Form Rich Shull on the Blog Pre Rain Main Autism

A Discovery? - more like a fact and get this were even totally deaf -and blind at times -I wonder if that shows up on their brain wave machines?

If a true scientist knew of our autism MR/DD thought base the discovery that the EEG shows abnormal activity in our hearing processing would not be a shock it would simply show we are trying to process a picture based thought something no autism guru knows about these days. When we think in your day dreams our default thought process we need to first daydream as you know it. If you daydream you know it kind of takes you out of reality for a bit. Then we connect regroup and then come up with a normal thought and if were lucky enough we can get it into words before the conversation has moved on and the moment has passed. If not, we present as retarded and non communicative and If we can pull off the trick we can easily present as Einstein. There is really 'nothing' to being Einstein all humans could do it- it just is pure deep picture based thought totally thought out and presented in watered down words. Old Working Autism did this on a regular basis long before the designer Autism unknowingly invented the modern day Autism retardation machine.

This is pure discovery to the scientist that might need to jump and shout and rush to the printing press to "claim progress" and nonominate him or her self for a autism GURU award presented by the Autism Peer review boards.

The Article goes on, (quoted)
"According to Timothy Roberts of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, speaking on Monday at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, the finding "provides strong supporting evidence for the emerging theory that autism is a problem of connectivity in the brain"."

Well , there is no problem with our brains, it is just simply we think in a never before known thought process that to this day has never been in a book before. Connectivity of the brain is indeed an issue here but the biggest problem is the fact we are thinking in a more primitative thoughts process that is building up to the thought you use and are expecting. Normal thoughts are just WATERED DOWN autism thoughts,so when normal thinkers try to 'discover us' they have the key to the wrong door. When 'Normal Thinkers' and Autism Gurus refuse to look at successful Autism people like me and others of us that do very well they are just plain lost in their peer review job protection scheme. If they did set down hook us to their brain wave machines and we could tell them of our picture thoughts and when we are deaf and blind (optic vision is off) they would realize for once we are normal just our normal is not been charted yet.

The good news in all of this Autism figured out yields normal thoughts. I predict if they hooked high functioning autisitcs like me to their machines we could present with normal brain waves if we have figured out all of our building block thoughts AND we could also blow them away with a working 4 deminsion Autism thought. (the ulitmate Autism thought that makes us Einstein). Autism is the building blocks of the mind and all the scientist and Autism guru's are getting is a dose confuseon as they don't know the base (anymore) of the human mind. Those were long forgotton when Dr Rimland father of the movie Rainman and others took Autism Designer.

from the Article

"Since one syllable in a polysyllabic word might take less than one-quarter of a second to utter, Roberts says an increase of one-twentieth of a second in response time might hamper a child's comprehension. "There could be abnormal routing or a lack of connectivity in the brain," he says."

Hogwash,,,, we are connected but instead of having baseline normal thought to work with (what they are measuring) we are having to process our daydream based thought first. While we are thinking in pictures our OPTIC vision is OFF as is our hearing. Now we hear the very high pitches and the low noises and the "odd" noise while we are picutre thinking they keep us from walking into the path of a bus or off a cliff and are a signal to us to "return" to reality thoughts and even turn our optic vision back on. I wonder if the scientist that have us hooked to their brain waves even realize our OPTIC nerve is shorted out and we are not seeing optic vision but rather brain generated images we are thinking with? Many Autistic people never realize (espcially modern aged folks) that their OPTIC and Brain generated images are being interchanged. The LACK OF EYE CONTACT should tell you we our EYES are OFF! they might be open and apper to me working and we are indeed seeing an image via our brain generated thought but optically we are not seeing real world vision. Often with deep thought like this we are again deaf as well.
From the Article

"Children are usually diagnosed with autism only after the age of 2 or older. Roberts hopes that MEG could diagnose autism in children just a year old, so therapy can be started earlier and perhaps be monitored to evaluate the effect on the brain."

All of this Early Therapy business is what brought all this designer autism business to the limelight to start with. Now, that the Autism Monster has been born it needs fed and nurtured and supported and the autism baseline ignorance is its fuel. Human nature is such that autism is now too big of an issue to ever be solved- you can't un ring a bell. The ignornace is fuel the very "retard" autisitc person we know today and indeed even us high functioing people started out the same way. It is just with out he Autism Label and the designer empire we all overcame autism on our own and did a very good job of it. What we discovered is a never print before human thought process that is a few step below your thoughts when we are born and rises above normal thoughts when we figured out all of our picutre based (daydream based) thoughts. Autism is BOTH MR/DD and Einstein. Tell that to the professionals with the key to the wrong door.

Brains of autistic children slower at processing sound
18:09 01 December 2008 by New Scientist staff and Reuters

Communication problems associated with autism may be explained by the discovery that the brains of autistic children are a fraction of a second slower to react to sounds than those of normal children.

According to Timothy Roberts of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, speaking on Monday at a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, the finding "provides strong supporting evidence for the emerging theory that autism is a problem of connectivity in the brain".

Roberts and his colleagues played a battery of sounds and syllables to 30 autistic children aged 6 to 15, while the team monitored the magnetic fields produced by electrical impulses from the children's brains.

The test employed a technique called magnetoencephalography (MEG), in which a helmet-like device is used to detect and locate brain activity. MEG has previously been used to show how the brain can filter out background chat at parties in order to focus on a single thread of conversation.

In comparison to normal children in the study, whose response time was around one-tenth of a second, the autistic children had a response time anywhere from 20% to 50% longer.

Abnormal routing
Since one syllable in a polysyllabic word might take less than one-quarter of a second to utter, Roberts says an increase of one-twentieth of a second in response time might hamper a child's comprehension. "There could be abnormal routing or a lack of connectivity in the brain," he says.

Autism is a spectrum of disorders that affects individuals to vastly different degrees, and Roberts thinks the delay could be used to assess the degree of autism in a person.

Microscopic examination of the brain tissue of people with autism has shown there may be fewer connections between their brain cells, says Roberts.

Though more frequently used than MEG, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scans are not detailed enough to detect such small differences in brain connections, and have not found structural differences between autistic and normal brains.

Children are usually diagnosed with autism only after the age of 2 or older. Roberts hopes that MEG could diagnose autism in children just a year old, so therapy can be started earlier and perhaps be monitored to evaluate the effect on the brain.

MEG can cost roughly $400 an hour to perform, but could become less expensive if the equipment became more widely available. The technique is used currently to help locate brain tumours and to diagnose epilepsy.
