Autism and Short Term Memory

Autism and Short Term Memory

Psychology has a short term memory test you often see on television (Law and Order, popular TV Show Americas) where the subject is asked to remember three words. Then they are asked a series of questions like where they were born, to test long term memory and then the psychologist throws in the 'ringer' and asks the three words you were supposed to remember. If you can't come up with those words they claim you have a short term memory disorder. In effect you do, normal populations are able to have pretty good short term memory and AUTISTIC people can do pretty good too: IF we were able to have a chance to think naturally as we were programmed, with the daydream versions, the slow motion versions of your thoughts all can yield normal thoughts, once we learn our thought process.

Autism is the slow-motion step by step building block thoughts to the human mind all figured out (old autism) and If we really have figured out the mind autism thoughts are simply your thoughts in slow motion. Once we learn the code the autism Divinci Code we can do almost normal thoughts. Sadly Psychology and lots of science is is populated by "money" professionals of some sort, with jobs to keep and careers to build and reputations to protect. Psychologists will never admit and they were never offered a class in the college level courses to "look down" and see where man came from. Naturally, with all that expensive education and the brainwashing that goes with it ,;it means they learn, research is the key to discovery that indeed gives one not only a degree with cap and gown but blinders as well. For far too many psychology professionals they would never be caught dead sleeping with the enemy so to speak and they are far happier popping pills and exploiting the people they forced to a group home. It makes for a more comfortable no touch peer reviewed protected living if there is a good distance between themselves and their patients. If they would walk a mile in our shoes and see just what we have done and how we did it not only would the Short Term Memory test get a little sunshine, we might well add a 1000 new chapters to the psychology books. Alas, in order to do that, we would have to break the Autism empires billion dollar grip on us for a start. So much for progress, modern autism has screwed all of mankind all in the name of psychology. Curse you Rain Man (the movie).

By the way, the picture thoughts of autism are the very key to the short term and long term memory process. No Psychologist has been trained in our working thoughts nor have they ever been in a text book before. Peer review can't possibly be trusted to discover more than a misspelled word as the psychology professionals pat each other on the back and in effect keep the status quoe guidelines enforced. Just think of all the knowledge and insight right under their nose that they will never discover.

Autism Injuries and Lieing

Autism Injuries and Lieing

Yet another segment to Autism and Lieing, as others see it, is we often "claim" we have fallen been injured, etc., but yet it appears we haven't been. The Autism Pain Tolerance as those of us in the real world have figured out makes look like fools all the time. We have learned via experience that we only feel a milliseconds worth of pain before whatever it is disappears into our bodies.

I had knee trouble for years and when the operation was finally done to correct it, it was termed "the worst knee" the doctor had ever seen. 10,000 miles of bike riding and misaligned hips (un even gate) had taken their toll. A few months before the operation I had ran into the bumper of the car after hearing the phone ring in the house. I started running and my OPTIC VISION (lack of eye contact) was OFF and thus I never seen the bumper and smashed into it at full speed. IT crippled me for a few minutes: I was on the garage floor in agony. Days later I was in the Doctors office my knee kept giving out as I walked and he was bending and twisting it in many different directions and most people would have been screaming and I never even winced. I told the doctor of my "bumper pool" and he thought I was Lieing when I told him I was flat on my butt in pain.

We have also learned that when finally really do feel honest real pain for the very first time it is usually something on 9-10 on the pain scale and it is usually and abscessed tooth and it has never hurt ever and with in 15 minutes it is pure HELL, on the trip to the ER it breaks we get acid in our mouths and the pain is GONE, we can even rinse our mouths out with water on the broken tooth and its "fine." (that is the Opposite of the TV show Er and autism cases)

I remember going to Dr Leihart when I was a small child and it was for a common cold, etc., and he was feeling the glands on my neck and they have been "big to him" and I think he was expecting the pain reaction and I never presented that way? He was puzzled? I remember as he left the room to looked in the Merck Manual I felt some "odd tingling" in the area and today I realize that tingling as "pain."Was that the pain I should have felt with the exam?

Several Parents have written me to say "Billy" seems to have fallen and claims he is hurt but he gets around with ease? Or the best one ever was some poor chap fell out of a tree and got right up and went on. A "sore" shoulder and some impaired movement turned out to be a broken shoulder and this guys Mom was nearly charged with abuse for getting her kid to the ER too many days too late. Could the stomach issues and leaky gut issues some autistic people have simply be a rather simple thing like lactose intolerance? If we only feel the very worst of it would present as something horrible with no cure? We tend to miss 2-9 on the pain scale. ALSO we don't show bruises typically. We MIGHT get a very small black and blue mark form drawing blood, etc., but nothing with injury it seems.

So I guess we are "Lieing" in a way but only because we don't show enough pain to present like we are hurt. Add into the mix the lack of Autism thought ability and experience and we really can't communicate the real idea of something. (or would it be believed)? IF Autism actually taught us our Picture thoughts and "Knew" of our Pain Tolerance we could do much more normal lives. You could actually teach Autism thoughts like Temple and others talk about by 6th grade! With our baseline thoughts figured out even pain would be more understood. We don't have to worry too much about that happening Autism is too big these days to even care or listen to it foundation and past.

In a way I'm glad Autism refuses to listen to its figured out past as I fear the torture chambers it would create in the name of research. All some drug company needs to figure out is there is a "pain free" population and we would be on the dissecting table in a matter of seconds. Perhaps we are on some natural drug OR we simply are not wired to feel pain? I really don't think autism research or any research for that matter could ever be trusted with information like that, odds are they will never find it anyway as it has never been in a text book before and the even the best of research is not even asking the right questions to ever figure us out. Truth is stranger than fiction.
