My Pledge to Autism Acceptance

This is were I make a pledge to people on the Autistic Spectrum. Whether or not I am on it (I'm almost definite I am, last I heard, my Dr. thought so too), I have loved too many people on the spectrum let this issue of huge potential lost just slide. Never.

Today I pledge to make war;

I Pledge to continue to fight for preferable and decent treatment of Autistics;

I Pledge to fight for a real education for all children, Autistic or not;

I Pledge to continue to fight for decent jobs for Autistic adults;

so that they actually have hope for independence;

I Pledge to continue to fight for understanding for Autism;

I Pledge to continue finding joy in Autism,

but not the disorderly normal people in my surroundings that restrict my life.

Today and every day,

I Pledge to continue to hope for a better life for myself and other Autistics,

through education,

love,

understanding,

treatment for the things that may actually be troublesome,

and eventually, acceptance and empathy;

Today, and every day, I Pledge to continue to fight for the best possible life for my people,

who happen to be Autistic.

Amen, and Amen.

So let it be, and so let it be done.

My message to an Autistic Curebie.

Disclaimer: no, I am not a curebie myself, but I believe that if the shoe, the word, and the metaphor fits, you should wear it. If it hurts, then kick it for all it's worth.

Difficulties? Are you capable of expressing your mind? Yes. Sensory difficulties? Develop an obsession with being a tough person, and believe that you ought to try, if the objection you have is pain related. It worked for me. Social difficulties? Ask questions if you don't know what people are talking about. If a person matters, then they don't want to hurt you. If they do, then they don't matter. All difficulties can be erased. I am for finding out what the erasers are. Including giving you a try to move off the Autism Spectrum if you so desire. Just, you wouldn't be outside ALL diagnostic criteria for ANYTHING, because I want to put all humanity inside those. :)

The main thing that I believe is central to Autism is: the name, the fixative quality, and the root of these. The fixative quality is central to the person, as is the root of this. The term and meaning of Autism is central to the current exact diagnosis. Autism comes from Autos which means alone. The non verbal impairment and special interests would have to remain, as well as their causes. However, you could retain the special interest, the causes, and choose to kick the butt of the classic conditioning that forcibly tricked you into believing that you couldn't communicate. What is the scientific basis for believing that an autistic can't learn communication? Science is always fallible. Why would Dr.s Kanner or Asperger go out looking for completely normal people with perhaps a few things that sort of resemble traits. If one friend does marry that guy, their traits are strong enough for an Asperger's diagnosis for several of their children, and if any are supposedly normal, I bet they'll at least be quirky.

Oh, and, the Asperger's coding is covered by the DSM V's Autism coding. Even PDD NOS.

You can, by the way, beat the communication thing by developing an interest in different types of human brains and different aspects of communication. Dude, that's no more than a stereotype that's just been validated a lot, without finding a way to challenge it. N-E-W-T-O-N was MORE validated. EINSTEIN took him off his hobby horse. Why don't you try it? Just find a way to sever your emotions from your thought. Boost your belief in yourself, because belief is necessary to avoid any semblance of failure. I'm willing to bet it can be done.

Among monozygotic (identical) twin pairs the concordance rate for autism ranges from 36% to 91%, with 60% being a widely accepted number (as far as I can tell, e.g. Bailey et al 1995 ). Obviously, if the twins were both being exposed to the same things, there must be something about personal development.

Do the fixative not belong in the same group, no matter how they communicate?

Do we deserve to be alone because of our mannerisms? NO!!!

Whoopy!!!!

Some Non-Autistics are just plain hypocritical about the communication divide.

I just read a blog post that said Autistics need to get their stuff together. I'm assuming it means about the stimming and stuff, and the fact that we seem not to understand emotions. Well, this is what I have to say on the topic: both our kinds need to get it together. You can't empathize with anyone outside your non-Autistic branch of the human family, and the people in my area have the most difficulty making themselves understood.

In fact, one person had said, "I do not hold such view. Stimming and destructive behavior are not communication. An autistic does not communicate with anyone this way, not even with another autistic. These form a pathological behavior which has a neurological underpinning and it doesn't form a medium of information exchange - hence, no communication."

In reply, I say, "Yes, but how do you vocalize? By magic? Without nerves? Yelling when you drop a book on your toe is no better than hand flapping in reply. How do bees communicate? Motion. So those arm flappers that get the publisher's clearing house award have as much meaning as an autistic to you? They are like the Rosetta Stone. The "Greek" is written on their posture, their face, and coming out their mouths. It is "Greek" to us. But for the sake of the metaphor, your kind are like the linguists in the story. The Ancient Egyptian are the things their arms are doing. Our nonverbals speak it fluently. You speak and understand it to a negative percentage. You're only slightly capable with your own kind. I hate it. How can you claim any degree of empathy if you still get into misunderstandings and arguments with your own kind!

This would have been an open letter to John Best, but I'm not that stupid.

Obviously, if you've been observant enough, reading my blog, you know that I am an Aspergian. If I turn out not to be, then I certainly have loved ones on the spectrum. My goal is to put everybody in the same mental health category. No, not make everyone conform. Make a common label that will fit every type of brain.

How much do you know about Psychology? That is to say, have you taken a recent course in Psychology? Do you know the statistics? About 1/10 Autistics are Severely Autistic. I believe that the severity may come from the vaccines, but am not certain as to, well, anything else. You see, as you know, it is easy to set off an Autistic's hypersensitivity. I myself hate tickling, and don't mind being head butted. Also, people under the age of THREE (as in a two year old getting vaccinated) have something called infantile amnesia. Which is to say, their memories last a bit and are then deleted. Severe shock and possible trauma from multiple vaccinations could be enhancing childhood amnesia, and may be what's causing severe Autism.

But, if you're so concerned for HFAs, this guy was diagnosed by a leading British Autism Researcher, and is a legend. Sort of.

*Personally, I believe it's something about what type(s) of special interest(s) they develop in early childhood. This may also wind up leading to some cases of severe Autism.* I also believe that the intense focus contributes to the surrounding's causing pain. Hey, if life tortures you from a small age (I know what I'm talking about a little; which is to say I've had a small taste of it), then you're not going to develop.

Among monozygotic (identical) twin pairs the concordance rate for autism ranges from 36% to 91%, with 60% being a widely accepted number (as far as I can tell, e.g. Bailey et al 1995 ). Obviously, if the twins were both being exposed to the same things, there must be something about personal development.

Well, I'm still thinking about what I'm hypothesizing...

Ten Warning Signs of "Normality"

borrowed and edited from Janet Foner.

Mad scientists are working around the clock to discover the cure for "normality," a serious and persistent "chronic mental illness"" afflicting much of the general population. Support Coalition International, an alliance led by psychiatric survivors and open to the public, has become very concerned recently as a "norm-demic" has hit the streets, forcing many people formerly safe from this afflicton to recognize that they, too, have caught the dreaded disease.

Fortunately, our scientists have been able to uncover the ten warning signs of "normality."

Take this free self-test:

1. DISHONESTY: You will hold back the full truth, and sometimes even LIE, though the person you're talking to is well-past fifteen-sixteen, and should have developed the attitude, 'If it's a person I should care about, they don't want to hurt me. If it's a person who does want to hurt me, I should not care what they say,' before that age group.

2. OVERLY PROPER: You always do the proper thing - never anything unusual, playful, spontaneous, "different", wild, or creative, if you can help it. You believe playing and being silly or happy are beneath your dignity and only for children. You have a psych trick label of "Dursley Syndrome."

3. LIMITED EXPRESSION: You always act nice even if you can't stand the person to whom you're talking. You never say fully you're thinking, but it does appear to show with lack of interest mixed with condescension. Your diagnosis: "inappropriate expression."

4. RIGHT: You always do everything right _wear the "right clothes", say the "right thing", associate only with the "right people" - you know there is only one right way, and it's you way. You are diagnosed as "conformity prone."

5. BORING: Your conversations, life and living space are dull and boring, and your lawn is always manicured no matter what. In the more advanced stages you have much inner "lifelessness" and "flat affect" - in other words, you are one ot the "walking dead." Your psych cia trick label is "hyper-inactivity."

6. OBEDIENT: You always try not to offend anyone, especially those in authority - your security seems to depend on that. So therefore you are willing to put expediency ahead of principles. Your psychiatric label is "adjustment prone/adjustment reaction."

7. GULLIBLE: You believe that the doctor always knows best, that the media is telling the truth (major newspapers always print the facts, right?), and that the medical model of ?mental illness" has been proven scientifically. Your diagnoses is "normal naivete' disorder."

8. AVOID FEELINGS: You are out of touch with yourself, with the natural world, and with what is going on with other people. It has become too hard to face how others are being oppressed, so you choose a more comfortable path. TV starts to look very, very good. You are labeled with severe blinder-itis."

9. DON"T TRUST YOURSELF: You learned in school that it's important to always pay attention to those in charge and not to trust your own thinking. You learned to "play the game," and you are still doing that. You believe your own lies. You have an advanced case of "schoolmania," which, if not stopped in its early stages can lead to severe overwork and, in advanced stages, "corporate brown-nasal-itis."

10. INDOORISM: You lost touch with wildness in nature, and within your own strong feelings. You do not rebel against ecological destruction. Label: "Tame."

DON'T PANIC: If you have two or more of these signs, within any lunar cycle, it is not too late. Read Dendron News, support one another, get out into nature and especially rake action to stop psychiatric oppression before serious persistent "Normality" sets in.

Jokes for British People

Is it fair to say that there'd be less litter in Britain if blind people were given pointed sticks?

Q: Who are the most decent people in the hospital?
A: The ultrasound people.

(An actual letter sent by a fed up US employee in Port Huncliff, New England)


Mr. Baker,

As an employee of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superior shares an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of myself, and my co-workers during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen.

I was hired because I know about Unix, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time.

You will never understand computers. Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is.

Your shiny new Mac has more personality than you ever will. You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp-dressed, useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude.

In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle.

Seeing as this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting points.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment." I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favourites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. Ib elieve that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favourably by the administration.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your mothers birthday", you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a ketchup bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please, I hate having to correct your damn mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow, not ONE minute later. One word of this to anybody and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never mess with your systems administrators, because they know what you do with all your free time.

Sincerely,

Ted Brewer

Psychopath test

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has got it right.


A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.


Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?
[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]




















































Answer:

She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.
If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.

Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off my email list...

A dog walks into a butcher shop with a purse attached around his neck. He walks up to the meat case and calmly sits there until it's his turn to be waited on. A man, who is already in the butcher shop, finished his purchase and notices the dog.

The butcher leaned over the counter and asked the dog what it wanted today. The dog put his paw on the glass case in front of the ground beef, and the butcher said, "How many pounds?" The dog barked twice, so the butcher made a package of two pounds of ground beef.

He then said, "Anything else?" The dog pointed to the pork chops, and the butcher said, "How many?" The dog barked four times, and the butcher made up a package of four pork chops.

The dog then walked around behind the counter, so the butcher could get at the purse. The butcher took out the appropriate amount of money and tied the two packages of meat around the dog's neck.

The man who had been watching all this time, decided to follow the dog. It walked for several blocks and then trotted up to a house where it began to scratch the door to be let in.

As the owner appeared at the door, the man said to him, "That's a really smart dog you have there." The owner replied, "He's not all that smart. This is the second time this week he forgot his key."

I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.

I went to the butchers the other day and I bet him 50 quid that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. And he said, "No, the steaks are too high."

Lesson to be learned from typing the wrong email address:

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.
They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.
Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans.
So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel.
There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife.
However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral.
He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends.
After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.
The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor,
and saw the computer screen which read:

To: My loving wife

Subject: I've arrived Date: May 9th, 2005

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here

now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones.

I've just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then.

Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P.S. sure is ruddy hot down here!!!!!

Sultan of Brunei

The Sultan of Brunei was getting a bit cheesed off as he had 6 children, all girls, and therefore had no son and heir. Imagine his joy then,when one of his wives presented him with his only son and heir. Just before his son's sixth birthday, the Sultan took him to one side and said, "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get for you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like an aeroplane." Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father bought him British Airways. Just before his son's seventh birthday, the Sultan took him to one side. "Son, you are my pride and joy. Anything you want, I shall get for you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father bought him P&O Ferries. Just before his son's eighth birthday, the Sultan took him to one side. "Son, you bring so much happiness into my life. Anything you want, I shall get for you." His son replied, "Daddy, I would like something to watch films on." Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father bought him MGM Studios and their cinemas, where he watched all his favourite Western Movies. Just before his son's ninth birthday, the Sultan took him to one side. "Son, you are an inspiration to us all. Anything you want, I shall get for you." His son, who had caught the 'Western' movie bug, replied, "Daddy,I would like a cowboy outfit." Not wanting to do anything by halves, his father went and bought him Microsoft.

How to spread awareness

The internet is a great resource for spreading awareness of any topic!

You can blog, you can network, you can design tee shirts, and there are at least three things you could put in your signature.

1. You can put reliable, factual information in print in your signatures.

2. You can put pictorial communication in your signatures.

3. You can put statistics (make sure that it has a decent control group, though).

Why Should Christians Care About Neurodiversity?

Why should Christians care about Neurodiversity? I'll tell you. For one thing, I've seen quite a few types of brains in our Churches. Inattentive ADHD. Mild MR. Schizophrenia. Autism. Autism symptoms. More Autism. Mood disorder. Still more Autism. Maybe a few half-normal Pentecostals. That's a lot of Autistics and normal people, huh?

God loves us just as much as He loves you!

He loves sinners and saved, eccentrics and normals alike. Look, He even loves this irritating high functioning autistic I know. She can seem like exactly the sort you wouldn't want to try to understand. Turned off at the normals, and doesn't think religion is rational, and stuff.

But who are we to deny God the pleasure of any mind, body, or soul that He created through inaction?

Who are we to say that He doesn't deserve to have to deal with "that kind?" We know who we're really worrying for. Ourselves. we're afraid we're going to make fools of ourselves. :P

You know, Jesus chilled with... The Woman at the Well! Mary Magdalene! Hey, He warned Peter about his' denial. Yet He gave him the Keys to the Kingdom!

Aside from that, "let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Well?

God loves all His' children! Would you deny Him the pleasure of some, because you think He derives as much pleasure from our stereotypies as you do? You may or may not understand. But One Who Is omniscient could quite possibly see past the behaviour, and see the nonverbal communication.

In closing, I would like to say that in Church, I have seen many things that resemble stereotypies. Normal people, with intense emotion. One wonders what it would be like.... with not so normal people. When I'm at my happiest, man. You don't wanna see me like that. I mean, it looks really weird, But: I'm having fun. It's an explosive, huge expression, and I'm having a wonderful time. I don't think you guys are even aware of that particular degree of emotion. But my point is, would it not be appreciable as praise....

To One who made physical contact with Lepers.

To One who loves us so much, that He endured an excruciating and infernal battle for us.

Whether our brain has dopamine differences...

Sensory differences....

So called 'Normalcy.'

Attention issues.

Any kind of difference, really...

Well, yeah, honest expression and communication of love between parent and child would be something He desires...

Thank you.

Countdown to the Dawn Treader!

"to restrict or narrow conditions under which interfering behaviors occur (eg, modifying the learning environment); and
to reduce interfering behaviors (eg, self injury or stereotypy). "

I get why self injury is bad, of course. But why would the stereotypy be negative, if the kids were taught to ignore it? Don't give me the muck about schools enforcing conformity; I already know of it and hate it.

Stereotypy, I would like to hypothesize, is a form of nonverbal communication that non-autistics use so rarely, that to see it used so often, with the infamous Autistic attention to detail, creates a language barrier.

Normal people who feel like that expression implies do so much more rarely, so it must mean something different, or nothing at all.

Yeah right. And they say WE have bad theory of mind.

Which Narnian Species Are You?

Who am I?

Suzaku is suspiciously similar to you as you'd like to be. She isn't really very cool: she blends into crowds, she hangs out on the fringes at parties, and wearing shades after dark makes her run into things. There's never been anything special about her that she could see; boy, is she in for a surprise. She's come in for her share of hurt, but gotten off with minor damage. And you've been sparing with the free handouts: whatever she gains, she's worked for.

In general, you care deeply about Suzaku, but you're smart enough to let her stand on her own, without burdening her with your personal fantasies or propping her up with idealization and over-dramatization. Suzaku is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of her.

Hello, my name is Autism. You may have heard of heard of me before in a much more negative tones, as a robber of child development and parental hopes. I hope to make myself much more understood by this.

People say that I am a communication handicap. However, I am fixation and sensitivity, with great attentiveness to detail. I happen in varying strength and weaknesses; this is why I'm a spectrum.

The people I touch are falsely accused of being without emotion. The diagnostic criteria clearly state that nonverbal communication is impaired, and makes it look that way. My people could easily be understood, if those not like them would use context and understanding.

Not all Autistics are mentally deficient. In fact, I have raised up some noted geniuses. Daniel Tammet, the man who computed Pi better than a computer, and learned Icelandic in seven days. Stephen Spielberg, Physicist. Bill Gates, of course, of Microsoft fame. Unfortunately, not all of us get to be savants or geniuses. This is another example of my spectrum hood.

In closing, I should like to say that all people in the world should be understood. Almost none get this comprehension, that they so desperately need in some cases. My own people already have the western world's already flawed communicative system very much against them. Please, be understanding of neurologically diverse people, so that they might begin to understand you.

Woohoo!!!!!!!

Your result for Which Knight Are You?...

Samurai

Hero of the East

Samurai were mighty warriors of Japan. Most often they worked for Shoguns, which were feudal japanese warlords. A Samurai who had no boss was a Ronin. The samurai could kick any Ninja's ass any day, and were the reason that Ninjas had taken to hiding in the shadows. Another thing of beauty we owe to the japanese, in addition to Sake and Sushi, was the Samurai outfit, although I'm sure you wouldn't think so if you had one coming after you!

Click here for descriptions of how you relate to the other types

I think for the most part I try to make my life pretty structured, and one thing that other people can depend on is that I have a very strong sense of duty.

I’m a team player but I work best with some time alone. I like it when everything is laid out and I can just concentrate on doing the job. I hate it when I don’t know where I am going, and I like feedback so I know I’m on the right track. If part of the job entails ambiguity, that’s fine just as long as the goal is to reduce ambiguity. I like being financially secure with the bills paid on time so my family can enjoy the things that we like to do. I like to have a fallback plan. I do like to laugh and have fun too, but work is more important to me, and then I make my little jokes. I always think I have to get my work done before I can go out or go home, when I can just sit down and relax without anything hanging over my head. I take responsibility seriously, and if I’m going to put my name on something, my desire is to insure it’s as good as it can be.

A sense of right and wrong is extremely important, and I will not just stand by and watch people doing things wrong. It really tears me apart. I tend to want things in order and people doing the right things. I want to have some rules. I always wanted to please people, and a safe environment to me is where I don’t have to compete with anyone else’s wishes. If I get into a situation where I feel very strongly and can’t articulate the words or can’t win, I just don’t say anything. I tend to put up with conflict rather than deal with it. I try to deal with stress, but I am not necessarily a good confronter. I would like to be more of a stress avoider.

I find myself duty bound sometimes and find that I do things because of what’s expected of me. People can trust and count on me, and I am very dependable, almost to a fault. I strive to keep balance between work and home, and if I’m going to provide for my family I’m going to have to swallow some things at work. When I see families that really want to be together, that’s a relationship that those people worked at for many years to achieve. Being a friend means caring enough about an individual to call them to see how they are doing, and if I can see someone has held true to their word, then they’ve probably gained my trust. If you were to ask me to define the word love, you would get responses like caring, responsibility, and loyalty.

I am a very private person and I don’t like a lot of attention. Although I enjoy being with people, observing them, and just being a part of the group, I really like some solitude. People who don’t know me perceive me as pretty formal and rigid, and then I’ll get out of character and people don’t know how to deal with that. They misinterpret my subtle sense of humor. I do have some ability to improvise every once in a while. I take a lot of pleasure in the simple things.

With a problem, I will try to look at all the parts and line them up to insure I don’t miss something. I have to force myself to look at the big picture and solve it before I can say, “Yes, this is going to work.” I’m not the idea person, but if I have experience I will give my opinion about how I think it should be done. If it’s new, I am very much apt to sit back and take it all in and sit on it and think about it. I try to catch myself, but it’s so unnatural for me to see the good side of things, and turning around my perspective takes a lot out of me. I want a rock-solid case for why I feel the way I do. A lot of my ideas are very practical, not theoretical—the down-to-earth stuff people really need to know. Sometimes when people don’t see my point, I tend to withdraw or stand back.

I can’t stand people who don’t care for others, who are irresponsible or rude, who shoot their mouth off without knowing what they are talking about or who don’t do what they are supposed to do and want something for nothing. I especially can’t tolerate people who don’t take other people’s time or privacy into consideration.

I get up in the morning and do my routine. And I take time at the end of each day to try to plan what’s happening the next day, what I’m going to be working on first, second, third, and so on through out the day, to eliminate the unexpected. Sometimes I might carry a book or something in case I have to wait somewhere. That makes life easy and full. Stability is important to me and change may not be that easy, but variety is good too. I seek advice when I need to change.

Neurotypical understanding of other types of brains

"Members of this loosely defined faction agree that autism is a neurological condition, but so, after all, is the state of what they call neurotypicals. Most people who will read this essay are, despite our oddities, neurotypicals. It is also true that many people who will read it can, like its author, notice autistic traits in themselves. For millennia we neuro- typicals have refused to acknowledge neurodiversity and so (it is said) do not understand even ourselves."

From Ian Hacking’s paper “Humans, Aliens & Autism.”

Why should we bind ourselves to what they think of us, then? Has he not stated our opinion very well himself?

Why should we not try to figure out the things they've forbidden us?

The human brain? There is so much that psychologists haven't discovered yet. The conditions, the what ifs.... What if they are ours to discover. What if we developed a theory of mind? One that was better than theirs? What if we were to use our stims to express ourselves (as I think we mostly already do) and also develop a solid system of understanding them and ourselves?
Neurotypicals argue. We should take our fixative capacities, stick it to them, and become curious about the communication they've already given us an aversion to. Imagine if we could beat the system, and form our own style of communication, that could be unique for every person, and still retain the peace that comes with having some things standardized? What if? Who wants to beat the system with me? I want to. I desperately want to.

We could quite possibly become more familiar with the types of minds of other individuals. Right now, we're just as, or less interested, than they are, in the minutiae of the mind. I certainly hope I won't be an outcast for this.

Something I posted on a dating website.

The personality trait that makes me unique is the fact that I am an inattentive Aspergian, probably. Either that, or the fact that I'm Apostolic. Maybe that I'm an Innatentive ADHD Apostolic Aspie?

I would best describe my lifestyle as very very difficult at the moment. Life is complicated, and I have approximately one, and two quarter's tracks in my brain. Life is pressuresome. The tracks break really easily.

My most personally outstanding talent is my capability to understand. Sometimes, I hear, see, and read meaning in things that other people don't. I used to be able to apologize my way out of anything. Yeah, It's either my understanding/comprehending/communicating triad, or the fact that my senses are really really good. Don't-sneak-up-on-me-as-I-will-nearly-go-into-cardiac-arrest-type-good.

To me, romance means understanding. If one doesn't fit like a puzzle piece, and make up for those curves and flaws, then one can't really be a match. Understanding a person, and loving them anyway, is like the romantic existence between God and the Church. That's the kind of love I'm asking the Wind to blow me.... Not that it's likely...

The 3 things I want to do in my lifetime are Build a House On a Solid Rock, and fill it with a pack. Get quite a few books published, and live an experimental lifestyle. Well, Good evening!

Laws I found on another blog.

Doug and Marsha's law:

Anytime scientific evidence from a reputable and bonafide source is provided, people who range from proponents of the vaccine autism theory to outright anti-vaccination people will immediately cover their ears and go la-la-la-la and close their eyes and run to their conspiracy theory sites to find more comforting scary information that says everyone in the world is out to get them.

The mythical, magical Neurodiversity Movement Law:

Any poster who argues against a mythical, magical neurodiversity movement that posits that parents of autistic children (children with autism) believe nothing should be done to help said children achieve their potential and that therefore the poster is the better parent/person/martyr/victim immediately loses any credibility and proves his/her priority is not the child but him/herself.

Your result for What Planet are You From? Test...

You are from Uranus!

27% Uranus

Well, how about that? You are from Uranus!

Uranus is a bit unusual in that it kind of tilts to its side. They think that might be because it was involved in some kind of collision with another planet or huge asteroid at some time. Uranus also has nine rings. It was discovered in 1871 and is the third largest planet in our solar system.

Uranus was named after the Greek father of the sky. It is said that he come to the planet to mate with Gaia, but he hated the children that she bore. Hmmm. Does that mean that you don’t like very many humans?

What does this say about you?

Well, it means that you have a very strong personality. You like being different. You are just one of those people that are hard to describe. You like to make people think because you realize that life is always changing.

You have lots of ideas and could possibly be an inventor. You enjoy learning about new things and trying things out. You are definitely a doer and a creator. Give you a rubber band, a paper clip, and a ball point pin and I’m sure you could manage to do something very interesting and unusual with it.

An Extremely Controversial Post

A Message to Ken Bruce

Your article about Autism

Sir, I am an Pro-Neurodiversity Aspie. I believe that your article was well written, and actually rather nice. Seriously, though, I have a hypothesis about Autism. You see, I have had a surprising and difficult situation for a very long time that basically stole my capacity and part of my desire for communication. Sound familiar?


A baby would have a shorter attention span, but we all know how Autistics just love things that they haven't prepared for. Or, well, not. I suspect that some receive their hopes, partially, and turn out to be Aspies. Others got several more specific types of wishes and become PDD-NOS. The traits could've been made to be completely invisible, if a person was simply taught differently. I've discovered a few of the greatest possibilities due to a very few people, recently enough, get everything they need to keep the traits considered much less important overlooked, and the main most traits are practically there in ways the diagnostic officials would never take note of, let alone look for without prompting.

The very best thing I understand to do is to embrace the strengths, and the person. Understand what resonates with them, and tug on that to develop them into a fully developed, understanding character of a human being. This is the best thing, to have a fair, honest, loving, possibly even expressive (depends on the interest), hopeful fighter child. Do Autistics belong in the same Neurofamily as those who have the mastery of most all, or near all, or to any degree more fully, communication's rules? YES! YES, FOR HEAVEN'S AND ALL OUR SAKES! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE EXPENSES, AND WE ALL DON'T DESERVE THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND JOY! Would the Autism Spectrum as it is currently described, in all it's hopelessness fit us all? NO!

Please, sir, if you're the least bit hopeful about my hypothesis, MESSAGE ME BACK. We both understand how significant this might wind up becoming. Thank you, sir.

Wow! Interesting.

Your result for The Evolution versus Design Test...

Intelligent Design

You are 59% scientific!

You support the Intelligent Design movement. Essentially, you believe that evolution occurs on a small-scale (adaptation or micro-evolution), but that it cannot account for certain complex structures--which therefore necessitates that these structures were designed by a being with intelligence. In all likelihood, your knowledge of scientific methodology is highly lacking, most notably because the "theory" of intelligent design isn't even remotely scientific. You seem to think that merely pointing out perceived "holes" in evolution proves that biological structures are the result of intelligent design. However, attempting to falsify evolution would not validate design, anymore than falsifying the theory of gravity would validate the theory of magical fairies that cause things not to float into the air. Of course, the people who support the Intelligent Design movement can't adequately provide evidence in favor of their theory because it's predicted observations are simply too broad. Unlike evolution, Intelligent Design would not specify any specific observations we could expect to find in biological systems. Where evolution predicts vestigial structures, bodily and genetic similarities, and an evolutionary progression in the fossil record, Intelligent Design would account for virtually any biological observation, because it does not make any specific predictions and thus isn't falsifiable. It can't be tested because any observation would fit the framework. It is important to realize that the mere explanation of facts is not enough for a scientific theory. It also has to take predictive risks and set itself up for being potentially falsified. Is there an observation we could make that would "prove" it must not have been designed by an intelligent power? Not really. An intelligent power could feasibly design anything we perceive, including things that do not appear complex or purposeful at all. Because there is no way to falsify the theory, there is no way to test it.

As a result of this, the Intelligent Design movement relies on a lot of misinformation about evolution in order to defeat it. They may emphasize that evolution is only a "theory", trying to imply that it isn't justified by any evidence, when in a scientific context the word "theory" implicitly implies that the idea has much evidence on its side and contains multitudes of facts that fit its framework. They also tend to point out areas that evolution has not been fully explained at the moment, saying this is evidence for design. However, every scientific theory has unexplained areas, and we can't expect theories to fill every hole. This is a reflection of our epistemic limitations as human beings, not a reflection of the validity of evolution! The fact that evolution does not explain everything is not a criticism, nor does this wipe away the wide array of facts it DOES explain. Furthermore, an unexplained observation is not a falsification of the theory. Potentially, an unexplained phenomenon could one day be shown to falsify the theory--but merely pointing out our ignorance of the explanation does not falsify anything. It is just as possible that it could fit the framework.

As a supporter of the Intelligent Design movement, you should definitely study scientific methodology to learn why your position is not even remotely scientific. On a philosophical level, as well, your position is highly untenable. The teleological argument (which is what Intelligent Design is based upon) runs thus:

1. Complex, purposeful structures show evidence of intelligent design.
2. Biological structures are complex and purposeful.
3. Therefore, biological structures were intelligently designed.

Now, the argument does indeed follow, but what of the designer? Is not the designer complex and purposeful? The designer of such structures would necessarily be complex and purposeful. Therefore, following the premises of the argument:

1. Complex and purposeful things were intelligently designed.
2. The designer implied by the teleological argument is complex and purposeful.
3. Therefore, the designer was intelligently designed.

This creates an infinite regress of designers. The regress cannot be stopped unless one denies the very premises of the argument. Therefore, the idea is incompatible with monotheism, and anyone who thinks it justifies an inference of a single all-powerful God is fooling himself.

In short, Intelligent Design is neither scientifically nor philosophically tenable. It makes no specific predictions and relies wholly on criticizing the "holes" in evolution--despite the fact that all theories have "holes" in knowledge and these gaps do not falsify the theory, nor do these gaps wipe away the abundant evidence in favor of evolution. I highly recommend that you read about all the evidence in favor of evolution. When you realize how many facts in all kinds of different biological fields fit the evolutionary framework, you will realize how truly magnificent and wonderful the theory really is.

However, you can find solace in the fact that you are not a creationist. Your arguments are a little more intelligent, sophisticated, and cunning than the average creationist, even though they are, in the long run, just as flawed.

If you feel that gaps in the fossil record or the second law of thermodynamics contradicts evolution, please click here, as these arguments are addressed and assessed there and shown to be lacking.

Aspies, Communication and Curing Autism

I just sent the video to my best friend, who is non-autistic, but just as definitely non-neurotypical. The video was rather sickening. Certainly, cures are impossible, but I. AM. WILLING. TO. BET. that one, two, or more symptoms are psychologically/environmentally related. Certainly, not the attention to details, the sensitivity differences, or the fixative special interests. But, bullied/looked down on/having a lack of respect, friends, and the emotional profit thereof because of communication? Reversible. Most likely reversible, if you're interested.

The main key would most likely be that recognizing that the non-literal minded majority don't know how to think. I think we could figure out some things (how ordinary people think, how to elude embarrassment, how to by developing an interest in it, and use the uber-complex rules of cause and effect (which are easily contemplated, but very difficult to read from those other guys) to figure out how to do things they don't think we can, in ways they'd never think possible. (In other words, eliminate the flaws in communication by making it so that no one whom you pick out as someone to get close to ever has to start an argument with you, and the two way street of understanding goes pretty much equally both ways. Mind you, you have to pick someone who agrees with you enough to make the "not arguing" work. You also have to pick someone that is patient, that you agree with on that.

((Mind you, this does not save us from some of the idiots out there. Actually, it doesn't save us from many, until we learn character development.))

I have a lot of really, really big ideas about us and communication, and I'm feeling rather wary about how they'll be received. I do hope you'll decide to help me prove the ones who really don't understand us wrong. I believe that we can form a semi-united style of communication that would support US as human beings, who have a right to understand better, because of our attention to the little things.

I beg pardon if I offend.

And since I am literally minded and have been taught that I should do unto others as Jesus does unto me, it is mandatory for me to stay up longer than she does. It is also mandatory for me to pull her chair out for her.

I have reason to hope no one notices exactly how I say "amen," which is a throwback to another special interest. Einstein was Ashkenazi Jewish. ((Mind you, "Ashkenazi" leads to linguistic information, "Jewish" leads to ethnic and other information.
