Stimming and emotion

You know, due to having my own personal little fun... I've kinda hypothesized that the reason that some Apostolics rock is because they have an over abundance of a wonderful subconscious emotion, that cannot be captured in mere facial expressions. Stimming, which is what rocking is a form of, is something that can be used to either express emotion, or make the emotion that one is expressing. I express my pain in a way I wish wasn't pathologized: Stimming. Because of this, I wonder if smiling would be considered a stim in a world more populated by ASD type people.

Now, one person has 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 the end, I believe that both our kinds do have non verbal communication, but there is a language barrier. Non Autistics SAY, or at least, imply, that we know less about communication than do they. Um, hey, Mr., Mrs., and Ms. Non Autistic, how long did you say you've gone without misunderstanding, or being misunderstood? How 'bout losing your temper? That's always but always but always a mistake. I thought you'd say something like what you're likely enough to say...

Let's try some real empathy, people! Ask others what mean before you potentially make a mistake! Be sensitive for once!

Dixie Royal

You are 90% true Southern!

You are pure belle or gentleman! You know your Jones Soda, Nehi and RC colas, your Moon Pies and sweet potato pie; you'd absolutely die without air conditioners in the summer, and you've seen Steel Magnolias and Fried Green Tomatoes (or read the book!). Your grandmother lives in an antebellum home and has a cook who makes the best fried chicken and asparagus casserole and summer squash and everything else in the world. And you know the taste of honeysuckle and the feel of grass between your toes. You are blessed.

In which I blog on Lisa Jo Rudy's "Autism and the Neurodiversity Movement - What's Your Opinion?"

"Some parents and self-advocates will insist that autism is both a challenge and a gift. Others will argue that it’s a scourge that should be eliminated from the world.

In my opinion, both are right."-- Lisa Jo Rudy

"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..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."--My Informative Speech, from the point of view of an anthropomorphic Autism.

The main thing about the term Autism is that it's from the Greek “Autos,” which means "By oneself, or alone." It refers, of course, to the communication differences, always nonverbal and sometimes affecting verbal skills. The only thing that one should remove from Autism is the Aloneness.-- Paraphrasing my persuasive speech.

"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. One 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.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, like special interest.

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!!!

--Previous blogging.

Thus, I should like to say, Autism mayn't necessarily be the best name for our people.. Maybe Summic-Perspicacious (Summic is related to the term for summit; it means the highest point, main idea, thesis statement, etc), but not self bound. Not alone. IF IT AIN'T WORTH KEEPING, THEN KICK IT!

That's my idea on the statement.

Modern Cool Nerd

Your result for The Nerd? Geek? or Dork? Test...

Modern, Cool Nerd

65 % Nerd, 61% Geek, 48% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and "geek is chic." The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!

Congratulations!

Your result for The Mythological God Test...

Lug

Indeed, you are 75% erudite, 75% sensual, 67% martial, and 63% saturnine.

The God Lug certainly cut an impressive image. Lug was a mighty hero, often portrayed as a blond muscle-man, all decked out in magnificent armour complete with helmet and shield of gold.

As the story goes, Lug came to the glorious palace of The Dagda expecting to be welcomed as a full fledged member of the "God Fraternity" right there on the spot, no questions asked. But the palace guard did question him. In order to take a seat among the immortal Gods, one had to possess a skill not already covered by one of the deities. When the guard asked Lug to name his unique specialty, the mighty hero declared that he was particularly competent in the art of war. The guard shook his head. They already had a War God. Lug then called out several of his many expert abilities. Could they use a God of healing? Nope. A Water God? Nope. How about a God of magic? Of music? Commerce? Nope, nope, and nope. Finally reaching his wits end, Lug lashed out at the guard and demanded to be admitted since none of the Gods were masters of all skills like he was. This worked. Soon he became the greatest of all the Celtic Gods.

These are the 15 categories of this test. If you score above average in …

Look...

My reaction to a story...

People, it was a wonderful story, but some things are hurtful. I DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL UPSET BECAUSE OF ME. So go ahead, put feeling offended out of your access, and let me ask you some rhetorical questions.

Would you like people to say of you, "He has Neurotypicalism." Of your people, "Most people suffer from Neurotypicalism because of the closed minded normalcy that gets them into arguments, fights, and stuff." "People with Neurotypicalism represent a pandemic."

Change Neurotypicalism to Autism, and most else won't have to change.

How did you feel, reading what I wrote? You have a clue how I felt. Please, if that empathy stuff really exists, give it to us! Please..

Thank you. Aside from that, it would have been pretty awesome.

I was feeling alone when I made/uploaded this. Now I guess everyone will get my, "I'm feeling Autistic," non-joke. BTW, Yes, my doc said it first, I researched, and I got in on it.

Open letter to Speech Instructors, or, Speech instructors ought to give students practice time.

I said something about having nearly no beef with your class, but, I wished that you had actually had some practicals in class--that is, practice... The reason this is a concern for me is most likely easily known for yourself. You saw the wonderful time I had on my first speech.

This would certainly increase your ethos as a professor who takes the edge of nervosity off of important assignments. How many speeches (even important ones!) throughout time have been messed up because the speeker was unconfident or not confident enough and stressed?

There's also the issue of out of class practice time. You know, I have another best friend that I could easily imagine being a fried fish in college. She is aged 66 years, has two grandsons, an office assistant job, and would be smoked if she had to deal with college homework. Then there are the unique individuals who have other issues. What about them?

My strongest reason has to do with all your students, and your type of course: This is a life skills class, and you want all your students to be successful in it's area. If you want them to succeed, why not make them study and form their own views from the book? If you were to even, say, ask them to post speech exersize vids to youtube, this may help greatly.

Thank you for paying attention to what I had to say. I think, that by working with the applicable students, Speech classes would be made much more comfortable and much less traumatic for students. Also, the compassionate, caring Speech Professors would be that much more happy and satisfied.

Figure this one out! Biology/Chemistry-types have an advantage.
