Autisim: Looking at the World Differently [Must Read]

Post Reply New Topic

Have you ever wondered why Non-autistic Individuals or Neurotypical Individuals or just simply put why normal people treat autistic people differently? Why is it that to Neurotypical Individuals say Autistic Individuals are weird and something is said to be wrong with them and vice versa ? What Causes Autism? How to Control your Autism Intensity How to Fit in and still be you? How to think the way Neurotypical Individuals think without being affected or compromised I will answer those questions and more to the best of my ability please support me thanks.

Tabula Rasa was the theory that the (human) mind is at birth a "blank slate" without rules for processing data, and that data is added and rules for processing are formed solely by one's sensory experiences.
Now if there is a sensory experience that is corrupted or too powerful or even incorrectly translated in the brain it will cause the rules for processing data to either become inert and cause it to crash or CHANGE (Redefine its self).

When we are born we have Infinite Potential (Evident by the brain development and learning capabilities displayed by toddlers) but as Social and Environmental factors and Sensory experiences settle in, our knowledge and ability to process information differently is cut down and mainstreamed or changed to follow Neurotypical people’s reasoning. Basically it is generalized it is not allowed to be creative or it expresses very little creativity basically think of it being a trapped mind.

MIND DEVELOPMENT
So basically you have to ask ourselves how the sub consciences and conscious process in our mind develops how does our reasoning develop it all has to do with sensory experiences being translated in the brain. We can say that when the way that we think changes our brain shape and certain dynamics about it changes this happens all the time in meditation as you become self aware vs. environmentally aware the brain shape changes (Neuroplasticity). So when your thought changes your brain changes and when your brain changes it will affect the way you do anything.

So a conflict in ones conscious or sub conscious or even deeper like an identity crisis or conflict breaks will cause an error or malfunction just like a robot that is given a unanswerable question and explodes unfortunately for that robot it is over its mind is gone but fortunately for humans our complex brain provides a solution and goes to work on it’s self this it triggered by an environmental factor or social factor(sensory experiences) or internal conflicts between the sub conscious and normal conscious and when this happens the brain will either shut down (Childhood Disintegrative Disorder) or it will rewire differently in order to grasp what caused the problem and how to avoid it in the future and set up protocols and steps in case it does happen again. So that's why there are different types of Autism.

So when a Neurotypical individual develops their thought process, foundation building and developing mind follows it follows a Neurotypical Individual way of thinking or thought processing which is letting sensory experience shape it this in turns allows them to feel sensory experiences and this in turn shapes their mind and brain physically. But an individual with autism or Asperger’s syndrome has a REWIRED (thought process).

How does this happen is it genetics, is it caused by some kind of Teratogenic agent, or is it self-manifested, I think those are determining factors only contribute to the overall case a little bit. Here is what I think goes on in most cases the infant starts developing normally but then it encounters a problem, a paradox, a fallacy or a damaging sensory experience caused by a Neurotypical Person affect on this world what then can the BRAIN (Thought process, Reasoning, Handling of sensory Experiences) do the brain can do a lot of things and any process aside from a Neurotypical Thought Pattern it decides to abide by will land you on one of the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and insensitivity of the autism.

Let’s say it follows one of the paths of (ASD) the brain will blocks out sensory experiences it deems unnecessary in order to avoid the problem that caused it originally this is not controlled by your conscious it is done sub- consciously but in return you gain abilities that Neurotypical people don’t have but it is a trade off in order gain you must lose and what you lost was the effect of sensory experiences on the brain so your Neuroplasticity is unaffected by Sensory Experiences and develops in a way a person unaffected or affected differently by Sensory Experiences would and you gain abilities that Neurotypical People deem Weird and useless and damaging . This is why some Autistic individuals have special skills(Savants) because they ignore those mind closure or mind restraining factors (Sensory Experiences)by putting up a shield sub-consciously which in turns let them think without the damaging effect of the world.

Don’t forget everyone’s shield level is different some will allow small details to go through and some Will not even let a scrap get by. This is one of the reasons why even some autistic people differ from one another. So when you think about it Autistic people could be the normal ones while Neurotypical people will be the deformed ones mentally.

It’s vice versa and also ironic you see Neurotypical people will process information sub-consciously and sensory experiences consciously this is why Neurotypical have very little access to that information and their method of accessing it is limited and also they don’t have a good foundation to access it. Whereas a person with Autism will process information consciously and handle sensory experiences sub-consciously which will get blocked but they have a foundation which is unaffected by sensory experiences so they have access to information directly straight from the source this is the trade-off. So how does this explain the effects that are attributed to Autistic Individuals? Easy anything that gives off a sensory experience will be avoided or will be pushed away or translated wrongly, Well what gives off sensory experiences, some of the top sensory experiences people give off is EYE contact when eyes meet each other it gives off so much Sensory experience that a Individual with autism will find it hard to look at you it’s not that they don’t want to.

Eyes tell a lot about a person this is why there is an over-whelming (sensoric experience) but sub-consciously your brain hijacks your system puts up the shield and steers it away from what it believes is a overwhelming sensory experience and the intensity of your autism affects this how strong is your shield and the ability of your sub-conscious to hijack your brain. So when an autistic person is not interested in socializing and following Neurotypical Individuals and expressing themselves you get the so called side effects that are repeatedly always reported. The reason why you have repetitive activities and narrow interest is that you are simply just not influenced by sensory experiences which would typically affect a Neurotypical Individual brain process.

That is why it is hard to have friends and communicate and interact with peers because they constantly give off sensory experiences and even if you do it will be problematic because you conscious and sub-conscious are fighting and most of the time your sub-conscious will win but why is it that you don’t have these problems with your caregiver the answer is simple before the rewiring of the brain started which happens at a young age you have already absorbed that caregiver into your sub-conscious and you get used to it.

So side effects like mind blindness, inability to relate to others, communication and, speech impairments are as a result of sensory experiences being blocked or translated differently in the mind. So what happens know is there a way to fit in without fitting in, is there a way to appear Neurotypical and yet be unaffected by sensory experiences and even have a autistic mind yes is there a way to make friends and look people in the eye without damaging yourself where does the answer lie where does one find such a solution how does one apply such a solution well I know the answer I am currently working hard to develop it and input it into this so called society.

I will say one thing Foundational Structuralization Analyzation (FSA)

Please feel free to email me at tolu913atyahoodotcom for tips, correction, or advice,

If you want to help me help you then research the following: meta-cognition,Unconscious mind vs conscious mind,Sigmund Freud,Empiricism,Adaptive unconscious, and Id, ego, and super-ego and emotions effect on the memory.

It would be good for your support in this, email me on this forum I am a very understanding person and would like to help.

i will also post this at psychforums slash asperger-syndrome if you want me to post this somewhere else please let me know.

This is only a small percentage of my research that i released please have some consideration.

I wanted to post some links but i cant could you please remove the limitations

What a pile of rambling nonsense.

Wow. I found that really interesting. Thanks for that. I've added it to my favourites and will be sure to read it again. I can't take all that information in in one blow.

Thank you for the support,

I also posted my theory on Autism in the General Autism Discussion Index and i generally received mixed reviews though most where good i think that i have to break down the information piece by piece and then try to get across this is not something i like to do but if it will help

no problemo

This is a result of me trying to break it down:

Wow,
Me summarizing this idea is hard especially when you consider that this is a small percentage of my work but here i go
please don't blame as i find it hard to summarize my idea i will only summarize a small portion.

1. Something happened to your thought process as a child no even younger as a infant that caused an error.

2.You brain had different ways of handling the situation and the result it chose it what you have now.

3. That's why there are different types of autistic people(ASD) and that's why the intensity differs between people.

EX.
John was a normal infant but at age 30 months he was noted to abruptly exhibit a period of marked behavioral regression shortly after the birth of a sibling. You see he is having a conflict in his mind he is experiencing something his brain cant handle or just doesn’t understand the reason this happens, at such an age his foundation of his mind isn’t developed and the path it chose what shut down some processes it handles.

the result of this is what is known as Childhood Disintegrative Disorder(CDD)

so looking back

1. everything was normal(he was a normal infant growing)

2. something that didn't make sense happened(new baby in the family)-sensory experience

3. His brain didn't have a solid foundation so it started to rewire it self to understand the problem(behavioral regression)

4. Unfortunately the end result was (CDD)(Childhood Disintegrative Disorder)(brain has rewired its self and physical change has occurred)

I don't know if that helped anyone, this is something i put together rather quickly after looking at the comments.

Please let me know if i helped or if this is still jargon to you

For a beginning to understanding why your ideas make little sense, you have to look back at your starting assumptions: tabula rasa is an extraordinarily naive conception of human cognitive development, and most of the ideas coming from Freud and the psychoanalytic school are just bizarre. Further, these two ideas are diametrically opposed to each other: tabula rasa was an idea coming from Enlightenment philosophy advanced by John Locke (thus heavily based on reason), while psychoanalysis as championed by Freud was a Romantic-era intellectual movement (thus based more on intuition). The juxtaposition of those two contradictory ideas is only made worse by the fact that they are both wrong to begin with.
