How to make an NT person act autistic.

Post Reply New Topic

You could make a person autistic by emotionally neglecting a non-autistic from young age to the age of 25, since the needed stimulus aren't met this person doesn't develop these sufficient and thus the neural pathways breakdown.

This would cause issues, but not autism.

Seems to me they are missing something important. The disability simulations as described here have become little more than parodies. What they haven't taken advantage of is the psychological power of a simulation and how if leveraged differently could actually help understanding rather than hinder it. Rather than letting it become a structured exercise in "pity the poor disabled", take the intensity of the experience and turn it into something positive.

To say that such things are useless is the equivalent of saying I can understand another culture only by reading books. That going there and tasting the food and working beside them has no value.

I'm thinking the problem is these things were designed by non-disabled people. If they were developed and run by those with disabilities, then they would be more than just "feel bad for the gimps" days.

LOL. I think that is a classic example. Cannabis can distort perception of time. Other drugs mess with memory. I suppose none of these get to the core.
