Autism and visual processing
Yeah, that is moderately similar, It has the dream like feel to it.
I am not versed in that language, what is the picture implying?
This could have something to do with being overly sensitive, or under sensitive to light. Are you OP?

The picture isn't really implying anything. It is just a visual depiction of how aspergers can be cut-off from the world. The title says: To live without a social sense.
Yes I have problems with light sensitivity, see the thread I made

I understand a little of what you are saying.
I wouldn't describe it that way. Perhaps I do not deal with the same thing that you experience. However, I only see the little details, or notice them first, before seeing a big picture (if I see it at all). It's as if you put a magnifying glass over my eye and I see all these tiny, tiny details. I have to really step back and de-focus my eyes to see any kind of larger picture.
It came out when I took a block design part of an IQ test. It took me forever to make the design because I had to look at it 1/4 by 1/4, and I couldn't see the whole design.
Is that what you are describing?

I read something on sensory processing disorder, which said that when you're seeing too much light, some people are unable to process it all, so your brain doesn't take everything in normally. Making things look distorted.
Please tell me if that doesn't make sense .

No, not really, I may have noticed this effect under stress but I don't think it's of any clinical significance for me.

That partially makes sense, I could see how too much light could make things dreamlike and over saturated (Vivid colors). Do you have a link?

My entire life I have struggled with the feeling that there is something wrong with my perception of the world. As in a lack of clarity, like looking through the bottom of a coke bottle, like looking through a veil. I can best describe it as a chronic dreamlike state, a disconnect from the world with everything around me looking perpetually surreal. Here's the catch though, There is nothing wrong with my eyes, no damage to them, no illness. When inspecting my vision there appears to be nothing wrong. I am flip flopping back and forth trying to figure out if this is indeed an issue with my eyes or some kind of visual processing defect caused by autism. It is chronic, it is always with me.
What is this?
I have the same thing, and it was identified by an optometrist as something called Accommodative Dysfunction and Binocular Vision Disorder. Basically, I have trouble processing the 3D world, and so this causes psychological manifestations similar to what you experience.

No, I don't have any of those problems, I did a google search on both of those conditions and I cannot relate. Interesting though, thanks for that!
