A check List from the pages of new age autism, now that Autism is a designer epidemic and buzzword condition these are "fighting words" not the natural old working autism that many older un admitted autism people like me that build on Temple Grandin's work aspire to. Since what we have figured out has never been in a text book before and generally we were 30 ish before we figured out autism ,Modern Autism sees fit to spin their wheels and never listen to the autism they don't want to hear about. Here are some signs to look for in the children in your life:
*Lack of or delay in spoken language *Repetitive use of language and/or motor mannerisms (e.g., hand-flapping, twirling objects) *Little or no eye contact *Lack of interest in peer relationships *Lack of spontaneous or make-believe play *Persistent fixation on parts of objects
Lack of or delay in spoken language Of Course it only stands to reason and years ago it was just par for the course that we were not talkers. As we absently were allowed to develop our splinter skills and obsession they naturally opened up our learning hallway and speech naturally followed. Modern Designer autism took away for our protection any use for splinter skills and obsessions and now by doing that took away our only chance at real progress.
IF science or autism knew of our picture thoughts the lack of eye contact thoughts and knew what it was we had to do with them to convert them into language they could teach us how to do it and we could talk as quick as anyone else. Autism is BOTH MR/DD and Einstein and leaving out our splinter skills assures modern Autism is Mr/ DD only- hence their epidemic.
Repetitive use of language and or motor mannerisms Echolaia is a natural for us condition and even in later life we have issues with it but as become social we learn to control even that. As for the movement Autism in its zeal to become designer forgot all about our pain tolerance and some of the flapping is simply us trying to feel our bodies work. We can see our hands move but often don't feel them move like you would. In fact, it kind of feels good to move our body parts. it is something like you feeling the burn after a workout. While we are on Pain Tolerance it explains the stomach Issues some aspies have as we probably have simple lactose intolerance and we only feel the worst symptoms of it thus we present like we are really sick. Medical science will do the rest and make us sick. Also note toilet Training is deeply affected by the pain tolerance we often don't feel the need to go until it is almost too late nor do we feel when we are done. The Internal clues the deeper in our body a signal is the less of it we feel.
Little or No Eye Contact That is the biggest sin of Modern Autism and the simplest one to solve. IF the so called autism professional knew what it was we were doing to think with our lack of eye contact thoughts they would know what to do teach us our never in print before thought process. They would know that a few steps ABOVE Temple's Thinking in Pictures is picture-in-picture thought and projection thoughts they allow us to finally keep eye contact on and still think with our day dream thoughts. We are often deaf and blind during and autism thought and our Optic and brain generated vision is interchanged while we think. All of this CAN be figured out and controlled If only Autism would listen. Autism Speaks , But does it listen? Once Autism thoughts are figured out all of them, normal thought like you use is the result. Autism is the building block thoughts of the mind. Too bad they have never hit the radar of the peer review professional that have never had a picture thought or walked a mile in our shoes.
Lack of interest of in peer relationships We DUH, that will come naturally and until our autism thoughts are figured out the step-by-step building thoughts taking place during the lack of eye contact our natural thought level is just to low to connect as you expect us to do. Funny when DO connect to life and have figured out the" 99 conversations" people have we really don't want to talk to you. Autism even the Autism you know and can't figure out is Einstein working its way down to your level even though we present as a sack of rocks. Until Peer review autism includes everyone in its peer review autism will remain a puzzle on a bumper sticker and an wild epidemic of its own making. I know all the numbers in the world prove there is trouble but they don't tell you modern day Autism standards and the designer autism - forgot the most important points of our condition. If you factor back in our splinter skills and obsessions we were able to absently figure out never in our never in print before thought process that is naturally programmed in our mind.
Lack of spontaneous or make-believe play Well Really, Old Autistic people have laughed at that one for year as we invent things like Turing Motor and computers. If Autism Experts understood our thought process they would be delighted to see our imagination works perfectly only it is not the ideal they expect. Look at Temples Stock yards? You can't see the imagination in that?
Persistent fixation on parts of objects Perhaps if they understood our keen senses they would know like a dog hearing a srien we might well be listening to the decibel meter sounds a part is making. Of course our hearing according to the experts is just normal but there again they can't hear our decibel meter type of thing so there fore it is impossible. Since our mind is Einstein caliber we are often re engineering different ways different parts and might even have an improved design in our picture thoughts.
Honestly Autism WAS pretty well figured out before it went designer and most of us naturally out grew autism and the chance to do so absently via our obsession and splinter skills. EVERYTING about new modern autism is true from the treatments to the epidemic to the poor functioning anti social aspie but it is a self -inflicted injury. Autism since Rain Man just got a hold of the wrong end of the stick. Since autism is the building blocks of the mind that explains our Savants and other things but it can't explain the pure stupidity of the modern research empire that is hell bent on the autism it knows and claims to understand. Now that Autism's Curse is in full swing and funding is coming from far and wide and since Autism is beholden to Fundraiser's ,walk-a- thons and even Nascar that naturally has attracted many otherwise out of work psychology and autism research professionals that find they can make a great living researching autism. Now if they reach back into the dark ages before Rain Man and solve Autism like we have done they would be out of a job? Or would they? Autism holds the promise of adding a 1000 more chapters to the psychology books someone needs write them.

Alan's Driving- My Einstein Driving
Autism Revisited- quotes from Autism's blueprint The Enigma by Andrew Hodges the biography of Alan Turing 1912-1954, father of the computer. His biography is Autism's blueprint older autistic (mostly) followed.
Page 395 Autism and driving.
"I might suddenly go mad and crash" he told Don Bailey rather dramatically. He had not done well with the car at Princeton (a 31 Ford V8) and probably tended to daydream with mathematical thoughts in a dangerous way. He preferred in any case to use his own steam," (a motorized bike)
From Rich Shull
"Daydreaming with mathematical thoughts" is probably right on the money meaning he was using picture thoughts to think with EVEN while driving. I have learned to JUST DRIVE and keep optic vision on while driving and I use Projection thoughts If I need to picture think while driving. Projection thoughts are a wonderful go between thought of Autism and normal thoughts. If Alan was in a more of a car culture like we are in the United States, I am sure he would have developed the projection thoughts probably after a few accidents. Indeed our Autistic drivers usually honed this autistic thought style after our 3rd or 4th crash. Then we never had trouble driving again as we knew to keep our optic vision on and distraction to a minimum.
Now here is the Kicker we make GREAT STUNT DRIVERS. Who else could figure the angles and speed of the cars approaching you in a crash scenario? Then figure the laws of physics to make the least of the impending crash or miss it all together? We can, autistic drivers knowing all the picture thoughts can be perfect stunt divers. It is like Einstein driving a car.
Here is my story. I was traveling down US 33 in Lancaster Ohio and a driver running a red light at Collins Road is directly in my path as (he/she) was continuing their course. I was in the passing lane heading toward Lancaster. I figured out WHEN the other diver would finally "see me" (via Years of diving experience) and then I figured they would just scream Oh **** and slam on the brakes in a panic and wait for the cash.
Well, Via Autism thoughts I figured out the stopping distance of their car with full brakes and I figured the crash point if I did nothing and then figured via the laws of Physics- I could do better by stepping on the GAS not the brakes. As I did that I would power threw the crash, If we hit lots of the crash energy would be knocked away most of the crash force would be harmlessly expelled, plus my tires would grip much better under full throttle. As it was I MISSED the event by a few millimeters. Normal emotional based drivers would have also screamed Oh **** and did nothing and indeed by default end up with the worst possible crash, as all the energy of the crash would have been concentrated in the crash zone with major injures to both parties for sure. After the crash my rear axle thumped a bit that was a small price to pay considering a real crash was just missed.
After the crash I finally did have a few emotions and a bit of build up and let down but they were after thoughts. My point is emotionless Autistic thoughts did WONDERS in allowing the same Einstein thought that makes us savants and inventors and allows us to keep us out of the crash as well. Years earlier when my 62 Pontiac featured on the front page of this blog lost all of her brakes going down hill I was able to use Autism Picture thoughts and emotionless thoughts to "read" the page from the driver eduction manual and do the stuff you do when you loose the brakes. (and they say picture thought doesn't work) I missed a crash then to. The entire student body was surrounding me saying "Good Driving" when I finally got her stopped! They seen me FLY off the hill going into Lancaster High School then when I was driving in circles to rub off some speed and then when they heard the motor roaring as I down shifted to eat up some speed it was all a signal of trouble with a capital T. I think a normal driver wood have again just panicked and crashed. As you can see Luella is still in one scratch free piece and indeed a beautiful classic car these days. Then it was just an old car and of course my autistic obsession.
If Alan would have drove more he would have got good at it like we did. Granted a 31 Ford was a chore to drive in its own right Luella at least had power steering and brakes when they worked. Many modern autistic people being brought up in the modern era have no business driving I'm sorry to say as they never had the insight developed to understand the basic autism fact of OPTIC and Brain Generated vision. Not only that few of them have developed our best picture based thoughts so they have no clue how to do normal thoughts and our natural ones That indeed makes us zombies to modern autism and also to Rain Man's curse and lackluster ways. So much for progress.
When I help new young autistic drivers of today I MUST stress the point and make them learn we NEED to step on the brakes and not just touch the pedal. Once that issue is resolved and we discuss optic and brain generated vision we do OK with some practice. It seems we naturally don't press hard enough on the brakes, perhaps that is related to our pain tolerance. Otherwise we need to sit with the car idling and listen to all the noise it makes that you never hear like the fluid flowing in the power steering the vacuum in the brake booster and the noise of the valves etc. Many finally learn for the first time in their life via that experience we indeed hear more than you do. I joke with them not to complain of the noise, their compliant will never be heard! Rich Shull

Watching Dasies Grow
Autism Revisited- quotes from Autism's blueprint The Enignma by Andrew Hodges the biography of Alan Turing 1912-1954, father of the computer. His biography is Autism's blueprint older autistic (mostly) followed.
From The Enigma, Page 13.14
"Besides watching daisies grow, Alan liked inventing things. On 11 February 1923 he wrote:

mark. In the American Natural wonders everything had to have a reason. But the British system was building different 'thinking spots'- the virtue of Casabianca, the boy on the burning deck, was that he carried out his instructions literally, losing his life in the process.
The Masters did their best to discourage Alan's irrelevant interest in science, but could not stop his inventions- in particular ,machines to help him in the writing problem that still plagued him: "
Autism is Einstein working its way down and out of our minds into normal thoughts like yours. This clearly evident to me here as Alan was quoted. The odd spelling the lack of punctuation the odd capital letters all signal picture thoughts being translated. Example .... know the Rhyme made up from casabianca...... The capital R in Rhyme would have been a KEY picture thought. A picture thought is closely related to you describing a day dream. The word Rhyme would have had to have been a very bold "for sure" meaning to him-thus the importance given to it by the capital letter. It was like Rhyme was suddenly the subject of the sentence and not just a thought as normal tinkers would know it.
Alan's Picture thoughts are as follows (my best Guess)
::: I have got a lovely cenema kind of thing Micheal ** sills gave it to me and you can draw new films for it:::
Rich thinks,
Alan's picture thought would have been Michael holding a "cenema scope" If you had a day dream of Michael holding a cenema Scope that would be similar to Alan's thought that made it to words.
:::I am making a copy of it for an easter present :::
I think his Picture thoughts would have had a picture of the calendar and a "list of holidays and perhaps a motion picture thought of his family gatherings. Motion Picture thoughts would have reviewed the last "100 or so" family gatherings he had. He could have taken all those motion pictures he had in the span of a few seconds and simply converted them in the phrase "easter present".
:::I am sending it in another envelope:::
This short out of place thought is indeed a picture thought moment and Autistic people know what I mean this is a natural short thought for us and only in later life with a bit of luck to do we make it flow in both conversation and in print. There is good chance his motion picture thought here was just like you watching a film strip of a person posting a letter. The modern day equivalent would be a person posting a letter on You Tube. These detailed complicated thoughts are then translated down to normal words. Once we figure out our base thoughts our picture thoughts we no longer do thoughts like this and just simply say the words. This picture thought would have turned OFF his OPTIC vision. He would have watched this "filmstrip thought" via his optic nerve but it would have been brain generated and again our eyes would have been off-giving you the lack of eye contact presentation autistic are famous for. These Deeply complicated and complex thoughts are natural for us and thus why we need to water down our thoughts to communicate with you. Autism Is working down from Einstein not up from MR/DD.
:::if you want more films write for them there are 16 pictures in each:::
I'm sure Alan had more picture thoughts here of each cenema picture in his holder and cenema scope. If you were to have the same thought you would know it as engineering drawing, again were working down from engineering drawing and not up from mr/dd. Modern Autism lost track of that ideal.
::: Wainwright was next to bottom this week :::
Someday Alan would have said, "" Mr. Wainwright was next to the bottom of the class again this week"" after he discovered like the rest of us that in order to communicate we need to water down our thoughts and then 'Pretty them up'. along the way we learn the '99 conversations people have' a conversion factor that converts our invisible to you Autism Picture thoughts to real life words. Since every one of us autistic is self taught we all have our own Picture thought dictionaries. But we all go threw the same basic idea of converting our thoughts to your normal ones. Both print and speech, are equally improved.
Picture thoughts like I mention here are the soul of autism and they have never been in text book before so that makes them VERY difficult to understand. It is impossible for the average thinker to even grasp what it is we do during the lack of eye contact autism thoughts we are famous for. We are in reality using the building block thoughts that compose your normal thoughts to think with. Autism once figured out yield normal thoughts, however these normal thoughts are just watered down 'easy versions' of our normal complicated Picture thoughts. Autism remember starts out at Einstein level and them filters down. The key to our "savants" and the key to our normal functioning adult autistic is simply a few key picture thoughts and those ideals once exposed would add a 1000 chapters to the psychology books and not a moment too soon. I'm sure in later life Alan would have presented nearly normal as he surely would have put a lot of splinter skill insight together to form a few normal thoughts. Once we experience a few normal thoughts we mold of our thought to match. Modern Autism students are generally speaking cheated out of this experience.

For the Record,
Dear Readers,
I have no official connection to the book this blog is about, Alan Turing The Enigma by Andrew Hodges. I have emailed author, Andrew Hogdes a time or two but we have no official connection.
My (Our) thrill and with Alan Turing ,is "he is one of us" an autistic person.Autism before it went designer, became a buzzword and an Epidemic was simply an odd strange way of doing life. Like Alan, many of us went from MR/DD ,group home ,being tutored type of things to being above average in our autism splinter skill areas. We were often on the honor roll one six weeks and seriously considered for special education the next 3 or 4 six weeks grading periods. Like Alan many of us were above grade level in some things and below grade level in most other subjects. By the time we out grew our Autism picture thoughts and learned to work with our never in a text book thought process, we absently overcame autism and even polished our Rain Man Savant skills enough to pass as normal. All of us (200 or so) in a living anthropology all emulate Alan Turing to some degree. We all build n the work of Temple Grandin- author of the book called Thinking in Pictures. Autism all figured out yields normal thoughts and even Einstein thoughts when figured out.
We are on the wrong side of the Autism Time line and as such we missed diagnosis (until later in life) and the resulting curse of being caught up in a flurry of buzzword designer autism passed us by thankfully. Since Autism is BOTH mr/dd and Einstein it is easy to see how modern Autism got a hold of the wrong end of the stick and got an epidemic of GREAT proportion. It is just as easy to see why the old autism people that overcame autism like me, are easily ignored. Not only did we deflate the Autism buzzword empire and its self elected "experts" ,we do so by exploiting our picture thoughts. Picture Thoughts are building block slow motion step by step thoughts that build and compile to form a normal thought just like you use.
Our Thought process as never been in a text book before and for sure I seriously doubt any psychology research has ever thought to study the connection between Retardation and Einstein- I just isn't logical. But indeed that is exactly what we did with our Autism Double blind experiences. Alan's experience is expertly blueprinted by Andrew Hodges in The Enigma I bet Andrew Hodges never dreamed he wrote an Autism book? a manual none the less.
Modern Autism Research and research in general missed the whole point to autism ,life, the building blocks of the mind and even the connection to man in evolution. Autism figured out can explain everything from Dyslexia to stuttering to personality issues. I predict autism really is the building blocks of the mind all figured out. Naturally no self - elected peer reviewed expert has to admit to us. Thus the 'closed loop' of research is stuck spinning its wheels. While we might have figured out man's mind we are too little too late.
Please read over this blog and my others and see how we connect Autism to real life.
My other Blogs are Autism Pre Rain Man Autism ,The Turing Motor and Lockville.

Our Thought process as never been in a text book before and for sure I seriously doubt any psychology research has ever thought to study the connection between Retardation and Einstein- I just isn't logical. But indeed that is exactly what we did with our Autism Double blind experiences. Alan's experience is expertly blueprinted by Andrew Hodges in The Enigma I bet Andrew Hodges never dreamed he wrote an Autism book? a manual none the less.
Modern Autism Research and research in general missed the whole point to autism ,life, the building blocks of the mind and even the connection to man in evolution. Autism figured out can explain everything from Dyslexia to stuttering to personality issues. I predict autism really is the building blocks of the mind all figured out. Naturally no self - elected peer reviewed expert has to admit to us. Thus the 'closed loop' of research is stuck spinning its wheels. While we might have figured out man's mind we are too little too late.
Please read over this blog and my others and see how we connect Autism to real life.
My other Blogs are Autism Pre Rain Man Autism ,The Turing Motor and Lockville.
