: : I also feel drawn to you and to what you offer here on this message board .......in fact, I've gone through the archives and read just about everything you've sent.
: :-) :-) :-)
: :One thing I'm really interested in is a comment you made a while ago....Autism is a different way of seeing this one(meaning the world). Do you think that autistic people see the world in the same way and that "other" people see it differently?
: "Normal" people see the world in the same way as each other, I think. Autistic people have a shared way of seeing the world, but I doubt that it's exactly the same because many things like sensory anomalies vary from autistic person to autistic person. But when it comes to the key things (the ones I haven't yet found a way of describing), then yes, we do make sense of the world in the same way. It's only with other autistic people that I've ever felt "here is somebody from the same planet as me"!
: :Because I think that each person has a unique way of seeing the world.
: I'd say that each person is unique and has a unique perspective on the world in that sense, but what I'm talking about here is information processing.
To Autistic and proud Thanks for responding so quickly...I really appreciate it. With regard to information processing....do you believe that the way a person processes information is a fixed state or could that be changed through diet,or through auditory integration therapy or through movement and music? I ask this because Francesca was singing (in tune) at 18 months . David and I are singers and we communicated with her that way where ordinary speech didn't work. When Cesca listened to music she would show through her movement that she could distinguish pattern and form. .....In Feb 1999 we changed her diet to the GFCF (Gluten Free Casein Free) diet(with supplements from our naturopath)......within a month she began to do jigsaws and to draw(or get us to draw) faces....it was as if a veil had been lifted from her eyes. What do you make of this?
