Re: Autism Breaking The Pattern Video

[Guest guest]

Hi Phil,

Wow what a great vid...........my daughter is on the spectrum, yet she can be

very profoundly self-aware at times (does that make sense?). A couple weeks ago

she said " Daddy, there's something wrong with my brain, I don't think like other

kids. " She's 8, by the way. I reassured that different is definitely not

" wrong " and I see the difference in this video for sure. Yet the gulf that

separates her from " NT " girls her age is all too apparent to her, sadly so.

Keep up the great work, Lee

Phil you are of the first true NT person who got into teh world of

autism so uniquely and so correctly. I to be of a pattern girl all of

life. If not for the patterns would not be of able to connect to the

world at all around me. they are my sources of navigatioins to the

human world outside of self. no ine ever explained what goes on in my

thinking as well as you.... thank you so much for doing this.

I to be fo a water sifter of my hands and can do this for much of a

bath time and it migh seem of like nonsense things to the outsider

but to me it is of art. In my speakings/book I to say, " I to see life

as art and see human kind as poetry "

I to speak about the crystal world a world that I to felt safe and

loved to be in and embracing before became of school age. once of

school age it was very evident I to went to a frustrated girl who was

of not able to do well among the human world and was seen as

ressistive , behavioral, and things of this, but it was of so strong

a fear because that world did not make of sense to me but the school

work at times did because of the patterns not because of the internal

intellectual awareness of things learned. so it didnot bring building

blocks intelectuallay or cogntively for me. being locked away much of

life due to these needs for patterns to survive my world was ripped

from me over and over and left me empty . I to often wondered if was

nderstood and supported as a child what gifts were of being born with

in me and extinguished away from em fro lack of support and care to

me in them.

I to also be of to know of a young severely autsitic young girl who

was of also blind, a very gifted child to music. but she too would

sit on the play ground by her self and sift small pebble stones. I to

often wondered of it because for me it was of a visual play and art

but for her she could not see and so I to wondered of it and not

maybe think it was the music she heared in this too.

this si of why when people want to extingusih things in us I to tell

of them to make sure they understand what they are of extingusihing

because it migh be of that childs only way to communicate or learn in

this life....

the only things I to add is that parents need to make sure their is

of a good healthy balance for the child to connect to the world in

this way of art and patterns and then of to also learn of ways to

connect and be of social in fashions that reaches the human world

outside of us for success in that life too because if you leave us

always into the one or the other it leaves us not balanced and

gaining from both parts of our lives. If we are forced to leave of

our world to join of you own world yes so much does it destroy things

within us thatothers do not understand and it does impact our

outcomes over the emotional states of us, but if we are of left to

self endulge all day and every day into our own world and no tbe of

requested to join of the human world we can lose out of other life

gifts of people. not all people will be of good for us but some will

be and if we do not connect to the human world we lose out of knowing

those who will be of good for us.

again thank you for having this gift to see our perspective in such

profound ways and have of the words to match and explain it to others

in ways they can get of it about us with autism.

Hi Sondra,

I love reading your descriptions of how you experience the world.

I'm kind of new to this group and look forward to more. You help me

to better understand the children I work with, and how to help them

bridge the 2 worlds.

sky gal thanks so much for the words to me. I to wonder waht sort of

jobs yo do and also noted you are of new. it isof sad that new have

come to this list in the midst of a few who are of struggling to

communicate and connect to various views. some see things one ways and

others see things differently. I to think they need to learn of the

elephant things and the blind men...... this might help if they were to

all rotate and see the issues from different angles and perspectives.

I to just woke froma short sleep and then woke but need to get of self

back to the bed and try of to find sleep again or will be of the grumpy

teary eye girl in the AM.
