Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I'm just guessing, but I would imagine the giftedness has two consequences that can be problematic. 1. It comes together with the kind sensitivity to overstimulation that we know and love so well. 2. It sets one apart from the tribe, which leads to people saying or implying that you're doing it wrong, and all the consequences to your tender psyche that come with that. Some gifted ones can function OK; like in Bill Gates it's not considered a pathology. For those who have trouble functioning well enough, welcome to the wonderful world of western medicine, which rarely gets to root of anything, especially regarding the psyche, so they just classify by highly superficial criteria, many of which are unrelated aftereffects of the core issue. I have this odd, cryptic book I try to decipher every once in a while called Life's Hidden Meaning, by Niles MacFlouer, which goes into exquisite detail on the innner dimensional aspects of life. It has one line about autism, which says, " In autistic humans, the mental brain and the personality usually cannot connect to the etheric/dense physical brain because of damage, usually to the astral brain. " Can anyone make anything of that? Not that it necessarily has anything to do with AS.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 And it is possible to guess the wrong meaning from context too. As evidenced by multitudes of romance books using the term 'the vapors' assuming it to mean swooning/feeling faint when actually it meant the condition of having lots of gas (like after having eaten beans for dinner) Kathy J.
