How do you learn so much about normal people. Was it hard for you to get all of your social skill's up to the point where they are now? I am have trouble with getting my socail skill's and some of my academic skills up. I am having a hard time with English ,however how did completing different subject's when your home schooled? Did you just do the normal sunjects like a regular school What did your parent's used?? I am amazed about how much imformation you can learn have you just study everything in this world to learn more about different subject's?
I may have a talent for written communication precisely because I have a weakness in the aspects of speech which do not involve words; words and sentences are all that's involved in writing, and I've learned to use them to compensate for the non-verbals at which I am much more clumsy.
Same here. I often have to ask my NT friends what they mean by..... It's like they can be verbally vague and I'm supposed to intuit what they intend. But I can think of multiple possibilities, so I want to know for sure what they really intended. Maybe the non-verbal channel makes it clear, but not for me.
NT to spectrum... Come in spectrum....ext_332603November 24 2010, 15:31:43 UTC
Consider available channels should make it easier to send the desired message.
Brilliant..Honestly I don't know if or what my husband's diagnosis might have been. We are both in our fifties and the menu of choices was significantly more limited and subjective *(stubborn, non-communicative, odd etc) when we were growing up. I have noticed that when we really can't communicate...emails and texts make it possible. When the miscommunication gets really hurtful, our best strategy is to have an electronic conversation. In many ways my connection with our non neurotypical children has really helped me help myself in a relationship that can be very challenging at times...I've learned not to go to the hardware store for bread.
I believe you got the details of the analogy off by 1 dimension in the beginning part though. A note would be 0-dimension like a mathematical point is. A horizontal series of notes, although arranged on a 2 dimensional musical staff, would be a 1-dimension line, etc.
I'm not trying to take away from the wonderful insight above; I'm just pointing out an error that I noticed. Great work!
Hm, yes, I suppose; I was thinking of a note as having duration, but a point is probably a better model than a line; and duration would be a part of rhythm anyway... good point.
