Self Discovery of the internal thoughts

If you were watch me think, watch us think, young autistic people before the curse of Rain Man (espcially so) we would have been very odd. Our eyes would have never made contact with you but every once in awhile but they remain open and sometimes look up and to the right. (where some of our internal picutre thoughts appear).  This lack of eye contact is a buzzword and a defect, in contemporary autism and the out right signal of perfectly functioning autism in my book.   This is where old autism people like me, learned to look at discover and use and build upon our internal thoughts. While our eyes were OFF our brains were thinking with its own intenral thought system Temple Grandin called thinking in pictures.  In simple terms our OPTIC vision is shorted out, and then our brain display daydreams we think with.

Learning to think with those minds eye picutres is a very different process. Our teachers never knew we were doing anything more than ignoring them and not paying attention. In reality we were by happenstance teaching our selves an internal thought process most of mankind has never knowingly used. None of what we were doing was being taught to us, Our teachers never asked (they should have been able to) if we had a still or a motion picutre for that type of thought? They never were able to teach us projection thoughts, they allow us to become social and keep eye contact. They never knew to tell us to read our picture thoughts ,turn on the optic vision and check for the body language of who we were speaking to. In short they had no clue as did psychology  we were in another ball park inside our mind going back down the tunnel to the inner workings of the mind. 

Some years ago I seen a National Geographic Magazine (1960's edition) and it featured a cave person cave with drawing on the wall. I INSTANTLY seen the picture in the magazine as a  picture in picture thought an intenral thought that builds on Temple Grandin's still and motion picture work.  Was this a First grade class room chalkboard from centuries past frozen in time?  The caption described it as a dinner order and how to kill a buffalo for dinner.  Other autisitc like me mention the same picture if they seen it and it was just as stunning to them as it was me. Keep in mind we were all ignorant of each other and speak many different languages. If we are right and this was an internal thought process explained on a chalkboard it would mean the cave persons were teaching the same autism thoughts we self taught ourselves to their young. 

Once psychology sees how these internal thoughts play out they will also see how normal thoughts you use and know came to pass as well. Normal thoughts are streamlined autism ones. Normal thoughts are not much good at true thinking as they are already shortcuts. This why man has never been able to solve the big puzzles in his life, including the mind.  The really, really deep ones that make us Einstein have never been in a text book before but, might well have been on the cave wall.

I first knew I really different in Kindergarten, I was spaced out in picutre thought (didn't know it) and was Deaf and Blind as my internal picture thoughts developed or tired to.  Oh Yes, when we are picture thinking ,during the lack of eye contact we are in effect deaf and blind. Our Optic vision is indeed off as is our hearing. Our hearing goes into hyper mode and we only hear the slighest whisper or odd noise or the loudest scream during this time. Thus that gave rise to our keen senses. Blind people often are noted for the same keen hearing and indeed seeing the same picture thoughts we do. Once we heard the whisper, r odd noise our Brain Dropped the Picutre thought and allowed us to use OPTIC vision and normal senses to see if were going to get ran over or needed to move etc.

After awhile you get really good at bluffing your way in conversations and you discover Humans only have '99 conversations' and once you learn them and their patterns you can participate in almost any of them. When your picture thought is finished and you normal optic vision and senses return you find the conversation has moved on and you naturally learn to 'fit in' . As we really learned the lack of eye contact thoughts, we no longer needed the' 99 converstions'. 

Other big discoveries were Picture-in-Picture thoughts, Projection thoughs, they allow us to keep eye contact ,catch a ball, drive and more. 3 and 4 deminsion thoughts make us Einstein. ALL of these build on the work of Temple Grandin  who wrote Thinking in Pictures.  Of course contemporary psychology and autism don't know they are dealing with the keystone thoughts of the mind and in essance ignore Temple's stunning work. They certainly have no clue we build on her work and since this all new news and peer review is clueless to oue real achivement we remain hidden like all great discoveries in plain sight.

  1. This insight into turning off your optic vision while you think in pictures makes so much sense, our son is often "gone" from the room and I can repeat his name and sometimes he says "what?" in a dreamlike state a couple of times before he actually hears me! Amazing.
