I'm not autistic...as far as I am aware, however, as you were speaking, I was thinking, "I love her curly hair... look how she's organised her books by colour... should I do the same thing? No, I like my books organised by author... is that a piano in the background? I wonder what the title of some of those books are... I wish I had a door like that..." I can totally relate to what you are conveying.
I think I understand. I tend to absorb as much information as possible when receiving instructions. Of course, then I want to think about all the information and use it in my interpretation. This works great in my work which generally consists of analysis and writing, but it does slow down what others consider mundane tasks.
You said "I think we're just slow, we process a whole lot more than our neurotypical peers". I'd even say, we process way more than is necessary in a given situation sometimes which can make us feel overwhelmed. Does that make sense?
Hey, just doing some lesson planning for two step directions. Searching you tube on the topic and found your video. It was very insightful. Thanks for posting this.
I can handle all the processing so fast if I'm focused.. But Back in my childhood, i used to get lost in my imagination for hours. Sometimes, I feel that i can check the personal informations and the history of people as if i possess their mind and eyes. There are many myths in human psychology and biology.
Which tree, the big one, the small one, the one on the other side of the road, which end of the road, is it a dead end, is it a corner, does it carry on, how long before I get to the tree, how will I identify the end of the road, how will I recognise the tree and more importantly how do I navigate the next part when I've already gone past the tree and continued along because the damn instructions were unclear..
Yah, he's going on with the directions and I'm thinking, which direction do I go to begin with (streets to in both directions)? That direction has a large bush and the other direction has a tree but it's not the end of the street.
I would add that it would be better to record verbal instructions on a mobile phone for example so it can be replayed back as many times as I wish. Alternatively, or in addition to, writing notes on hearing (if you can do so)
I used to hate asking people for directions, I still do but I've found a simple hack which makes it a little easier for me. I focus on repeating out loud every step that they say. In the past I would often end up asking 3 or 4 people in a row (who all gave me correct directions) because I could only ever seem to remember the first and last part, and the last part was totally useless without the middle. 🤣
My kid is shy and filled with anxieties hasn’t been comfortable since nasty kids constantly insulted my child for not talking and inability to talk. In middle school it was hard to defend name calling or fear that they might say something worse constant in fear. Middle school was the same and now in high school there’s a couple of kids that are cool but can't make new friends and the fear is worse due to low self-esteem and tongue tie even when it comes to someone likable. Its destroying his education is there any evaluation or test to determine what the problem it could possibly be??
Fantastic explanation. I work in mental health field and from now, I'll never use the word 'slow' talking about processing or executive functions in autistic people. Thanks from Barcelona!
You nailed my brain Pooky. 😂

Questions like: "What do you want to talk about today" are killing. Where to start?
Thank you for verbalizing it,,, I’ve been struggling to communicate to my friends why giving me directions is so frustrating and it’s been difficult l

Yes!!!
Definitely!! Tend to complicate the most simple stuff 😮💨
I can relate to this so mutch!

You have great Imagination 💭
Such a good way of explaining it. Thanks so much!
I’m taking pre calculus in college and I constantly have to ask my teacher or tutors what the word problems mean.

Yes!!
Funny and IMO accurate. Subscribed.
Really great explanation,,, so relatable , thanks for this video :) it is nice to hear "similar thinker"
How many people are never diagnosed!

"Are you familliar with x ?"
"Do you need directions for y ?"
Wow! Deserves more views!
Wow, it's as if you're describing me. Only got diagnosed with ASS/AD(H)D since a few months, after years of struggle.
