It seems more or less commonly accepted that many, if not all, autistic brains employ a visual form of cognition (referred to as "Thinking in Pictures" by Temple Grandin). I am very interested to know if this is really the case, so 'Are you a visual thinker?' will be this months question.

If you are not sure what I mean by being a visual thinker, the best description I have found is that given in the following article by Temple Grandin 'My Experiences with Visual Thinking, Sensory Problems, and Communication Difficulties'. The bit on visual thinking is about half way through so you might want to just scroll down to it.

Once you feel you know if you are a visual thinker or not, please answer the following question...

Are you a visual thinker?

I consider myself on the autistic spectrum and I think YES...
I consider myself on the autistic spectrum and I think NO...
I consider myself neurotypical and I think YES...
I consider myself neurotypical and I think NO...

I hope to write an article for this site about visual thinking within the next few months and would be grateful for any ideas or information people have to offer. If you have any examples or comments about the subject you would like to share then please e-mail to contribute@aspergerinformation.net

Aspergia

A beautiful site that redefines Asperger's Syndrome. No explanation I could give would do it justice... see for yourself.

 

 

Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical

Sadly, ISNT isn't a real institute... It is a parody and a humorous look at what it describes as the arrogance and foolishness of much medical research on autism. A must read for all Aspies... absolutely hilarious.

 

 

The Autistics.org Website

Resources for people on the autistic spectrum, with some interesting links and articles, but I love it for the Autistic Pride Virtual Greetings Cards and the Autistic Liberation Front.
