Autism and Visual Thought
"I THINK IN PICTURES. Words are like a second language to me. I translate both spoken and written words into full-color movies, complete with sound, which run like a VCR tape in my head. When somebody speaks to me, his words are instantly translated into pictures. Language-based thinkers often find this phenomenon difficult to understand, but in my job as an equipment designer for the livestock industry, visual thinking is a tremendous advantage. "
http://www.grandin.com/inc/visual.thinking.htmli got this paragraph from this website. i myself feel that autistic people each have their own way of understanding and translating. I feel that this is sort of like a gift that they have, something like spatial ability. So even if they are autistic, they still can understand what we are talking about, and can tell from right to wrong. Autistic people SHOULD be treated as normal people!!!!
