I used to see stuff like that all the time, and had a heck of a time trying to explain why her answers were not the right answers. I ended up telling her that everyone sees things differently.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 This left me with my mouth hanging open because it just SCREAMS autism -- so bizarre! brought me a page from an activity book that was 'find the differences'. He looked at the title, looked at the two pictures, and found 3 differences just like it said...BUT THEY WEREN'T THE ONES HE WAS MEANT TO FIND! He was supposed to find: a different tail, a stripe missing on one tiger, and one was smiling while the other was frowning. What he found: one whisker slightly shorter, a crook in a vine barely (but still) different, and a rock in a slightly different place. Just amazing. He totally missed the big stuff, and found these little things nobody else would notice. Amazing! Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Sigh. Yeah, I guess having a propensity to find very minute differences that weren't intentional, and missing the big, obvious ones, is a pretty autistic trait, huh?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 Jacquie: Very funny actually. But when I was little I used to find the big differences you were supposed to find and the little differences you were not supposed to find and it did bother me very slightly. But 's way is much stranger. Salli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2001 Report Share Posted December 19, 2001 >Just amazing. He totally missed the big stuff, and found these little things nobody else would notice. Amazing! That is the typical autie way, huh? Good for you, . I like this kind of thing. I like it when Madison finds such interest in a little piece of plastic. It's like she sees the things we miss. Granted, they miss a lot of what we see, but who is to say that what WE see is what matters, or that what WE notice is the right stuff to notice? noticed 3 differences, just as he should have. Curious.... would he agree if you pointed out the big differences that were intended to be the right answer? Last night, Shaun and Madison were both rustling a piece of plastic next to their ear. Plastic pieces from the plastic wrap to wrapping paper. Rustle, rustle.... I walked in on them, and just watched for a moment and asked, " WHAT are you doing? " Of course, Madison just looked at me, but made no reply. " I'm listening, " says Shaun. " To? " " To the sound of plastic. " " I can see that, " I tell him. " WHY? " " This is kinda cool, " he tells me. " Here, you try it... it sounds different when it's this close, " and offers me the tiny piece of plastic. I just looked at him. Well............. at least HE is verbal. Grace _________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
