Sondra,

I have a question and hope you don't mind my asking. When you say that

sometimes the words are hard to understand, is it easier to understand if

things are explained in a different way?

My daughter will often say, What do you mean? or What does that mean? If I

go a lot slower and explain each idea using something she can relate to she

then understands and doesn't get so confused and frustrated.

Would that be easier than reading a book on biomedical treatments alone?

Maybe you could have someone read it with you and explain the difficult or

confusing parts as you go? I am sure many people would be happy to read and

learn with you if that would help.

Valentina, do you to be with autism? how did you to be to learn the words

and to understand them enough to do them . I to be to rote back scripted

things but often lack the meaning of them. So I to know I to be able to

share much on things but lack in follow through because I to lack the

knowing of what it to mean in the areas of biomedical.

Many words I can be to read but have no exposure to them so have no clue to

what I to read. Often when others to speak their words might have multiple

meanings and I to be not always able to understand in which way it was

meant. I to be literal and get lost in the concepts. I to not get idioms or

metaphors unless I to be the composer of them. Sometimes my CAPD is way off

and the words simple get jumbled on the way in and it is as though some

words float like glitter in my vision and I to not be to hear the words but

muffled gibberish that makes no sense to me. I to be to just lose interest

in the listening to them, some voice tones to be of this to me too. Simply

cant process the voice tones and some to be some what painful to me and I to

avoid them for their voice tones alone. I to process things better to read

them but do need visual pictures to show me what the words to mean. Like one

could be to describe blue to me but will not process blue unless shown the

actual color. Then my brain gets the concept this is blue. But then for me

blue is always blue and nothing else could be blue except the blue I was

first exposed too.

I to hope this to make sense.
