There are instructions there? Gawd!! It just never ends :oops: :cry:


Postie! We could submit a research paper! It just has to pertain to autism.
I think your ability to do numbers but not math is an aut-ism. It's definitely some type of -ism. Which makes it research worthy. Jethro D. Bodine was a double aut spy if I remember correctly. Maybe it was naught. Probably ought to be naught. Maybe it's ought-ism(s). So there's numbers involved. Or non-numbers. Maybe even imaginary ones. So statistics can be collated and made up. Lau can do the math since you just do numbers. I'm sure we could get grant money. May be even able to prove what we say. They'll probably pay us to start a regular guest column. What do we start measuring? Duck tape and string are probably essentials.


CHUCK! You are hilarious! You can't be serious!

Sorry! I hope I didn't offend you because you were being serious and here I am laughing at it.

NO! Now I get it! I hope you WERE being serious! And it would still be hilarious. And probably good research, too.

But, I would really like to go a bit further: We need to do a couple of studies and publish The Traists of the Autistic Spectrum Researchers & Psychiatrists. Don't you think it's about time the tables were turned?

Can't you just imagine going in to one of those places to participate in some AS research and exchanging questionaires and pulling out your video equipment to tape them taping their interview of you?

Wow!


HUMPH!! See Wit he reversed my saying, "I don't do numbers, but I do the math". I just have to kind of a heart to let Chuck know he's deslxic like I am. But he is a better speller and all of my bad words I can't pin to the desxlci thingy or however the hell you spell it.

See that's why one must always have mad duck tape and string with you, you just never know when you need to do things like string theroy. I tie some around my finger to remind me of something, forgot what. Maybe to tape the video equipment that is using tape to tape you. It's very simple, really.


Dadgum! Sorry Postie! I dis-remembered what you do and don't do! The list is long - I need string theory to remember it. Now, doing the string to remind you to tape the video equipment that is using tape to tape you duck taping a duck to examine the psychiatrist's reaction could start looking like a mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror, in a mirror ...which is kind of like fractals, and Lau does those as well. So we could do Dyslexic Autism Spectrum Researcher Psychiatrist fractals as pertains to Godwit's Muffin Questionaire. This is important research that could lead to some theory.

Well Alan, this is a little bit beyond my comprehension skills.

BUT. I think the important thing is that you and Chuck and Lau could do it, and I bet it would be really good scientific research, with outside-the box design and execution, and brilliant analyses. AND I bet it would be fun to do and funny. A great combo.

I just think that the bit about the duct tape and the string will have to be kept very well hidden inside the box, or the NT world might object. Maybe they wouldn't. But they might.

I say we start applying for grant money immediately. Preferably several billion dollars. We can divvy it up amongst all the members, and then research how it was spent by us members in the autistic spectrum, and thereby best determine what our needs were and can thereby infer and extrapolate what the needs of all people in the autistic spectrum are. (Whatever we spend it on is most is what autistics need most by my reckoning).

I think this is called "research with teeth". Directly applicable and measurable, ipso facto, irrefutable. And non-refundable.

Thanks, Chuck. This makes it much clearer now. You've got this down pat. Tone, nomenclature, everything.

Want help with the grant application? I've done tons of those.

There's just this one little thing that's bothering me. Postie isn't just dyslexic, he's at least at level 2 of this terrible diontonic.

Yes. Postie is certainly at least dylsexic. Sometimes I really feel sorry for the yug.

Yes, of course. Many hands make great soup as they say (fractalized psychiatrists). Don't worry about Postie's dyslexia. It's a sign of his genius. Lau has it too. His real name is Ual (pronounced as "owl"), Merle is really Elrem, Blessedmom is Momdesselb, and Nan is ...er Nan. My name is unpronounceable, like the artist formerly known as Prince's symbol, so we just call me Chuck to simplify matters. His dylsexism is a matter for later research.

Nine hours of artificial light exposure! Researchable! How do you feel, and are you now, or were you ever dyslexic? Answer green or red.

My God, woman, it only seems like a bit more than a third of a day since we last corresponded. 9 hours? Really?

And now that i know you got it, another CARE package is on the way.

Question: How in the frak do you pronounce "Cau Dy wyneb a Ffwcio dy ewyrth"? Anyone got a phonetic spelling of that for poor li'l ol' monolingual me? (To quote Spider Robinson, "I speak American and English, but I can get along in Canadian in a pinch.")

I'd love to help with the empirical research on what Aspies need - in fact, I can supply two data points, as I'd also get what my Kanner's daughter needs! :)

I say Jon here gets a billion in research money just for being able to type the above sentence, which I also found as an explanation in the "troubleshooting" section of my computer manual for the problem: "Who do I call if my computer crashes?:".

Godwit,I like your blog here.I hope you will be posting more,they make me laugh aloud,(which scares the cats and my Bf who is most used to my scowl),but some sacrifices have to be made in the interest of literature,so they will just have to learn to "deal".

What I thought...god has the wit of the other males around here ... and some defiant women who I will not name again!

Chuck, I do not mind if there is some feeling against NT's here; in fact I can understand it. AND I know Jim would disapprove of my signature. AND I am being nasty. AND you are right that it could stir something up. So I will remove it in a few days. AND (taking a breath) you are a wonderful role model for us. AND if I feel bad I am doing the wrong thing.

I hope you are well, Blessed Mom. You have had a rough time.

Ah-HA! A figment! :D We may need to include you in future research as to whether or nor autistic genius figments are dyslexic.
