The way i look out the window and the way i preceive is in pinpricks - i home in on one patterned fixture after another - a row of metal handles, a wire fence, the rust on a discarded liner container that has travelled the seven seas, the handle of a discarded bicycle, the pattern on the leather bag belonging to a woman getting on the train.
I take a lot in. and i can have a number of pinprick observations of detail coming in at once - but i do not read these as a whole - rather i comprehend them as a series of patterns in a moment.
Overload occurs when there is so much of this, along witt haphazard sound etc. And then when you throw the inconsinstencies of social exchange in a group into th emix - i am well and truly flummoxed.
I construct my relationships with everything - and even with people, in this manner.
I make sense of EVERYTHING like this.
yeah, i completely recognise this
there is a belgian movie 'ben X' about a boy with asperger's
my husband told me after seeing it," this movie zooms in on details all the time", and i only noticed it when he said that, other than that i thought the movie looked quite 'natural'
and you made a good description of it here (actually your whole description fits with my own vision)
