Can Aspies be psychic?

Post Reply New Topic

Let's answer the question "Can anybody be psychic?" first, hmm?

That would be a nice theory if other people that are around me also seemed to have a biased memory. So when these thing occur, does that mean everyone else who witnessed it as well suddenly they too develop a case of biased memory?

Fascinating but it's still the same old routine done by people who think these things don't really happen because they themselves don't get it.

It's like the question "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"

I bet some of you get really upset if people don't believe you have autism too. Then you cry about their ignorance on the subject but because you know your life and what it's been like over autism, you get upset when others put you down or claim you don't have autism and recite some mumbo jumbo stereotype found in the media or perhaps even go on about Rainman and how you are nothing like him. Then they criticize, minimize your struggles then overestimate your abilities but get upset when you don't quite live up to such expectations meanwhile they make these claims that autism is just something that goes away. Some even think you just need to be kicked around. Your parents are to blame. Then you notice some of these people are teachers who claim they understand autism and throw out the teacher card then recite ignorant statements.

Those people don't HAVE autism. So therefore you don't either! You look "normal" to me they exclaim because they think autism means you look like you have down syndrome. They are very superficial and if you look cute you are normal. So then they start seeing you as their test subject and set off your sensory issues on purpose to either say "I have power over you" or to disprove you have autism.

Now think about it. How would you feel if you were in my position? Where the vast majority is even less tolerant if you have these abilities and add on top of that autism. You get shoved further into the freak pit.

My theory is Aspis have a greater chance of experiencing psychic phenomena because of differences in the brain.

Well, you know Fnord, savants do exist and many of them are on the autistic spectrum. Some of them are Aspies. I consider savantism a form of psychic phenomena. Are you going to say there are no such things as savants?

Therefore, Aspies are at an advantage for experiencing psychic phenomena than the general population. It's elementary, dear Fnord.

If you want to know if savants exist and if any of them are Aspies or Auties, do a google search

That's just your opinion, Fnord, and that's fine for you but I don't have to share it.

I am not going by the Webster's definition of savant. I am going by the autistic definition- someone who can do wondrous, inexplicable
acts with the mind, whether that be thinking or otherwise.

I have just as much right to call these abilities 'psychic' in orientation as people have to say it's a matter of being a savant since savants do not study. Their ability appears innate and is thought to be connected to their autism.

I'm not a fake fraud or a liar.

This example of lack of empathy right here exists in everyone.

For example when Tom Cruise was bashing Brooke Shields over post partum depression acting as if just mere vitamins would help her.

Then his wife got pregnant and oops, he had to apologize to Brooke Shields because suddenly it hit home.

Just because you yourself don't experience it doesn't mean others do not. So being called a fake, fraud and a liar is rather insulting. What I experience is real and the people who have been around to witness it aren't loons either. As a matter of fact they didn't believe what I was trying to warn them about and did the opposite.
