Need help, Any Journalists. Lawyers, Writers help Aspie

Post Reply New Topic

Hello all. I am hoping I can get some help here.. I am an Aspie and I am in a very strange situation here. As you know Aspies have weird abilities., Amazing gifts and also deficiencies compared to the "norm" in society..

Due to what I feel are weird gifts of my own AND something very odd that happened to someone in my family I am in a position now where I feel I have made some truly incredible unbelievable discoveries about our society. The problem is that, first, these issues are not taken seriously by most people.. in fact they are looked down upon and mocked.. NOT unlike people on the autism spectrum... but then take this weird subject matter and add it to my own issues and I am really struggling how I can get this message to everyone..

What I am hoping is that some here can offer some advice or help me get some help here or out in the non autistic world. I am hoping that some fellow people with similar issues might understand my issues and take me more seriously even though I would just sound like a nut or idiot to others in the mainstream.

The problem is that to really understand what I discovered requires time and a certain knowledge. OR I need help from people with specific abilities that can help me solve the issues I have getting this info out.

I also have the added problem of needing to keep this info secret until I can get it out.. only revealing it to people I feel can really help me and who are willing to be patient and see this through no matter how outlandish it might sound.

Also.. I need to try to get across the seriousness of this.. as unbelievable as this sounds I have never encountered information as important as this.. it changes everything we know about the world and what we believe is real and this effects all aspects of life. To make things even tougher there may be a time element involved...

The people that could help me most would be journalists or writers.... people with knowledge of how to write a research type book... someone with knowledge of law relating to writing something like autobiographies where there is the problem of libel.

Documentary filmmakers could help..

Or if you know any people like this. I preferably need experienced knowledgeable people but you know what they say beggars can't be choosers so not sure how I can go about that.. what do you guys think?

I think you are just going to have to say whatever is on your mind. Some people may be interested in what you would say, some not. Some will believe you, some won't. The only way forward for you is to go public with whatever your idea is and see how it goes. Nobody will take you seriously without knowing what your big secret it. Only a few may take it seriously after you disclose it - but that is more than none by just sitting on it.

I am working on documenting it now.. but I can tell you that I have spoken to a woman who is related to a famous scientist that worked in a related field and she said she thought I was miles ahead of anyone she had talked to on this subject and she said she felt I should write a book.

What I was thinking is that maybe if someone here was highly respected by the community I could try to tell them what it is I have discovered and then they might be able to help find others to help me. .. It would probably be beneficial if they had some kind of scientific background.. but that can be problematic too because of the dogma in these fields too.

But the key is I need people I know are trustworthy.... so maybe everyone here as a whole could help me find someone.

You could try posting something in the Computers, Math, Science, and Technology forum. Not giving away any details you want to keep secret, just an outline or the specific area of science. You need to put enough information out there to act as a hook to get peoples' interest. Without that 'hook' nobody will be interested enough to find out more. Be prepared to face some deep and possibly critical analysis of whatever your idea is though. I have a science background and I've come across some good and bad ideas / theories from non-scientists.

The key to this though is that scientists have put out pieces to this puzzle but no one has put the pieces together... and right now I don't think people realize they are all there.

If something hadn't happened to someone in my family that made me take this seriously I wouldn't have thought to look myself. But then what happens is that when I saw the technical implications and saw how real this was it showed me the societal implications..

And all of it is backed up. If I can just get someone who has the ability to help me to look at the info I have and they allow me to explain it I feel I can prove all of this. But that's the trick...

The problem is that this would be a great fictional story for someone to write.. so I am afraid that someone could try to steal it based on that... and that would create all kinds of problems for me.. there are other reasons it leaking could be problematic as well.

It's tough to help without knowing what it is you're talking about. No matter what it is, as TallyMan said, you probably won't get listened to too much at first if it's as radical as you say.

I am not a scientist. I am an experienced writer (can offer examples if you like), but not a "successful" one so far in terms of doing it professionally (no experience with the publishing process beyond the one gaming manual I very easily had published through the Hex Games company). If you want help writing a book, I can try to offer my assistance. I don't know how you expect anyone to prove trustworthiness via the internet, beyond giving my word that if you want something kept secret, I would do so, though I can't imagine what it is that you know which is so important yet cannot be shared... But hey, your work is your own and it's up to you who you share it with.

I doubt it.

Thank you Kotshka. If I can't find someone who has specific experience in what I am doing, any help would be great.

To anyone offering help I hope people don't get offended if I don't accept. I need very specific kind of help otherwise I will be in the same boat as if I am doing it myself except I will have to explain everything I have learned to others before we get started... I kid you not, to explain everything I have learned and to go over the info I have completely could take a year or more if someone doesn't have the experience in these fields. This is why it is so difficult as a project because of all the info involved and the scope of it.

Also.. you said:

I wish I could convey to you how big this is.. the scope and importance of this is so immense and truly scary that it is why people don't believe it's real...

I don't think it is possible to imagine how big it is without me going into it all in depth.. I mean your interpretation of how big this could be is probably nowhere near how big it is.. I was certainly the same way..

Also.. about the trustworthiness.. if there is a senior member of the board and they have a track record of being a trustworthy person whose opinion would be respected that would be ideal.

Maybe someone in teaching or with a science background or journalism.. someone that knows what aspies go through would be great.. someone open minded yet respected..

I don't blame you.. I probably would have reacted the same way.

I was a total, skeptic to all this before too. That is why this may be impossible to prove without someone going through something like I did..... the same reason why it hasn't gotten out yet already.

That's why I need help...

As other posters have said, without you being specific it's very hard to know what to say, or even what type of person/help you are asking for.

The problem is that we have no idea if your discovery is right or not. There's the possiblity that you may be mistaken, though that's no reason not to pursue a theory to find out. But sometimes people have overestimate their convictions and are convinced that things are more important than they really are. I'm not saying that that's the case for you, but when all we have to go on is your posts here, we can't be absolutely certain.

I'm not quite sure what help you wanted from this forum? People with Asperger's aren't known for their ability to access superior knowledge. There is the odd case of a savant - but that's by far from the norm.

As far as I know there's no valid research or evidence that coud be used to support you by showing that people with Asperger's have special abilities of the type you refer to. You'll more likely have to be taken on your own merits as an individual - your own education and qualifications in the relevant field, and the strength of the theory you're proposing. It sounds like you are making connections with the right people though - so you are already on the right path, perhaps?

On the other hand, you certainly shouldn't be taken any less seriously for having Asperger's, as there's nothing to say we can't be right and come up with good scientific/social knowledge like a NT either.

I'm just not sure what the connection between what you're asking and Asperger's is, or what it is exactly that you're looking for from the forum.

Oh, and don't worry about the mainstream thinking you're a "nut". If you are a genius, then I think it's standard to be thought of as a nut first, isn't it? Just make sure you keep rational and expect disappointments along the way as you work on this. That's the reality of research. If you think it's worthwhile, keep going.

While not wanting to force you to publish all the details on line, I would like to ask what field is your discovery in

Biology
Maths
Chemistry
Physics

or something else.

While I do not want to pour cold water on you, I would like to warn you that before you go to publish. You need to check the literature with care, are you sure that no body else has had the same idea.

If it is physics then I suggest that you check that any equations are dimensionally correct, if you need help learning how to do dimensional ansylsis then I am one of the physical scientists or one of the maths experts here can help you out.

If it is chemistry, then check to see if it goes against any of the principles of chemistry. If it does you need to explain why your idea is right and that your idea overrules x years of experience.

If it is biology then I suggest you check that the chemistry of the idea is sound and that it does not go against any of the core ideas of biology, or at least has good evidence to suggest that your idea is right and the rest of the biological community is wrong.

If it is a social "science" or a "human science" then sorry but I have no advice, other than be aware that in the social and human sciences that they do seem commonly to be more fuzzy and soft than a biological or physical science.

From what people have told me and my own experiences I feel I have an ability to take in a lot of information and make connections others wouldn't.

Aspies have narrow fields of interest.. we tend to obsess over things.. I would think this would give us superior knowledge over our fields of interest.

I view it as an imbalance... which creates weaknesses in some areas and strengths in others.

As for me I am someone who fell through the education system because I was undiagnosed. I feel I would have become a scientist if I had been diagnosed. But I have always had a deep deep interest in science... Because I feel I have discovered what I have I see myself as having a deeper interest in science than most scientists in a weird way. The person that spawned all this was also untrained in conventional science...

My view was that if others outside of our community might shun me because I didn't go through the conventional system maybe fellow AS people might be able to help me in my time of need here...

But in the end I am just looking for any kind of feedback or ideas I can get.. Just bouncing ideas here,,,, Can;t hurt..

Hi Woodpecker.. just to clarify. I want to be clear that I am not a scientist and this isn't something that involves true hard core science methodology.. it's more of a journalistic discovery that involves elements of science.

What I have done is to take work other scientists have done and realized a connection between it all..

If I am right as I am completely convinced I am regarding certain elements of this saga which is far reaching... then true science can start to take place to prove all of this and to continue the discovery process of how it works.

I can't really get into why I want to keep this secret though without getting into the actual issues involved but it's more of a logistical issue I guess you would call it - of getting the story out.

One of the biggest issues I am having problems with is trying to figure out how I can put all this information together and repackage it to get it to others to convince them of what I have found.

There are several books and videos that I need to source but there are copyright issues that I am struggling to figure out.


Also, I was considering writing this as a story but to illustrate to people what is really going on I don't know how to tell the story without using the actual people involved.. then I could/would get sued.

These are the issues I am trying to navigate.. I was actually thinking of doing it as a graphic novel because I am artistic and not a great prose writer... but it's a huge challenge. Ideally it would be great to get some documentary makers but to get anyone to take the time to listen is tough...

Hi CAL_1138, is it anything to do with the holographic universe?

...if it is, I've been reading this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Holographic-Uni ... 0586091718 and it's utterly fascinating.
