oh dear god who doesnt get this?
have had this every day for entire life,by family,teachers,support staff,strangers etc.
with family/support staff/those who are in regular routine,am only able to process them and interact with them if they say em, __________, and it has to be small sentances otherwise head cuts them off due to information overload,its stupid because am able to post essaes of crap on forums due to having had significant multiple brain injury over the years from head banging-am only processing several words at a time and it wipes out as am going along.
it isnt that am ignoring them,its that am in own world and unable to process anything outside it if am not given clear instructions.
with strangers who are not in regular routine,am not able to process them,and its like they do not exist,again it isnt that am ignoring them as do not like offending anyone.
hate it [u] when they really rant on about ignoring them because are not looking at them,whoever came up with that rule? obviously wasnt an autist who doesnt need to be overloaded with visual feedback when trying to process what people are saying.
