Post Reply New Topic

This is the slide show version of what I talked about yesterday in my video!

This is a much better presentation for people who are more visual, esp. those who don't know the full criteria.

you are a true gem.
whenever you post a new vid on WP i get excited to see what you have done.

thank you for being here and thank you for being you, whitetiger.

(raises claw hand in air and strikes wtih GRRRR.)

This book review does not move me to go out and buy the book.

I'm a fan of the vid, not the book, on this occasion, Inventor!

One simple problem: most of the social interactions of people with AS in person are of the one-sided and verbose type, which is talking about their interest on and on without knowing if it's wanted or not, with the lack of appreciating and understanding of nonverbal cues like in Autism.

That's all they pretty much have socially. Plus simple scripts and the ability to partake in basic mechanical interactions, of course.

The depiction in the video displays pictures of things that can be Autism, i.e., the lack of social reciprocity in Autism is usually ignoring people (the picture you have), rather than the above description.

The criteria themselves need to be applied to the accompanied text for it to be accurate.
