Do you feel like maybe you have these hallucinations as a way to cope with it? I'm pretty sure you can also have delusions and hallucinations in Autism. In fact it would be more likely to have them since we are different neurologically than the common population. Our social lives are dominated by fitting ourselves into certain boxes, and when social needs are unmet it just feels like often people tend to disconnect.
But that may not be the main cause, while social interaction does help with neuropathic connections, it's also important to stay tuned to a structure within the immediate environment. The structure you live in should be adapted to your cultural climate as well.
These are my assumptions, though I am not a psychologist, I am going to be one some-day. People are very attuned to their own natures and this is a given because we are evolved mammals and we all have certain basic needs. That being said, a person with Autism or Aspergers has a different neurological structure, so it would help to be around both people with Aspergers and Autism, and people without it to gain perspective of different behaviors.
I believe often hallucinations can occur when one's natural biorhythms are thrown off. So light exercise such as walking, interacting, and planning help to deal with these things as well.
I explained Autism to someone yesterday and shed a completely new perspective to him. He was saying how people with Autism are self-absorbed because he had a relative with it. I told him that perhaps Autistics obsess and fixate on objects to ground themselves in reality, because without that grounding they would have a "break with reality"....
That is because, I.E. a good example like Aspergers! In Aspergers we tend to have high retention of information and a difficult time filtering out all the information we receive, so socializing with people is very difficult....since people are sooo complex. If someone wrongs us once we can't help but remember it and social anxiety also tends to dominate us.
There is nothing wrong with you Yelaspider. Aspergers is a genetic predisposition or default like other genetic defaults, and since it is so common I also have the opinion it is more "natural" than thought to be, since our environment plays a role in how we perceive and adapt. Memories and ideas pass on, Richard Dawkins calls that a meme: when an idea moves on through-out ones culture and stays. Something like a bias or predisposition can be passed on word-of-mouth but also, fundamentally speaking, these concepts embedded within the very quantum world we live in.
For instance, Archetypes or beliefs (such as demon, hero, victim) in a certain figure are so embedded within ourselves that these ideologies pass on and do not die out. They are embedded in our genetic code. And yet, differentiation is what will promote evolution because being the same is not always that sane.
There is a reason, nature's reason. And while Darwin observed survival of the fittest, that was merely an observation of certain behaviors, not that nature is run to survive by destroying others who are weak! Nature also contains within it the mystery of chaos. There are phases that the universe goes through in order to contain itself, expand and continue to strive.
I believe that reason does in fact drive natural selection. We have a purpose. We will always have destiny. And that everyone has a purpose; diversity is not only important but necessary to our survival as a human race.. displacement ensured that everyone got opportunities, we are the pioneers..
Ok I kinda went off a tangent but I just like to explain my ideas; not many people think as much as me. I have Aspergers too btw I just keep it under wraps since people don't understand.
