why do only scary hipster witches like me

I've only ever seen pictures of you with asians
 
I would GLADLY take that anyday over self-destructive nymphomaniac

why do only scary hipster witches like me

same, dude
except they're not really scary, just literally children. just think of them like bugs or something: you're much smarter than them and could prob. crush them if u wanted,,, just don't let them crawl through yr ear and into yr brain where they can cause damage

People who are classified with Autistic Spectrum Disorder tend to communicate metaphorically rather than with common phrases. It is currently not known why they can do this, although they also express other abnormalities from level 1 and 2 psychedelic experiences.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphorical_language

what the hell is this? I've never heard of this. Is this one of those wiki-edit things?

Like I could fathom the speaking only metaphorically which is interesting as shit because you'd think it would take a higher level of communicative intelligence and understanding of language but what does the last part mean? I dunno it just seems kind of backwards to me that autism is supposed to be a social developmental disorder but you have an illness that can cause people to speak entirely in metaphor. Well I guess its just as possible as some of the crazy mathmatical stuff they can do and I know there are some that do it with art too like drawing NYC in its entirity from a single flight over the city. But with language something that is directly related to communication and social skills, how the fuck does that work? Have I been trolled or am missing something?

actually I was thinking about this I guess a lot of savants have synesthesia like that Pi guy sees the digits of pi as psychedelic Lisa Frank landscape (I'm not joking) and if that isn't a way out there metaphor for numbers I don't know what is. And 'they' (forgot who actually) think that the same crosstalk has to do with people thinking metaphorically like creative people are creative because they have extra wires  so they're all like 'dogs are like butterscotch ripple ice cream' etc. etc.

And uh I kind of think that artistic/autistic people (get it? conspiracy) are like opposite but maybe like autistic people have like huge bunches of wiring in their left brain while artistic people have too much wiring in their right brain. And people like the Pi guy who should be a vegetable that can just happen to recite pi instead is halfway normal/capable because maybe he has extra wiring in both. Also too much wiring in your right brain makes you some halfway crazy artist while autism is supposed to be super-literal. (like sensitivity to sound could be because they're hearing literal changes in volume? Meanwhile normal people have a kind of compressor in their brains that makes gunshot not incredibly deafening but loud enough) But yeah metaphor isn't thinking literally (or is it?) I guess it could be for creative problems or literal/math problems, either case it helps to have extra angles of attack/ways around a problem (the extra wiring thing). So if it helps you to see Pi as tasty colorful rainbow bryce landscape that's cool

also maybe autistic people are like creative on the inside like I said creative brain circuitry angles to solve problems, but can't project/express said creativity for shit. Like everything is literally mind-blowing but then you forget it or no effability to it and therefore Sonic the Hedgehog is fascinating. Also maybe some deeply autistic person sees life as a cubist painting (Cubist Reggae??) but has no ability to describe things/put it to paper etc. Conception vs. expression, outside-inside. Sociopaths outwardly look like normal average people. Obviously we need to give autistic children deep pineal gland massage because it's the link between mind and body, input and output. Autistic people already had the DMT in their heads drop that's why they like crappy techno music

they're hella fuckin interesting and i'm kinda jealous/astonished of the idea of a mind that sees the world all the time in a novelty way. this is vain shit i know but i have to work a lot to remember/feel these things despite some advantages. also isn't it kinda known that lemme think, uh was it autistic people who can't just compress/filter information so they get into a familiar room and they see BAM 36 pens, groan 2 of the pens are blunt groaannn who did this...must sharpen it- GROANNN THE TRASHCAN IS MOVED... what an useless post with some/little real facts but search around what i said here.
hmm. hmmm. no-joke i try to be creatibe/do something useful with the rest of the post. lemme think. okay.

FAAAAAAARTTTT!!!! *squishy, juicy fart!! splurrrrt faaaarttt *cackle cackle cackle fart FART FART, it's armpit farts with failures! sorry i got diarrhea and i had the idea of filling the rest of the post meticulously described progress of events/like a movie time-event relation of howhat farts i did and when. but it wasn't so funny and i lost to steam IMMIDIATELY, this limp dick...

edit i actually got a little diarhea today to my pants which is like SUPER-RARE. i guess that influenced this post of the day. hmm. you know, ASSOCIATION. ... stares into spaces... hmm but yeah i don't usually have that. really, never. it was suprising but i was smooth/no problems occured/no love lost. yeahhhhh. that's all folks!

editedit i'm still pissed with the vain/stupid jealousy, i have to clarify, i just like the idea of brain constantly wired into permanent NEW EXPERIENCE okay. it'd be incredibly useful to an artist/to an ragnar. harumph, stomp, throws head.

+edit+ sigh, i'm sorry about mentioning the diarhea. diarrea? well like i know you guys don't really mind but i started thinking that well, maybe it's still not okay. it's a little disgusting even if it's just a one case. pondering: is a person mentioning diarhea once in sw disgusting or is the person who constantly updates on his hellishly loose bowel movements weekly/daily accurately? maybe there's no distinction at all but i kinda don't want to believe that....
nah, no, well america is america and us is us but but idk. yes actually YES, i'll agree that mentioning diarrhea once is bit unnecessary (i mentioned twice?). it's diarrhea, not your regular bowel movement right? so it's not easy to just casually throw it in a familiar circle, no? since it's exceptional and even if it's a freeminded/marxists intelligents even lenin would support his bones on... it's still exceptional and it's something that gets... well, i'm not entirely sure but a little over the recognition/lenience/friends-people u know and who are okay in u books radar?-

yes, the last one is perhaps the most correct expression i was looking for.  friends-people u know and who are okay in u books radar. i doubt even in this area being a casual bro about something exceptional - i mean you COULD pull reg. feces off with good bros but maybe not diarrhea! yes, excelent, THAT'S my point. so i guess the bottom line is that don't worry, it's nothing serious and very easy to manage that situation (i was smooth/quick, he came from the bathroom window/anny are u okay he left SHITstains on the carpet (III DONNNNNT KNOOOOOOOOOOWWWW ahhhahaha))). i'll never mention diarrhea again so casually/graphically. thanks for pludging through this strange uh humanmade... byte...swamp? wondering in quiet respect/astonishment the scale of the swamp, the beauty of it etc, nature-trekking. maybe uh i should put a reward of sort at the end of this? check out the song the associate by associates from utube. maybe it's the proper atmosphere to the post.

same, dude

ahhaha fistpump. Thanks  Tut, Gramps, Choom Gang, and Ray for all the good times.

metaphor is thinking literally but conveying in a non-literate or alternative manner. its like saying something indirectly. Its used in alot of poetry and musics.

MY AUTISM PRIMER. WOW:


fyi i'm diagnosed autistic and it's really hard to explain more or less. like from a young age i was really exposed to lots of abstract cultural concepts so i haven't had as much of a problem with that even though i have to place literal places or objects onto abstracts. in this regard i can associate various locations and events with emotions and concepts which has made it much easier on me in a lot of ways. but one of the things also is that being hypersensitive and actually having an idea of how to express yourself through some means makes the world really confusing and scary if you have to explain it to others since most people think i'm overreacting/talking about nothing. so it almost ends up being pointless anyway, if not a bit worse (at least in the case of telling other people). these days i have one friend who lives with me and we do stuff together but otherwise i'm pretty much a recluse who only goes outside at night usually(only time downtown is quiet/the light doesn't hurt my eyes).


but yeah i can remember stuff very clearly going back to 1 1/2 years old, and can remember the layout of lots of buildings if i try to map them. i associate everything with these memories or other narratives so i have built a kind of ever-shifting memory palace to form a character around. i have handled autism a lot differently than most people i know so it's always confused people a lot but it's a very strange experience. like i have spent most of my life teaching myself various skills and reading a lot on various subjects but i still feel entirely clueless. i can write music, program, draw okay, etc. but it all feels like some sort of imaginary systematic tool and that's about it to me. the process of creation is interesting all around but i have a hard time with trying to understand things on objective terms or even actually caring about finishing things. on top of this one of my favorite things is using new materials and certain textures/"feelings" that go along with them and that makes it hard too since my work usually becomes overly dense or i can't finish it because i don't feel there's enough variation with materials.  but yeah the thing is that for me even though i've had an easier time than most it's still hard to express on terms most people understand.


btw i like techno music/tracker music/ambient/noise music/other weird repetitive electronic stuff because the sensation that certain sounds give/the physical response of having a beat in my head is really comforting. so i hope that explains it somewhat at least for people who wonder about that stuff lol. i don't really know what else to add but if anyone wants to know stuff about LIFE AS AUTISTIC WOMAN let me kn-

GAAARGOOONHEEEEEEDDD*gargonherd shrieks as purple orangutan leaps out of nowhere and strangle-hugs, bonzi bwaahhhahhaaa's as gargon is screaming & freaking out in his long orangutan arms* basically yeah that's pretty interesting + cool that you open up about it!! so uh by new favorite things, do you mean you do some kind of actual/physical material compositions/collages with different materials or do you also mean like music by this? i still have to get my mind around what you said in your post exactly but i kinda understand (or lol relate) with music and using textures/atmospheres/feelings since they cause a physical shift in me.

i was diagnozed with dysphasia at the age of 5 i think? because my speech developement was coming slow and i talked in a language that only my parents understood. idk if wikipedia/internet has stuff about it (i never checked) but as a short description: you might have heard about dyslexia in which eg talking might be compromised/crude and written comprehension is much worse? well, dysfasia i guess is... problems comprehending things in general? like the way i perceive on abstract level is different/more complex or difficult. idk, my dysfasia was luckily just slight so people are usually suprised when/if i reveal this about myself. i saw a TV program with some harder dysfasia and i could really emphasize/recognize my problems in her. there's lot of interesting cases about it esp in my childhood (since on many occasions adults were about to give up with me/try to send me to school for handicapped and my parents had to fought for me) so i can tell you some examples of my goofy childhood if interested...

but i kinda dunno if they seem special?/if they are anything special. this is kinda hard to explain (not so hard as your thing though) and for the most part of my life i'm left wondering that what things this has and still affects me or has shaped the way i percieve things. i apparently created word onomatopoetically (sp?) (like make up words that sound like THEY SHOULD BE/sound "natural") in kintergarden because that's how it felt right (thus only my parents understood me perfectly). i still kinda do this but i'm pretty smart so it's either really unnoticable or that i don't actually need to create words since i know...everything by now u know?? i also uh have to search for words a lot sometimes which is kinda noticable if you know me for a longer time and the feeling is like trailing around this unseen object and your circling around it blindly possibly sticking unto words that onomatopoetically are similiar. there's just a huge layer of learnt cultural stuff and language that i can use effectively so it's hard to tell where the problems are sometimes.

idk, then there is stuff like seeing certain kind of colours while listening to music (i think it has to do with tone/timbre/texture of the music and it's certain colours against black backdrop...or like uh colours... a colour fill/blot/shape against a black space? a certain kind of space that can be filled with colour also to a certain extent? sometimes i've seen new colours but those are rare/makes me wonder how tightly this is related to association). the sound of space/texture is pretty important to me for some reason and i focus a lot on it. my whole first mixtape (and the second one to some extent) was based around this task of trying to shape my musical history and focuses into a singular mixtape with cohesive narrative (based mostly on how the song sounded, that specific mp3 and version/rendition of the song) of how the tone/atmosphere/musically the emotions change thorough the journey. in retrospect, it seems to be less about musical history and interestingly more of a shape ... of things to come??/whoops i mean that uh shapes of how i perceive music, pinpoints it. whops sorry enough of my mixtapes.

listening to elliott smith was NUTS for the time being because i could physically feel the chord progressions in his song (man Sorry My Mistake is a pretty good example, i could tell in which direction in 3d space it moved) so obviously i'm pretty interested in them.

then there's the just actually comprehending music differnetly... man fuck i mean i comprehend LOT of stuff differently but i feel like a fucking freak/outsider when talking about music which makes me miserable lot of times so i actually i think i'm musically/abstractilly?? closer to Ragnar even if our musical preferences and focuses are totally differenet/opposite in many ways. it's hard for me to talk/bring up music because of this. it just seems...faux or false or faux-artisitic when i'm just sensitive to this stuff and i get really depressed/sometimes physically sick listening to eg hipster pop indie pop because i can't stand some of the elements/values in it. i could talk more about the latter issue more indephtly but i'm not expecting any empathy or aggreeament on it and tbh it feels fuckign disgusting sometimes because of how people react hostily on talking bad about their favorite music (and perhaps about their musicality? idk). sorry, enough about depression/self-pity stuff.

idk man if i start listing all the stuff i might find some patterns/actual clues to dysfasia but most of the time i have no idea what's going on and why i'm thinking/working the way i do and it's kinda depressing in how different/sometimes alienated i feel with it. esp with music it's sometimes hard. i can't discern my life experiences and music experiences, it's too hard and feels like hurting myself. sorry i'll shut up now.

edit prompted me to finally read about it, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_language_impairment. Yeah, i kinda need exact directioning because there's so many ways to misunderstand/mistranslate what the others mean. exams/essays are like hell. this is kinda interesting, i need to study this. i'm still puzzled how much this could affect since language/logic/reasoning/music or whatever logical or social systems probably have some common root/foundation.

i have spent most of my life teaching myself various skills and reading a lot on various subjects but i still feel entirely clueless.

you and me too broman, thats cool as shit though you were willing to share that with us. Thanks.
 

btw i like techno music/tracker music/ambient/noise music/other weird repetitive electronic stuff because the sensation that certain sounds give/the physical response of having a beat in my head is really comforting.

you mean like some kind of instrumental mental metronome? I kind of do the same thing with melodies. I keep em in my head and they repeat over and over and over until I either lose interest or get tired of it.
 
to me it seems like you're just as capable of artistic expression and portrayal as anyone else. You just have a unique way of what and how you're doing it maybe? I'd prolly have to see what you're talkin about to fully understand though. Because like bonzi said its a little hard to visualize.

you're pretty awful to swoop in like that and dish out the hurt before locking the topic, dada. are you sure you're ready to be an admin?

I wasn't calling vel a hypocrite. she's not here to express any opinions. I was pointing out the issue with SOMEONE ELSE'S POST you stupid ass.

it's kinda funny, we all sort of had a common enemy before. ed's always been like that, you've always been like this, I've always been like this. gave us something to identify with each other over...maybe drule really was the savior of SW. actually nvm you were usually on his side

you were literally calling out her objections to inri's posts based on "you also like a misogynistic song" and now "you also like this other website which is misogynistic"

only that first one was a response to her, and the point wasn't to call her a hypocrite.

the second post, that was not my intention at all. in order for that to be true i'd have to know exactly why she left, and I don't. YOU have been saying it's because of misogyny, but that's you.

now you're angry at me in the most juvenile way possible because I'm not running the site the way you want me to. yeah, you know what? I'm pretty willing to explain myself and my actions but you can't always have it your way.

lol no you aren't. and juvenile, really? you're calling me juvenile for being upset that you accuse me of some awful shit and then lock the topic with a smirk? you're being pretty fucking awful to me, and for no good reason. is that how you handle power?
