Because you took people with high, high intelligence, but limited social interests, and now you've made them, instead of identifying, because a lot of Asperger people have high, high intelligence, now you've made them just on the spectrum.
Do you know why?
Losing at a game reminded her it was because of autism she lost. Oh. So she had to work in therapy to change that association. Which therapy? I think the ones with Jackie, that type of therapy. The ones when they came to the house and you guys played games. Yeah.
It comes back to that.
Do you know his list?
It's like 12 movies. He has a whole list of movies that are his favorite Disney movies.
Yes, that was true.
Can you explain that story? Well, just the auditories. Unfortunately, we were on an airplane and there was a crying baby right next to Abby. And we didn't have the right earphones and we didn't have the right plug for her phone. You know, you have to really bring two head jacks. You have to bring the round one that goes in if there's a movie. And then you need one for your phone.
So anyways, it was pretty bad. And luckily we got to switch seats. That's good. Yeah, we switched seats with another passenger. Thank God.
Okay.
That's perfect. I think that's a great idea. That's wonderful. How many dogs are you going to get? I don't know. Or cats, big cats. What did you used to tell me? You said you and Dave are going to have a house, and in the backyard, what are you going to have?
So songs have become language. It's the gestalt language processing thing we were talking about earlier.
Because those are categories of not good, So instead of saying, I'm bothered, that makes me uncomfortable, I don't like this. She put the feeling words next to it. She speaks the memory.
So every number is a color, and it goes up to like, what, 15 or 20 or something?
But he does not have the associative gestalt language processing part. So David is having to learn her Gestalt language processing imagery stuff.
And so it's a little bit tricky for David to learn that. A lot of people don't understand that because he actually has a more clear-cut language. Got it. That's more direct. And so in their autism...
you behind the scenes you see them try he's trying to process it wow it's not that easy for him which is why we want abby we want to honor abby's categories and memories we're not trying to take that away yes that's the way her brain goes boom right to witches eat vegetables that's what happens but we're trying to see if we can't add a bridge where have the thought say witches eat vegetables to yourself but then say i'm upset i don't like this yeah or like for example understand
Okay, now I'm going to just give you the backstory. This is her favorite story. She does it every time she sees a french fry because that's within the cartoon. They're eating french fries. So we're in the Louvre in Paris. There's a lot of statues of naked men. And in the Louvre, she did that. Full volume. Penis!
So she's down in a very deep memory right now. When she was much younger and she had a hard time with language, she used to do just this silly gesture thing like this, which kind of meant she was sort of trying to be funny. I actually still don't quite understand how or why she did it. Only if I was upset or if I didn't get what I wanted, I would do that. That's more of a frustrated thing.
One of the things with gestalt language processors is they use language when something happened. I used this reference before, like if the coffee spills when you're startled, and then you get startled every time you're startled again, you say the coffee spilled. Instead of saying, I'm startled. Gotcha. So it's lived experience is when language comes in.
