Drawing the pictures in my mind (Drawing: Joking)

by Henk ter Heide on Friday April 20, 2007

A few days ago I learned that the pictures in my mind are fragmented. I only see details of objects but don’t see the complete object. So I can see the handlebar of a bicycle, the wheels, the pedal and the other parts of which a bicycle excists, but I can’t see the bicycle.

That shocked me. For a while I didn’t know what I should draw, what I could draw.

This morning I realized that I had made a mistake. I didn’t want to learn how to draw so I could draw my world. I wanted to learn to draw so I could draw the pictures in my mind. Those pictures aren’t fragmenten. Only pictures of real objects are.

I remembered a joke I wanted to tell someone, but didn’t tell.

On route to my work I noticed something funny. But when I was about to tell a collegue I realized that I didn’t have the words to tell it.

Autistics have a thinking process that’s much more visual then that of neuro typicals, (which begs the question how neuro typicals think but nobody seems to be able to tell me :) ), and as the saying goes: A picture says more then a thousand words. The problem I faced was that I didn’t have those thousand words.
