Being autistic or having autism
Thinking about the relation between autism and identity.
The last few weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about the difference between having autism and being autistic.
When I first started writing about autism I talked about having autism primarily because there are more searches for the keyword “autism” then for the keyword “autistic” and I wanted my [...] -

Twisted toilet habbits
10.22.07 | Permalink | 4 CommentsAutism causes some problems with feeling the need to relief myself. (A somewhat graphic description.)
For years I’ve had this annoying habit of having to go when ever I left for somewhere or arrived somewhere.
In my teens I didn’t think anything about it. I just did. At times my mother would get very angry because of [...] -

My first lie ever
My (little) problems with Theory of Mind (ToM).
I have a theory. My theory is:That you too have self awareness.
That your knowledge differs from mine.
That you think about different thinks then I do.

Well, actually it isn’t [...] -

Two methods to fail at everything you try
Over the last forty years I’ve found two ironclad methods to never succeed at anything I try.
The first method, off course, is good old procrastination. Just don’t start at anything that could lead to some kind of succes.

Allowing for mistakes (Drawing: Towers)
A botched experiment
This was supposed to be the fourth part of my five part series about drawing a dark color around a lighter one. But the fourth experiment was something of a failure.
I was curious whether it was possible to draw on top of the hair spray I use to fixate my drawings. And if [...] -

Difficulty in taking advice (drawing: Tentacles)
07.03.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsYou should do…
I’ve never been very good at taking advice. People would tell me how to do something and I’d try my own methods and they would call me stubborn for not taking advice.
There’s a lot of advice floating around on the Internet about the best methods to get a lot of people to visit [...] -

The movies in my mind (drawing: Color fountain 1st sketch)
Thinking in pictures
One of the strange things of discovering that you have autism is that you get to meet a lot of experts who tell you that you have all kind of problems you never knew you had. Among other I’ve been told that I’ve problems concentrating. When I’m doing something it could very [...] -

Why auties don’t represent themselfs (drawing: Nose mountain)
Joel over at “NTs are weird” writes a lot about why auties don’t represent them selves. That was one of the first questions I asked the first time I visited the Autie club in Rotterdam (in the Netherlands). This club is established and run by Neuro Typicals and although there are some auties on the [...]

Cul de sac (drawing: Topographical face final sketch)
It took several sketches before I realized that there was something wrong with the way I use my colors. I make parts of the face darker that should be lighter.
