humans behave, humans learn

despite exciting new research humans are more and more capable of conducting, we know little about brains. when i witness a brains potential, for example it's ability to create new ways of communication... or develop new understanding of an environment from entirely different processes, i feel weak. the power involved- if it took to any other form of organised energy would suffocate you. in autistics that haven't acquired language, the interpretation of the world is alien to us. that is not to say they do not have an alternative understanding. an autistics neural network is "wired" differently; different areas have dominance and higher activity. these are no less complex. if therapists turned their role around - tried to learn their language - by first understanding what expression of communication comes naturally to the patient, then teaching them our verbal language would be much easier. we have just as much to learn

a deep end lesson
i see the same misunderstandings between humans and all other humans and for this matter, all other life on earth. when we reach a goal we reuse the process of how we came to accomplish it. this is a form of language. this is a piece of evolution. to reach understanding between people, who by all observable indications cannot relate, we must confront two aspects. the obvious communication barrier and our individual cognitive development -guided by different processes for integration of the same information. this is as true for autistics on the spectrum as it is true for people of different cultures, generations and interests
