autism scripting and literacy

[Catherine Wheel]

There is a boy in my class who does a lot of scripting meaning he memorizes and repeats what he hears in videos or from television.He's reading above his grade level. I speculated that he reads so well because of his scripting and the teacher agreed its probably because of his ability to memorize so well.

[noyen]

maybe you should take him out.

[slunken]

Gotta keep em seperated

I have laid more shit on Kimani than probably anybody else on here over his time and i'd take a hundred more of him over even one of you.

[Trotskilicious]

oh he's not as bad as poots now he's just a kid i think he's just son of netphoria, he's not really any different from any other asshole who started posting here when they were 20 all hip to interpol and post punk

[Elphenor]

I've honestly never listened to Interpol

[Trotskilicious]

you would have if you were doing this shit in 2003 when everyone else was

[Elphenor]

I'm listening to them right now. This is not enjoyable at all

[Trotskilicious]

oh i fucking hate it, i've hated it since the beginning. i hate it now, i'll hate it forever. i fucking hate interpol

it's just like the strokes

[Elphenor]

I dig the Strokes actually. But not as this like great post-punk revival or whatever they're just a fun listen that aligns with my tastes just enough.

But Interpol is just really dull at least that's my impression after a few songs

[Trotskilicious]

fucking hate the strokes, the are forever an MTV band to me and that's hypocritical because the band i liked at the tiem whas the white stripes but i always felt like they had one hit song and people are like OH THE WHITE STRIPES SEVEN NATION ARMY GREAT BAND and i'm like THERE'S NO HOME FOR YOU HERE GO GO AWAY THERE'S NO HOME FOR YOU HEEERRRHHHRRR

and then that was also my period of intense listening to the classics of rock. you know the rolling of the stones the zeppelins of led the jimmy of house hendrix the second of his name etc

[Elphenor]

White Stripes are awesome.

I hate how every band from that time was given the "revival" tag. Like White Stripes are "garage rock revival".
None of these genres died or needed to be reborn. Why can't bands just be bands.

[vixnix]

So is this the same as how my ex boyfriend and ex best friend... The ones who hooked up with each other after I broke up with him for the last time, memorized all the dialogue from Monty Python and recited it together? Or is it only an autistic trait in young kids.

FTR the people I've mentioned were 20 when this stuff happened.

I memorized things too, just different things. Mainly Resevoir Dogs as a 15 year old. Was that an autistic thing to do? FTR I was 15 when I did that. When does memorising things from tv shows and movies stop being an autistic trait?

Also I memorised second declension neuter noun form while studying Latin. And also 1st conjugation present indicative verb form. When I was three I memorised my grandparents phone number, is that autistic? Is that autistic?

FTR I have never had an official diagnosis but I did create one for myself based on auto- didactic instruction using internet sources, and some experts in the field have verified that the diagnostic criteria I used was correct and useful and my program for autism diagnosis has actually been reviewed by one of these experts, and as soon as they can arrange testing for it, I will be on the road to being a professional autism diagnoser.

i dunno but lets face it you do some pretty serious categorization

[Trotskilicious]

thanks for all the personal info in that story vix

[Trotskilicious]

although i really love that last paragraph like it basically redeems everything you've ever done because it's that brilliant

[Trotskilicious]

is that for real your old nerd bf and his buddy went gay for each other after you dumped them?

the ex best friend may have been female.

[Elphenor]

I also read it as both of them being male for some reason

[Trotskilicious]

do you know why? because they memorized all of monty python's holy grail

[Elphenor]

Yeah that sounds like something I would do

[Elphenor]

I think I only know one female Monty Python fan and she's a goth chick who's cooler than I could ever hope to be

[Trotskilicious]

doesn't sound like it
