Autism; a severe condition that develops in the mind of young children, in which the psyche attempts to contact the external nether planes of space and time using alphabetic chants and whistles.

Seems normal enough to me other than the disproportionately increasing volume and noisy vision. Damn kids, always being unnecessarily loud, high pitched and nonsensical.

Those of us who have trouble focusing on the task at hand can be considered to have something in common with the autistic. An autistic person has an even rougher time of it, since everything is screaming at them. Even in a quiet space, everything is a distraction.

There are the obvious things, like screaming kids, barking dogs, noisy cars driving by, an unexpected hug from a parent, but then there are some other things that even in a quiet room can invade an autistic person's personal space. A lump in the paint on a wall. A pencil that looks like it could fall. Your own heartbeat, or the urge to blink. All of these are as annoying to them as sitting on your nutsack is to a guy.

Autism is a sliding scale, not a hard-defined status. Everyone has a little bit of difference from other people, in how loud each of their senses are in the brain. An artist may see colors as bright and vibrantly as a normal person hears a live death metal concert in the front row. The most innovative chef could have taste buds so sensitive that he can tell what kind of peppers were used in a dish where only a trace amount was used in a large volume of soup.

These days, most autistic people end up living on the internet. I suspect it's because they can control exactly how things reach their senses. They share that with many Asperger's people, agoraphobics, obsessive-compulsives, and control freaks.

Have you ever started a video, and are startled because your volume was craked way up because the last video you watched was too quiet? What if every sound was this loud and unexpected?

Did I beat the game? I got onto the carousel and it spun me around until it launched me way outside of the playground contained within the forest, then everything was OK again.

This isn't really accurate, and it very definitely only covers a fraction of the whole of it, but...

but I'm not sure accurate is possible in this medium, and it seems like an honest attempt.

Just not a very good honest attempt. So credit for trying, I guess?

I don't think it's even possible to make an accurate version of it, nor do I believe that there's a need for that kind of thing. It's the same thing as violence. We like it in movies and games where they are kind of cheesy and cartoony, but show us the real deal and we'll be "Oi man, no cool. Fuck you." all over it, unless we're talking about some depraved psychopath who jerks off to it.

As for what this one achieves, it genuinely made me run and hide in a corner where no kids were around, after freaking out 2 times in a row by them (first I only had a small dosage of them so I didn't know how bad it can get at maximum). So even if it's not accurate, I think the reaction must be real tightly close to the real thing.

Unless of course you try and break the game >_<

It got me frowning from bad memories, so it has at least some accuracy for me, and I'm only autistic when it comes to emotion and natural pain response. Wind tickles, clothes of any material or size itch all day, 72 is too cold, 74 is way too warm. I've gotten over actual pain so much that what hurts normals doesn't really affect me if I focus on it.

But yeah, bad memories.

But then, we can never truly know, because no one has temporarily had autism, and then explained what it was like, this is merely based on research I assume

...plenty of autistic people talk about their experiences. You don't need to experience 2 things, you just need 2 people that experience different things to compare notes.

Speaking from personal experience, it's very difficult for those with Autism to actually explain different things, especially on the emotional side of things. I know that I never really understand my emotions, or how to explain them to others. The same is true for trying to describe how things make me feel, how I feel in certain situations etc.

So in a sense, he is correct.

I always find myself without accurate words to describe what a thing is like in my mind. Especially emotions.

I do find that my emotional strength scale goes from 1..2..9..10. Comparison to you, Dvalkass?

Not that accurate because the kid has auditory hypersensitivity also, so its not just autism at play.

1 decade ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Auditory hypersensitivity is a sliding scale. If you hear things louder than you should when compared to averages among people with no hearing loss, you have it. You don't have to be autistic, but it usually comes with autism. With kids, it can be hard to tell if they're hearing louder, or they're just reacting to it more severely.

Imagine if you're a musician and all amps are set to maximum. You're not playing louder, it's just being overly-amplified.

Well, at least I learned I don't have autism from this video(assuming it was remotely accurate). That's one thing off of the "things that are (potentially) wrong with me" list.
Hey, is there an Asperger's syndrome version. That would be real useful. :D

Haha, I'd like to see one, though I believe it's much more vanilla. By the way, depression can make symptoms kinda similar to asperger, and also hypchondria to some extent. You never know before you let someone professional diagnose you.

Go read a bunch of Socially Awkward Penguin memes, then crank it up to 11.

Now, remove most of the ability to know when someone has stopped listening to you, and remove the ability to recognize what emotions other people are feeling.

Keep in mind that Asperger's is also a sliding scale. Still, it doesn't hurt to get checked out.

Even if you aren't deep enough into the pool to require professional assistance, you can benefit from reading about symptoms and non-drug therapy for various mental disorders.

Well, I am sensitive to light, and smells but not so much the hearing. I find it difficult to focus on things if there is lots of noise, or difficult to focus on one conversation if many are going on around me. However, I wouldn't depict it anything like in that video.

I like how you're trying to tell ME what I can do...

Comment has been collapsed.

I'm telling you part of what Asperger's Syndrome is defined as. I could tell you "I know how you trying to tell ME what I can do..." since we're both described with the Aspie label.

Please realize that not everyone will have every symptom you have, and therefore, you won't have every symptom that everyone else has.

Also realize that Asperger's Syndrome is not full-blown Autism. Asperger's Syndrome is Autism-spectrum, but not full Autism. Take away an Aspie's ability to function socially, and you're farther down the Autism line.

And third, realize that the speed that you jumped to the conclusion that I was telling you you're wrong, is indicative of social ineptability. Aspies usually fail at this, and need much more practice and care than the neurotypical.

My name is Harry Mason. When I approach the featureless children, my vision gets garbled, the radio turns into static, and talks like a child reciting part of the alphabet. I am surrounded by impassable walls and have no way out. I ask around for my daughter and suddenly get mindfucked by child demons.

I see what you did there! Nice semblance by the way, I didn't notice that in the beginning. So Harry Mason was autistic, and so was his daughter. James Sunderland was suffering from PTSD and other guilt-related mental illnesses, and Henry Townsend was just an extremely introvert stalker with delusions who refused to move out of his room.

And I guess Yahtzee was right, the protagonist of Homecoming was Sonic the fucking Hedgehog after all, living off of meth rings. The game is about when he ran out of them and the addiction kicked in.
