Throu the eyes of Autism

After research into the visual distortions, depth perceptions and other sensory problems of Autistics and their perpective of the world for the MA i am studying, I have created a quick slideshow which imagines and portrays how MY severely Autistic daughter MIGHT view the world © angiemation.com

I don't wanna be mean but, it looks like she's high or something. I mean I don't think that people or kids with autism see things all blury like that. Nice vid. though. :)

i have autism. but seriously come on is this really how severely autistic people see the world. i mean it seems kinda weird. youd think they would get dizzy with all the blurryness.(i think thats how you spell it)

@confusion66666666666 - its not literal - read my description

NOTE To Viewers: See all the odd features that an autistic eye gazes at, while missing the people right in front of them. Now you know why autistic people don't recognize you. It is the biggest challenge in existence to look another person in the face and eyes; more so the focus is on every shape and every color and every texteure that is around. So easy to see the environment around, so hard to notice the people in it. Ponder these thoughts...

This is incredibly accurate. I used to perceive the world in almost exactly that way and I still do to a lesser extent. To me the 'blur' is just a way to explain the attention to details the 'zoning out' of everything else; the blur isn't literal. Great job! Obviously it can't account for all autistic people because of the variability of the spectrum. While NTs may not come close to understanding autism, we cannot come close to understanding what it is like to be NT.

@eScential - Yes I do love her - thats why im trying to understand how she processes everything - nice if the world is perfect for you

@alisamakora Yeah I have already noticed that some people are taking this portrayal literally -which it obviously is not - we all view the world differently - and learn in different ways - I have stated clearly it is just a representation of how overwhelming things may be - but there are plenty of people who have taken the idea and recreated it - so I hope it helps to raise awareness and people consider what I have written on my idea - which I created over 4 years ago -

Undiagnosed aspergers as yet but this is very inaccurate at how I see my world. There is no blurring at all, it's more like everything is on the same frequency and just as bright as everything else. It's like a camera constantly scanning and zooming in on details and everything is 'waving' at you saying 'look at me,look at me!!'

i feel disoriented and confused...

it's metaphorical...not meant to be visually accurate...but many thanks for your comment :)

[goddabest]

no, not 100% accurate, true they focus on specific things that other people overlook or dont even know about. The blurred vision is not true.. the perception is more like center an object, or thing, view or something else (a house) and the rest is a little blurred or less focused.. thats all, the various blurred pictures make no sense... is she visually impaired? no
