Re: One way to unravel the riddle of autism

Hi Tink,
     That is kind of what I meant.  Temple, herself, stated something to that effect.  i remember her saying back in 1992 that she thought the supposed severe individual with autism, with sensory and movement problems might eventually fall in the category of some type of palsy.  Of course, I don't have it written down but that is how I remember it.  At the time, she also mentioned that Donna Williams experiences were not the same as hers.  Does she still feel that way?  I don't know.  I know she has a book out about her sensitivity to animals.  I haven't read it. 
     That said, I do believe there is a crossover and nothing is set in stone.  Possibly it is because both groups have sensory issues that affect their behavior.  Obviously, I am just forming correlation's with the limited sample of individuals I have worked with.  For example, the Temple Grandin type is often very upset by a change in routine.  They other type are actually quite flexible in my experience.
They go with the flow if they trust you.  As I've said before, I really don't know anything for sure, and we all agree on the complexity and uniqueness of each individual as well as stereotypical behaviors related to the syndrome. 

Take care,
Mary Ann
