The Spiky Autism Profile

[Black Rose]

I saw a video on the new IQ test called The WAIS-5 coming out in September 2024 - An IQ score is invalidated if the difference between two or more indexes is more than a standard deviation on the WAIS-4 - The video said the new test has a profile of Autism with processing speed and working memory at a standard deviation below the other two indexes. I had an IQ test done and wm and ps in my profile were 2.66 SD below the other two indexes. The profile I found when searching for (Autism Spiky Profile) perfectly matched my scores.

The consequences of this I have not figured out yet but thought it was interesting.

You take the blue pill you wake up tomorrow like nothing had happened, you take the red pill, and I show you how far this rabbit hole goes.

It would be interesting to know if INFJs can be autistic.

Because that would be a contradiction as both have their stereotypes.

INFJ's super-understand people.

Autists super don't understand people.

Female INTJs are not feelers but they are not men either.

Male INFJ's look like them, but I can't tell you what I am on the outside only on the inside. - inside I have a strong Anima

The statement still stands

Matt, Matt, you have to understand this. Here we are today, where I talk out against drugs. And psychatric abuses of electrically shocking people, okay, against their will. Of drugging children with them not knowing the effects of these drugs. Do you know what adderall is? Do you know ritalin? Do you know now that ritalin is a street drug? Do you understand that?

No treatment for autism exists, I get that.

But what does the profile mean?

I am slow and can only remember so few items at once.

Yet I can do great at understanding language and doing spatial tasks.

I heard that central coherence is important to drawing and video games.

This is weak in me.

My cognitive control is high, I break down problems into small steps to get them done but it takes time.

And people are emotional, they do not seem to consider logic well.

I track things to a main point.

I get overwhelmed sometimes and act childlike.

There is a problem with other people I don't seem to be able to put in words.

I have to tolerate so many things that people have often called me very patient.

Sorry I don’t really feel like writing very much, are you an enneagram four by any chance? This could very easily be you in the throes of a type 4 fixation as that typically tends to do with feeling defective or flawed in some way and spending lots of time and energy having that as your focus.

I am not really sure what you hope to find out exactly, I am sure there’s nothing really wrong with you, but you seem to want to add labels on to yourself hoping that will solve something.

I honestly don’t know what you are hoping to find out, you could test your mental facilities I guess but if they haven’t ever caused any problems then I wouldn’t really focus on it. And also trauma can cause all kinds of issues, that can even affect your mental processing abilities.

There is honestly little real evidence for a biological underpinning to mental disorders like autism. Sure you could label yourself that but would it really change anything, most of the time they just use the DMV or whatever it’s called, to make a diagnosis.

Since mental illness doesn’t really have a strong correlation with a biological underpinning, it’s not somehow like your very capacity at thinking or how you take in information and respond to the world around you is biologically flawed. Besides that do you really want to give weight to an ideology that basically labels some people as being biologically faulty? Psychiatry has a really brutal history if you were to look into it. Besides why would you let greedy out of control corporations dictate on what a supposed healthy and sub optimal functioning human being should be like?

 

[SteppeWanderer]

Really I think you have resigned yourself to the proverbial blue pill, because you would rather have another diagnosis so you can add to your list of problems you can’t do anything about so that you have another reason why you can’t do anything about your problems. I am not treating to sound mean, but you talk a lot about your problems. I’m pretty new here so I don’t want to reign in on your parade or ruin the mood but I’m just saying.

I encountered this before where no one had anything meaningful to say.

All they did was ask what I was hoping to discuss which is just spam in my opinion because they are adding nothing to what I have said. Making me do all the work.

So you too add nothing but want to blab about it for some reason?

The thing is that these are the real numbers so they do mean something.

What Google told me was that I have weak central coherence but strong cognitive control.

Looking into what those are they are not "labels" but actually real things.

Central coherence is good for drawing and playing fast video games (this is weak in me)

Cognitive control is about analyzing situations and finding the right thing to do. Breaking big problems into little problems.

My sister is the opposite, she has strong central coherence and weak cognitive control.

So I have come to the conclusion that what I have problems with (working memory and processing speed) are explained by the same reason I have issues with not being good at fast video games and drawing.

I will look further into what neurological mechanism is involved in fast vision systems and what makes it possible to break down big problems into littler ones.

I speculate the practice has a huge effect on this.

But also the control of eye movement.

Focusing on things may also play a role as when you react to things you need to be ready immediately. My eyes wander when thinking because I am not focused on anything. People with good vision are ready for anything at any moment.

When I am thinking I need to hold onto a single idea to work with it.

Not sure what brain part is happening to hold ideas but I will find out.
