"part of my brain - probably the part connected with memory - neurons occasionally misfire and I experience false memories, or dream memories, or 'lost' memories from an earlier phase of my life."


those who have autism see similar things every day! Bill D.


Dear Bill, Just in case you like to be accurate and truthful in your remarks, I have taken this time to remind you that you far off the mark of being correct. Your statement is neither medically, neurologicly or psychologicly true.

Temporal lobe hallucinations are not an aspect of autism.
Autism has savant aspects in its unique ability to see all the seperate parts of an thing or scenario while non autustics see an averaged out surface of the whole as one thing. The stimuli can sometimes be overwhelming for an autistic be it touch sound smell taste or visual overload. Perceptions being hightened lends itself for others to shy away from autistic people more thatn autistics shy away in a social awkwardness. Severe autism does have social deficits but very rarly antisocial. There seems to a infection that creates so much formic acid in the gut that it causes autistic like symptons of a debilitating magnitude at ages 2 to 5 and causes ongoing damage.

Shimrod when we magnetically stimulate the R T lobe into hallucination test subjects are able to recall their experience. Extremely high stimulus has not presented with amnesia of the event either. Your event may be triggered Temporally but deeper toward the hippocampus, or involves the angular cortex so you are unable to verbalize the event later but can process that the event has occured.

Neurologist and Psychiatrist Dr. Sax has his new book out pertaining to hallucinations of all sorts. One out of 10 or 12 people have the ability to hallucinate as part of normal thinking, the same as some people talk to themselves to concentrate many people are able to "see" outside the box. This is normal for many dyslexics, so normal in fact they don't realize others do not think or see this way. Picturing a triangle inside a circle floating in midair to study its characteristics is as normal for many as drawing it to see it for a more 2 dimensional mind. Hallucinations of all sorts from the normal to the bizarre are discussed. Anyway Sax has just finished his npr book tour so it is readily available.
