But our brain does not automatically go "Hot Pink is a girl's color, and boys are notorious for wanting cool things, so the bike is probably the girl's. This level is often where autism "fails" to automatically provide appropriate context: We may focus on the fact that the boy (for example) has blonde hair, while the girl has bright red pigtails, and the bike is hot pink. They might immediately see from the way those things are arranged that thy boy stole the bike from the girl, and go "What an asshole". But there's a higher level of context as well, one that further contextualizes "boy's face", "girl's face", "bike" into a scene: Just as we interconnect single pixels into objects, those single objects get interconnected into a bigger picture as well - by non-autistic persons, at least. We see a picture, and we can contextualize is insofar as we group pixels into "this is a boy's face, this is a girl's face, the boy is holding a bike" (and so on). Just like the program doesn't do context on any level, autistic persons do it only on "low" levels. You see, there is more than one level of context, more than one layer of meaning. Now, you'd be right to say "But Muesli, I understand what boys are., this isn't helpful", and I would say: "Bear with me."
"Boys" or "cute" is something that needs more context to be understood than a simple. You only can tell it to capture certain color levels in a set of coordinates. You can't tell Photoshop "capture all the cute boys' faces in this picture". Your image program does not understand what it shows, it merely processes on a detail level. This is how your computer then shows you the picture: By simply giving each pixel coordinate the color specified. Every pixel has a coordinate and color associated with it.
It's really difficult to make this clear by text alone, because with text, I'm already contextualizing by omitting details, by necessarily putting what I do write in a certain order (which implies importance) and even by using certain words instead of others.īut let me try an example: Digital pictures and how they work.
This also means knowing which "magnitude" of context is appropriate to apply, which details you can discard, and which are important. "The big picture" usually means arranging the details in a context that creates meaning. Most people would say that person is riding it because they can see the big picture but someone who pays attention to the details would be saying what clothes they have on and what color or what shoes they have on and what color bike it is and what they have on the bike and also say what else is in the photo like cracks on the ground or what is in the background. One last example I have here is someone shows you a picture of a person riding a bike. Seeing the details would mean you are only paying attention to what is on the shelf and what the items are but you might not realize you are looking at a bookshelf because all you see is the stuff.Īlso another example of paying attention to the details is you notice mistakes in movies they make or you notice errors in a article or notice a word being misspelled most people would miss because they were not paying attention. Seeing the big picture would mean you see the bookshelf and the stuff but you don't focus on the details. I think seeing the picture means something like this:
