Asperger’s in Adults: You think you know the faces of Asperger’s Autism
:00
d_d_t_ is not an attention disorder it's a blindness to the future
0:04
is they might opium
0:05
to the impending future events
0:07
you are nearsighted in time
0:09
which means that the child and adult with a dat are going to wait until the
0:13
future is internet
0:16
and then they will try to deal with it
0:19
but as long as the future stays out there
0:22
i don't have to deal with that
0:24
the closer it gets the more i'm going to organize toward it but i can't really do
0:28
much about it until it's the eleventh our
0:31
and then i will race around
0:33
try to slap things together
0:35
and a half passion and i
0:36
to get it done
0:39
a_t_t_ creates a nearsightedness to time
0:42
so that the person with the disorder cannot organize for the delayed future
0:47
but only to the imminent future but so everything in life becomes a crisis but
0:52
the crisis was avoidable and no one has any patients with this
0:55
because they see this as a moral failing
0:59
you could've chosen to get ready
1:01
but you didn't
1:02
is phrased as a form of laziness
1:05
this layer about me read you well carefree care less
1:10
attitude
1:11
if you could change if you want to turn
1:13
but we know it as the executive failure it really is
1:16
this disorder precludes him from organizing across time
1:21
so you live in a moment
1:22
and you cannot organize very large hierarchically sequenced behavior across
1:27
time
1:29
it means a future director behavior is intentional behavior which means dvd is
1:33
actually ideally
1:35
intention deficit disorder
1:37
i don't seem to be able to accomplish most of the things i intended to do
1:41
you can call that a short attention span but i think attention deficit disorder
1:45
captures that much better
1:46
now the frontal lobes
1:48
the exec system is where you take what you know
1:51
and you applied in your daily life
1:53
it is not where you know something
1:55
it is where you use
1:57
what you know
1:58
the back part of the brain acquires knowledge
2:01
the front front part of the brain put it in place
2:04
a_t_t_ has separated these two like a meat cleaver
2:07
so it really doesn't matter what you know
2:10
you can't use it as effectively as a that people can
2:13
a_t_t_'s our performance disorder
2:15
you can't perform the things you know how to do
2:18
it is not a knowledge disorder
2:20
most people with a d_h_ dino about as much as anybody else from their
2:24
neighborhood with their education and that's cool at that age
2:27
but they can't use it
2:29
not to be here in ny or the degree of effectiveness of others
2:32
so people with a d_h_ deed know what to do
2:35
but they can't do what they know
2:37
one of the things we have known and there are psychology
2:40
is if you wish to treat an executive disorder performance disorder
2:43
the only way to treated is to change the pointer performance
2:47
the pointer performance is the place out there in life we are you should be using
2:52
this knowledge and for some reason
2:57
so all treatment must be at the point of performance and if it's not that won't
3:01
work
3:02
no amount of treatment done away from that place will solve that problem
3:06
only changing that place will solve that problem
3:09
you have to restructure the environment
3:11
to help them sure what they know
3:14
so what does this mean it means a teaching skills as a waste of time
3:19
because they will be used
3:20
skills or knowledge
3:22
and these people are ready have most of skills anyway but even if you teach the
3:25
new ones the likelihood that they will get implemented
3:28
is pretty slim
3:29
i can hand any adult a list of time management recommendations and i can
3:33
guarantee you that most of them will never get used in fact the paper will be
3:36
lost on the way home because it will blow up under the front seat of the car
3:40
and then you'll forget that it's fair or if you do remember that it's they're not
3:43
able to the refrigerator but you won't look at it and if you do you think you
3:46
know i really should be doing those things
3:48
he's a really cool things this is what i really need health and then i'll just go
3:52
about behaving compulsively anyway
3:54
and you'll come back and say you know doctor partly those were great ideas did
3:57
you do the wealth i'm working on a point i find that hard to d_c_ retirement this
4:02
is not the knowledge disorder it never once
4:06
it's a problem with using what you know
4:08
and no sheet of paper corrects refer for mrs
