Episodic memory thoughts.

- Part of Abbey‘s autism is related to how she learns language. As a Gestalt language processor, she’s very affected by memories and often speaks in the memory based on the feeling she had the time of the memory. We are working to help her honor her memories, but add descriptive feeling words in Communication. I learned to understand that memories pop in Abbey‘s mind at random so always trying to help make connection to topic and what is happening in the current moment. @AbbeyRomeo #abbeysautism
Thank you for this video. Helps me to understand a brain that has confused me for my whole life. I have this kind of memory too. It is difficult.
I’m so thankful I found your channel last week. My 5 year old daughter, Amy, was diagnosed with autism last year and I was told she’s a gestalt learner. She has a fantastic memory, she’s so happy and outgoing. I’m learning so much from you! Thank you for these videos!
Abbey is an awesome human she makes this world a better place.
I love Abbeys confidence. It’s obvious that she comes from a family very interested in making the world a better place for her, a family that doesn’t try to mold her into what society feels is appropriate. I wonder what it would have been like to have a dad who wasn’t critical of me, who didn’t treat my meltdowns like the fit thrown by a brat. It silenced me for years and years.
I know a little girl who often struggles to remember what was said a few seconds prior, but remembers the faces and cars of people she hasn’t seen in years and can identify the jacket and water bottle of every kid in her class. I can always trust her episodic memories. Thank you for sharing your splinter skills, Abbey!
Good to see you again Abbey.Your smile makes the flowers grow……
Thank you so much for sharing all this information It is so important to know how autism works and how it can be balanced I also have like thoughts that come into my mind while I'm speaking or even songs and I have to control that sometimes and so with autism I can imagine how much more but it takes time I'm sure and Abby I am so proud of you and thank you thank you for all you're doing for so many people with autism Big hug to you
Abbey, your love for life and willingness to find your happy place, is going to be a HUGE blessing to others on the spectrum. You sharing with the world allows everyone to see how you handle yourself with your spirit for life your courage, joy, willingness, understanding and most of all love, that you find in this world. Many people will be helped and supported because of your passion for life… ❤❤
Also, Hey you have a really sweet boyfriend. David makes us all happy for the both of you.
Gosh this sounds like my son! He has a genetic disorder called SETD5. He has the worst short term, but his long term is amazing! I will have to ask his pediatrician about this, it may be a more specific diagnosis than just "communication disorder".. Thank you for posting this!
Fascinating.
Abbeeeeey!!! Woot Woot! Ya-ooooOOOOOOOO! :)
Abbey, you look beautiful in that shade of blue ! 💙🩵💙 Thank you both for sharing your daily life w/ us. I wish my memory was as powerful as your Abbey. I have such a hard time w/ memories. I wonder if there is brain therapy to help remembering.
❤️
One thing I am becoming more and more aware of from watching this channel's video is how many of these "traits" are overlooked and unmanaged in higher functioning autistic individuals. I'm likely a level 1 with many things but over the years have become level 2 due to the negative affects the lack of support has had on my well-being and life. I struggle through every day and have no job, hobbies, friends or family. It's all just about managing basic needs and responsibilities. Anyway, what I mean to say is that if you're higher functioning in terms of language and can "get by" in conversations without it being obvious that you are autistic, there are many thing that you might really struggle with that no one focuses on. I've spent years learning from level 1 autistic individuals and many of the things I learn from this channel I never hear mentioned on those channels. I love that Christine and Abbey talk openly about these things so the world can learn, both us autistics and everyone else. There's so much still to learn and unfortunately it's not possible for many to learn from psychiatrists. I got the autism diagnosis but their way of handling it was very superficial (an in many cases dated and outright wrong) and what I learn I learn from other autistic people willing to share.
thanks for sharing your experience.
I have speaking in memories like you said but also singing words/talking song lyrics. Does Abbey have that too?
Yes, sometimes she sings a certain jingle based on a feeling that jingle means to her.
@@Christine-Abbeysmom wow i thought i was the only one. I never see many people talk about it
I’ve never seen this us show.
I do this but not on spectrum. So..
You don't have to be on the spectrum to have speech disorders. Just like if you're on the spectrum you don't always have a speech disorder. There's a reason it's called a spectrum it's more like a circle which some parts of the circle are blank for those on it they struggle with those blank spots and it's different for every autistic some have multiple blank spots and really struggle others blank spots or dark holes not just fuzzy gray ones. I wish there was a better way to describe it so that neurotypicals could understand
