Your Vast Inner World, Part 1

Note: This is excerpted from a book I am writing for Autistics and those who work with Autistics. The book is designed to help Autistics personally, as well as help to educate the public on the many benefits of Autistic individuals.

Introduction

Autistics and geniuses are often accused of being in their own little world. This is usually said as a derogatory statement, as in “he is off in his own little world again.” The truth is, our own little world is a vast big world. If they could see what we see, they would be amazed.

Most people do not realize that for an Autistic or Genius “your own little world” is actually a VAST, BIG WORLD!

Autistics such as you and I have always known that our inner worlds are vast, because we explore these vast worlds all the time. Yet most humans do not experience these same worlds.

It took several years for me to understand that most people do not see what we see. They are not accessing or creating these vast worlds. Therefore, they do not know what it is like.

Most humans do not experience these same vast worlds. They have no understanding, no reference, of what it is like. Therefore we need to first acknowledge and fully understand what we have in our minds, and then be able to explain to other humans what our vast inner worlds are really like.

When other humans finally understand what our vast inner worlds are really like, these humans will appreciate us much more. They will appreciate us for our thinking abilities, and encourage us to think more, rather than trying to take us out of our worlds.

We will be much happier. We will be much more satisfied and fulfilled. And humans themselves, the human society in general, will benefit more fully from what goes on in our minds.

Vast Detailed World

Introduction

Autistics and geniuses do have a vast inner world. It is quite vast, and quite amazing. Regular humans do not have these worlds, so they don’t understand. It is time, therefore, to explain what it is like.

Our Vast Inner World

Inside our minds we see Galaxies and we see Photons. We see Atoms and Electrons. We see electromagnetic energy and the processes of electrical current. We see all this in great detail.

We can see these things with great clarity. We explore these galaxies and atoms. We can turn them in our minds, we can add pieces to what we see. We can run “programs” where we watch certain processes in action.

Some autistics and geniuses hear detailed symphonies, and sometimes they actually see the notes before them. Some geniuses can actually see mechanical parts in their head, and manipulate them in their mind.

The particulars depend on the specific individual’s interests and natural gifts. Yet in general the worlds are the same: richly detailed, vast, full of color or sound, with and lots of regions to explore. This is what our Vast Inner World is really like. 

Exploring the Vivid World of Oz

Imagine the entire world of Oz in your head. All the vibrant colors. All the details. All the regions to explore. This is what the vast worlds are like in our minds.

If you could enter the rich world of the Land of Oz, like Dorothy, wouldn’t you want to explore it? Of course you would! And that is exactly what we do. We explore it. Humans often say we are “lost inside our heads”. In reality we are exploring this vast, richly detailed, complex world of Oz.

That is where we are in our heads. We are exploring some amazing and wonderful things.

If You Could See What I See

If you could see what I see, you would be amazed. If you could see what I see, you would understand why I enjoy being in my inner world most of the time. If you could see what I see, you would say “go for it” when I am in my inner world, rather than being condescending and tell me to come out.

If you could just see what I see….

This is why we must not only explore our inner worlds, but communicate what we see to the general public. This is why we must also write, paint, draw, articulate, explain, show….so that the public can see and hear exactly what we see and hear.

As Autistics, Geniuses, and Starseeds we must show the world what we see. We have a gift for seeing some amazing things in our minds. Therefore we should not only explore these places, we should also show the outside world what we see in our inner world.

We write books and articles.

We draw pictures and make paintings.

We create inventions.

We educate and give presentations.

We use our words – written and spoken – to convey detailed images. Some of us write music and give performances. Some will see a better future for a community, and work to make that future a reality.

Each of us will use our soul to convey the passion of what we see, and we will use our specific artisan skills to communicate the specifics of what we see.

If you could see what I see…then you would understand why I am so often in my head.

Let me show you what I see, in all the ways I know how.
