Are Words Nonsense Or a Different Language To Autistic People?
Visual thinking creates imagination in many autistic individuals. Many think in visual pictures to help them convey and process their words. To some people they believe this is nonsense, but it is a helpful tool to realize, words are a different language to autistic people. Due to this fact, when they see things in terms of words, they view them in the form of pictures or images. Therefore, when they read or hear sounds it becomes translated into pictures, which helps them learn and communicate better, connect their messages and create new ideas.
