Okay, I figured out what I would like to talk about in my first post. This came to me while I was cleaning up my son's room... I really have no clue why, lol.
But I got to thinking about it... and why is autism considered to be so much of a social disorder instead of behavioral?
I ask, because while I was thinking, I realized that if I were to ask questions about why people do this or that, there would be a million different answers... it would be impossible to have one real reason. So if people have so many different reasons, why is it considered so atypical for someone to just not bother because there is no set reason to do it? How can any unwritten social rule, really be considered the "norm" for everyone, and standard enough to test us against for diagnosis, when people are so incredibly different as to why they do things or what they get out of it? I just don't understand it...
To add more confusion... why is it so odd that because of our QUIRKS-as in, physical mannerisms, we are outcasted so often that there really is absolutely no point in trying to get by socially, when so many judgments are based on appearance anyway. I could be the friendliest person ever to someone (and HAVE), and they would just turn around and say nothing to me, or be rude, because I'm rocking back and forth, or swaying (and HAVE had this happen).
So... social therapy, sure, it's a good idea and all, but there are so many things that we do physically that can be seen, that are so incredibly beyond our control, that it really doesn't matter. I would think, that because these things are beyond our control, that behavioral disorder would almost be more fitting, to be honest. As, with a theory, that if we didn't have these behavioral quirks that put people off from us, we might do just fine socially and find reasons to actually try to get along well socially. That, and anything considered a social disorder to me, is just a paradox to figure out when trying to analyze how that is even possible.
What do you guys think?
