This graphic was created with the idea to present in a simple and clean way the difference on the diagnosis criteria between the 2 versions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders...
First of all, just the idea of creating a graphic design between the 2 is by itself... a...
This picture illustrate an article by the Economist with the same title as this post.
So we have the typical silhouette with the puzzle brain, but this time the brain is missing a piece that the character if holding on its hand... So... lest play a game...
What is the plan for the character to...
The brain of a boy with autism is made up of puzzle pieces while the brain of a girl with autism is made up of cats and hearts.
The image is suppose to represent how autistic people fixates over special interests.
They want $30 for this master piece...
So this graphic suppose to show the differences and/or relationship between autism and asperger.
All I get from this graphic is this 3 points:
That high functioning autism, asperger and pervasive development disorder are the same.
The spectrum is actually measure in IQ.
And the rainbow is...
Someone else made this satire starter pack... I guess I am not the only one that have notice this weird design language around autism... The only thing I would add to it is brains.
It's been a while since I postede pictures from any of my walks, it isn't because I haven't been on any, just been occupied with other things :)
So went out to this platform, you get there by following a path through the forest, as the weather was really nice (apart from being a bit windy)...
The concept of word cloud is simple: A program scan a document or a group of documents, like a website, and then generates a graphic showing the most common keywords, the size of the word is relative to the number of times the word appears... this is a helpful tool for research and marketing, so...
I kinda like the tetris more than the puzzle pieces... I actually counted the pieces and both heads have same pieces on same colors.
As another note this graphic came out related to aspergers, so I wonder if the puzzle piece is more of an autism thing and the tetris is more aspergers?
One of this is suppose to represent a normal working brain and the other one is suppose to represent an autistic working brain, but they will not tell us witch one is witch so it is open to interpretation.
Whimsical rendition of the puzzle brain, this picture is just magic... nightmares have never being this cute.
We all are tired of the puzzle piece to represent autism, so here is an idea...
What does it mean? it means Autism.
You maybe think this is weird... but then again... there is a plush brain with a rainbow loop glued to the top that you can actually buy as a gift for that special autistic...
As you can see both brains have the exact same balls on the same locations what is different is the color, the pattern and the quantity of lines.
The reason why there is not puzzle pieces in this graphic is because this graphic have solve the puzzle for good... now all they need to do is to try...
So... if you ever was confused about that question and wanted clarity, this is all you need to know... just be aware that for simplicity they left out all the other circles that would have count for strengths and I must say so myself... keeping those other circles out really helped to keep this...
I have conflicted feelings about autism cards... but in a way I get the point, when being overwhelmed and is hard to communicate, it can be helpful to hand out a card with some information... I have seeing a lot of bad designs on those... but still I understand the idea.
However this is not the...
I dont want to deal with everything alone when my parents die. I feel like i had enough of life and don't want to do anything more. I am done. I am latching on to meaningless people in case they will help me or be with me when something bad happens. I don't want to experience this once more.
The puzzle piece is probably one of the most recognizable icons that represent autism, so expect to see a lot of bizarre puzzle imagery here.
In today case, we have the silhouette of a person and the view inside the brain is a the typical puzzle of colors that don't really match... and this by...
So we have this thing that looks like a wheel color theory, and then it have random titles around it, but with not explanation how this titles relate to the colors.
So in this case, Information Processing is orange, witch I am going to assume is complementary with the yellow Executive...
I think of suicide as a sin but sometimes i cannot help but feel like it would be good if i get sick with a terminal illness and die soon.
I sometimes feel all alone in the Earth, no mother and father who is there for me. No friends who see the real me and support me.
My therapist did not put up...
Sometimes i am too present in my body, and the anxiety overwhelms me. Other times, mostly at night i reminisce about old times, and the few people who made me feel alive. I am thankful to those people who are not in my life anymore. When i remember them my life feels like a dream, or like it is...
