Complex image processing.

[Iamnotarabot]

Ok so I have another topic in mind today !

Sometimes I " lag" , well lets say that I freeze or in another wayto put it, I cant recognize complexe images.

When I say complexe images, this is like an image of something I dont see often, or something that has many informations at the same time.

I am not talking about art, but photographs or even in real life when I am just looking at things.

I manage to understand the image, but it can take me like 20sec, for instance today it was an image of rats gathering on the side of a river , I couldnt understand it as fast as I process images 99.99% of the time like I blocked.

Yesterday I also looked down at a table with a carpet near it ( on the ground) And for a few sec I saw the 2 things in the same plan , I couldnt tell the difference in perspective.

Did anyone here expercience that? In your opinion is this related to an ASD trait?

This has always been a part I considered with my ADHD. Just quickly look for whatever information that is neccesarry and avoid the rest of it. But I don't think you're talking about the same thing. Unless it could be that you were distracted.

 

[Iamnotarabot]

Well I dont realy know, its realy vivid , like, the image feels flat and i am not able to make sence of all the informations it contains, that's how I feel about it.
I should look if this is related to ADHD, I dont know how to research effectivly because i come up with this "complexe image processing" , but this is a made up expression, I have no idea how what I experience is actually called^^'


I think you are talking about zoning out? Like when someone talk to you, or you see or even do something but at the same time a part of the information doesnt get to your brain and it feels like its in the back of your head for a couple of second and then it stop lagging in your head and you feel that you get reconnected to reality xD This is not what i am talking about in this topic^^'

I guess I'm talking more about picking up selective information, not zoning out in this case. For instance when I'm scrolling through a page looking at memes and come over an inspirational quote, I will overlook it completely because I don't see anything related to the information I'm seeking.

Maybe you're just blanking out? Like I get these memory glitches sometimes where I don't remember who a person is so I just sit there and try to put them in a context so I understand why they are talking to me and who they are.... You might have better luck if you find a name for it. I have to say "complex image processing" is very vague and complex

I have difficulty getting anything out of any visual image. I process images very slowly. If I don't know, say, what shelf the canned tuna is on then I have to look at every single type of can on every shelf to see if they say "tuna" on them, until I find it. Finding new things in a grocery store is one of my least favorite tasks.

My wife can look at a whole shelf and instantly see what she's looking for is. I don't know if that's an NT ability, her own visual and artistic talent, or just the standard Mom superpowers.

I've experienced this, but with speech not images, where it'll take me a few seconds to ungarble what someone has said to me. Sometimes I've actually had to ask someone to spell a word I couldn't understand because it sounded non-sensical.

Same for me! We are good at picking up details but sometimes getting stuck on a detail make us loose the global picture!^^

But this is not exactly what i was talking about neither mouhahaha xD

Iv looked for it in french on internet, it seems that people has this long term condition causing them to not see in perspective, but this should be all the time. Iv find that people with a lots of headhaches can experience it aswell, and I always have an headhache to some degree so I buy this explenation.

Sometimes I say a real word and it feels like this word doesnt exist xD is this the same?

Yes, I've experienced this, not with simple images such as a dot or triangle, but with more complex images with more to process. It's not that I can't see it - I can - but I can't make any sense of it and it just looks like a chaotic mess of random shapes. But my greatest difficulty is with audio processing - I don't always process or get what people are saying. Sometimes things are kind of pixelated, but I think this is due to low blood pressure rather than processing, I'm not sure about this.

Yup this is what happens to me- it just sounds garbled but usually it's only a word or two not the whole megillah.

I’m currently noticing I’m sometimes not recognising what I’m looking at.

Previously I could look at a scene, for example, those rats gathered by that river and at will, or should I have needed to, recall most or all of the detail in glorious technicolour.
Like having a photograph stored in an album to look at.

Just lately though, it’s like I’m not labelling, classifying or ‘taking photos’ of the information before me.
Unless I want to know something.

Take those rats by a river again.
I would have to be asking myself ‘what’s that dark shape that’s moving by that water?’

Only then will my brain offer up the many different possibilities (in the form of memories) of ‘moving, dark coloured things found by water’

If I can’t find a match in my ‘files’I might study for longer to investigate.

Or I might not, Which is usually the case at the moment.
The scene will meld into a 1d blur of irrelevance.
No angles, shapes, dimensions. Nothing.

I may have to ‘double take’ to recognise any singular object.

Nah, that's just being stupid.

I see it with photograph but I don't know if it's because I am almost blind in the retina area of my eye and my lens has been altered by a laser .
that's why I tend to like making greeting cards that are somewhat in part 3-D,probably logical if autism spectrum disorder is called developmental disorder that part of the brain concerned with perception has not developed , especially for me as I am hypermobile which usually affects all parts of the body .

I lag when given verbal instructions about anything. I cannot process it at all, and I have to write it all down step by step. It has greatly impacted my life, and given me many extremely embarressing times, in work, personal life, etc. It could be simple directions when I ask someone, or it could be a recipe, or yesterday, when the Xfinity lady told me about buying an iPhone and saving myself $25.00 per month on my current plan. Any verbal instructions of any kind short my brain in out. Any verbal steps cannot be processed. I also have a hard time with complicated plots in movies.
