Flash, intuitive, and syntax mind (in my case)
Last week I listened to a speech by Temple Grandin at TED conference 2010. I don't remember exactly, but I learned that there are some quite different types of mind in people on the autism spectrum. I remember two minds. Visual thinking and verbal mind. There is another type of mind I can't remember now, but the only thing I remember associated with this mind is a pattern of an "origami" art of a mantis.
Then what about my mind? The view of my mind myself vary from time to time, but I come up with one typical thing about my mind - my way of feeling and thinking.
Flash, intuitive and syntax mind.
While I'm strongly attracted by details of grammar and syntax, the way I like them is intuitive. I like to see and think of things in an ad hoc way, and the subject I'm interested in or the explanation I make tends to "happen to be logical." I imagine that typical people who like logic, syntax and grammar would like do thing with a careful plan, but it isn't my case. I don't basically like careful plan, although I like to be careful about whether an item I'm focusing on is consistent.
The other trait I view myself in the context of the mind I mention today is that, my strong but intermittent concentration like a flash. I'm not really sure I like to concentrate on one thing for a long time, or I like to let my concentration fly one thing to another to another. I'm only sure that I concentrate suddenly and intensely, and sometimes long time passes ending up spending a lot of energy, and sometimes I find some other thing to concentrate, and annoyed by handling with concentration on more than two things. In any case, my energy is likely to exhausted in a short period of time, although sometimes I make a lot of progress in the things I focus on.
This mind type of mine is only one description I think of myself with, considering my concentration style on daily work and study, and it's likely that I may find other description of the type of my mind. Brushing up the description of the type of my mind may give more understanding of hidden abilities of people on the autism spectrum, so I'd like to continue update the description of the type of my mind.
