Language Processing and Autism: Timeless Fragmented Syntax

Babies are flooded with sensations which are fragmented through all their sensory modalities.
D. Williams

 

 

I had always known that the world was fragmented
D. Williams

 

 

I had a fragmented perception of things at the best of times, seeing eyes or a nose or whiskers or a mouth but mostly putting the bits together in my head.
D. Williams

Processing fragmented information means that Alex defines places and people by the ‘bits’ he stored in his memory. That is why any changes in
the environment or person’s appearance make them unrecognizable to him. He does not recognize his classmates if they wear different clothes
or have changed their hairstyle. He cannot ‘read’ facial expressions and
body language.

As a consequence of fragmented perception autistic people may experience delayed processing.

If the sensory perception is inconsistent, fragmented, distorted and unreliable, the next stages of the process will not go smoothly. Autistic people often have difficulty moving from sensory patterns (literal interpretation) to understanding of functions and forming concepts.

Individuals with autism do often have fragmented perceptions and may be less likely than the typically developing to bind their memories together in a coherent whole.

Normocentric descriptions of autistics as defective nonautistics bias our understanding of autism information processing, and therefore of memory in autism. We begin with a consideration of ethical issues arising from descriptions of different life forms. Then we propose that nonautistic memory subsystems, relations among these subsystems, and their rules of functioning, do not straightforwardly apply to autistics. Three aspects of autistic memory are presented in order to defend our hypothesis: savant memory, surface memory and categorization.
