My Receptive Processing: What's the Problem ?

© Donna Williams

I don't know if it will come out that end,

but I process best

when sentences have a line each,

where as minimal words possible used

and if more than one connection in a sentence

then put in point form.

 

I hope the above is like an example.

 

Many sentences are no problem,

but sentences that begin with 1) context then 2) give content

are terribly hard.

 

what happens is that I process the context

then I process the content

but I can't hold one over to the other

 

so sentences like: when x, y, z, then x before y.

those are impossible.

 

but if they were

Re "POSTING"

1) do x

2) then do y.

these work

 

its generally the format of instructions thats the problem

as they involve setting context.

you'll see from above

that my context setting 're posting' is very very minimal

not wordy.

 

so all I have to hold over is ONLY the topic, 'posting'.

when i get context given in a sentence

then I can't un-imbed the context topic

 

this is the main problem.

 

I have typed this email

in the structure I best understand.

to give an example to you

how I process best written language

 

when writting

I don't use this

because expressive isn't stuffed up

but when reading

this is certainly how I best can process.

 

think of my brain as a blender

when too many ingredients go in at one time

the results are that none of the separate compnents ends up cohesive

and DOES end up in the wrong parts so it makes no sense.

 

Its like dyslexia but with sentences

but only receptively.

when I speak, mostly its fine (well when on glutamine it is)

and when I type its mostly fine as well.

 

spoken receptive processing gets better with familiarity

and is horrendous with fist time voices and certain speakers.

written tends to stay the same

I rely heavily on movement/feel

so if the person isn't physically here

its harder to process.

hence I look for the feel of the person.

they feel either sensing or interpretive,

open or closed,

level or reactive,

acepting or critical,

giving or taking,

good or bad,

cat or dog,

apple or orange :-)
