is that folks are confusing ruminative thinking patterns with "hearing voices" Asperger sufferers do not experience hallucinations.
... the client can describe things going over and over in their heads ....for him it would be like, he would say I keep hearing girls,
I cant stop thinking about girls, grils girls, what he in
all likelihood is trying to express is that he keeps THINKING about girls, kinda like when a song gets in our head
that is way different than hearing voices.
Authentic hallucinations or hearing voices or hearing things can be one of two ways . From the outside "you will go kill" in a
different "voice" , or within the head of the sufferer but heard as if someone else is talking within.
A client of mine, years ago , once explained to me, in a way I will never forget. I describing "voices" (not ER)
he said it is like being stuck between two radio stations, neither of them tuned in correctly but both playing,
all the time, loudly
(static)
together. Sometimes the stations are "in" his head, while at some times both radios are playing together from outside.
Ponder that..........There are all kinds of hallucinations (again different flavors but all ice cream).
They can be visual wherein they are actually seeing things that are not really there. There are
auditory hallucinations - as it sounds !
There can hallucinations where "smells" are experienced that are only in their minds, there are
hallucinations where they feel things that are not there .
T
here are delusionals which are different than hallucinations.Delusions are in thier own thought processes but not realistic or true butm, by the sufferer BELEIVED (James Holmes I AM the Joker). In Holmes case he was delusionial, not necc hearing anything but beliwving knowing in his mind that he is the Joker and MUST, as the Joker do what the Joker must do .... go the premier and kill, after all that IS what the Joker would do and since I am the Joker..................[FONT="]

I hope this makes sense!
After page 99 the reading gets harder.
Does anybody think he could have been helped at all? I don't think even with the very best psychiatric help that he could have got over his hatred of everybody. Even if medication could help with any 'voices in his head' he would always hear his own voice so would continue to have twisted thoughts.
I've never at any point read that he ever loved anybody - not his mother, father, sister, brother, nannies or his ex friends.
