gingerautie asked: Hi! About the EPF article. That language is seriously impenetrable, and I'm a hyperlexic psychology student. I'm fighting through it, and getting like 80%? But my mentor is a phd student who's doing autism research, and she gets a lot of this stuff better than I do. From what I can get of the article, this theory is seriously important, and probably the actually accurate explaination. Which means it's important for autistic people to be able to read. So, I'm going to go through it, with my [1/2]

Yeah.  I wasn’t kidding about the language.  I can only get bits and pieces.  But the bits and pieces I can see, tell me there’s something seriously important in there that’s getting missed everywhere else.  Everywhere else.  I only wish they could have released a plain English translation.  It might not help that English is not the first language of many of the researchers.

I am usually decent at wading through. But that one I am having to come back to later and try again. Glad in a way that it’s not just me, but in some others really not so glad. :-|

Yeah.  For me, it’s taken years.  And years.  And years.  Ever since it was released, pretty much.  And I still only understand parts of it.  Someone said they might be able to translate it into plain English or plainer English at least, later this summer, which would be amazing, but if they can’t, that’s understandable too.
