METHODS OTHER: TO TURN OFF 'WRONG' SYSTEMISING, AND HEAR NT FUNCTIONING

SOME OTHER POSSIBLE METHODS.


These could be tried in combinations with each other and with aspects from Method 1.


1. Stopping systemising being active in some communications.
Fernando1 on http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp1756527.html#1756527, and Fernando2 on http://unlearningasperger.blogspot.com/2007/06/updates.html appear to have used a scenario involving stopping systemising from being active in some communications.
This was done by
(a) distracting the systemising by giving it something more 'major' to be working on (e.g. Fernando1 - doing his mental exercises, Fernando2 - various considering of self) and helped by
(b) being tired.
With systemising distracted and reduced in power, and yet without the fear of feeling naked which Aspie's have if they are not systemising, there was then for both an element of 'surprise' as they found they were NT empathising in another bit of what was going on around them at that time ('wow, then I found I was empathising, using my mirror neurons').
i.e. maybe if the Aspie-system is absorbed (distracted) by something interesting and heavy, the person automatically uses his/her NT functioning for some secondary communication?

So; maybe if you give your systemising an absorbing task to do,
- think about some college work?
- concentrate on maintaining an 'empty mind'?
- repeat counting to 1000?
- remembering past events or holidays?
- trying really hard to imagine and hear lovely jungle birdsong in your mind, or a beach sea-breeze
- holding a hand-held computer and playing a nice game e.g. one where you jump from stone to stone as you go down a valley, or ski from side to side down a slope
- writing into your mobile
- repeat-squeezing a tennis ball.
- maintaining a perfect body balance
- repeating a mantra; 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' 'I don't care what happens here - but it might be fun' Maybe one could say it at a different note each time, rising up a scale and then down and then up...

If you focus all your systemising on this, then maybe you will find that you will do seemingly unimportant 'aside' communications using NT routes.

2. Stop data input? (starve the systemising)
(a) sensory block; dark, sound-deadened room, after a while you will stop systemising? Perhaps not - maybe you will still systemise on back data?
(b) meditation, restful, water-bed? Perhaps not -maybe you will still systemise on back data?
(c) mentally just throw data away, let it pass straight through and out of mind. Possibly yes - it's what I do.

3. Creating a super-loving environment which will enable 'turning back' to empathy.
This seemed to work in 'Let me hear your voice' by Catherine Maurice (including intense hugging) and 'Son-Rise' by Barry Kaufman (including great efforts to go to meet the child in their world).
For a while feel choose to be very optimistic about your life, your relationships, your financial situation, and all the goodness your life can have.

4. Crashing the systemising programme, so it can't work *** SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW ***
i.e. overload, create a situation that is too hard to systemise. This may result in meltdown/crash that hurts a lot, but I feel NT functioning may emerge from within you when in Aspie crashed state in some situations.
