Definitely some interesting bits and pieces. I was recently diagnosed and the focus on predictive ability reminded me of a particular weakness I have: inability to follow plots. I can't figure out what's going to happen in most movies and usually I load up the Wikipedia entry to follow the plot if things aren't explicitly mentioned in the dialogue :-D
- gt_ 9y agoI work in film and visual art, and have always, odd as it is, associated my difficulty following film plots with my intrigue or indiosyncratic relationship to the art forms. I am also diagnosed. Film editing offers an interesting boundary of sorts in thinking about scope of perception or hierarchies of attention. I’ve always had a hard time just watching a film as a story experience but I find and appreciate plenty of elements about films to be plenty intrigued by almost any of them. I got very interested in media affect as a result, that is the experience of media intake. I have come to believe my (seemingly) unique sensitivity to aesthetics is somewhat undermined by a lack of sensitivity to poetics. This conclusion was painful to reach, but so far the realization has paid off in the way of understanding the limits of my abilities. On a more related note, I tend to experience poetics from the outside in, which causes me to miss out on much of the human experience, including the way many people enjoy films.
