Communication #1: Introduction-What is it?

A question that involves a lot of different areas of study. Behaviourists; biologists – both human-focused and zoologists; anthropologists; linguists; even archaeologists and paleontologists. And it’s something very important to the Autistic community, and to the broader autism community (incorporating allistic parents, allies, etc.), because of the difficulties with speech that come with “classical” (aka Kanner’s) autism, and the difficulties all autistics have, to one extent or another, understanding body language and social behaviour.

This question just happened to occur to me as I was driving back from my new residence to my parents’ house (where I now live only on the weekends, so that Imber and I aren’t separated for long – I need my puddy-tat!), having forgotten some stuff that I meant to bring over yesterday evening. (Heck, there’s still some stuff I forgot, but it wasn’t as important as what I did fetch, so I wasn’t going back.) And the question won’t leave me alone, so I thought I’d better start writing.

(And as I started writing this post out – not that I’m finishing it tonight – I realized that it really needs to be a series of posts. So, this is #1 – just what is communication, anyway?)

Okay, a lot of thoughts and such follow. Read on!

Not Terribly Active of Late

Hey, everyone!

First of all, Happy New Year 2014! (For those that use the Gregorian Calendar, of course…. 😉 )

As the title of this post says, I know I’ve not been very active posting as of late; if you’re curious as to why, I’ve posted the details on my Other Blog.

One thing I do want to do, however (just before I do my best to assure you that I haven’t abandoned this blog!) is invite those who are interested to check out the blog’s 2013 stats. Some interesting things there!

And now, I do promise that this blog hasn’t been abandoned. (See, I said I would!) As linked above, there have been a variety of reasons I haven’t updated lately, but that shouldn’t continue. Especially after I move (see the post referenced above for details).

‘Later, all!
