It's important to understand the way the brain works. Where is your swiss cheese?
Some people cannot recall context or episodic memory. They don't recall the order of events. Their memories are like puzzle pieces shoved together despite the fact they don't match physically or by color.
You can never remember that which you do not perceive. If someone does not perceive context they will never recall context.
30 years ago I came home and told my husband about my crazy coworker who believed in some secret organization called the "Illuminati". We had one conversation. I thought it was all crazy, that the man was crazy.
Ever since then, my former husband tells people that I believe in conspiracy theories, the Illuminati. That's just the way his mind works.
Yes, I love the X-Files. Its entertainment. I understand the difference between entertainment and reality. For someone to say that because I love X-Files means I believe in alien-human replicants is nuts.
It's been 30 years since one single conversation where I spoke of a crazy coworker, and I am still labeled as someone who believes in the "Illuminati".
This is a disability and should be understood as such. But if the person does not understand the weaknesses of their mind, and covers it up, they become a hazard.
I have weaknesses in my abilities, I used to stutter, and my semantic memory is the first to go under stress. What that means is I sometimes struggle to find the words to express myself. Learning languages is a brick wall for me. It's important to recognize our personal Swiss cheese and find the tools to manage them. Language is my Swiss cheese. What is your Swiss Cheese?
