Nursing Major Nerdiness

My group cheated. First we asked Kala Holt to help us, then Amy Wright, and then Sara Dye.
We really learned a lot from our wise honors ancestors though (:
In section 3 "Language Games"he explains that there are rules and social cues which govern our conversations with one another.
"What he means by this term is that each of the various categories of utterance can be defined in terms of rules specifying their properties and the uses to which they can be put -in exactly the same way as the game of chess is defined by a set of rules determining properties of each of the pieces"
I once heard a young man speak at a TEDx conference about autism and language. The kid is BRILLIANT. He is a philosophy nerd and he taught himself how to overcome his "disability". He has literally turned Autism into his superpower. He taught himself to observe social cues and interpersonal relationships in high school and began to recognize and record each unspoken law. He then used these rules to apply to his own relationships. He said having autism is like there is a big set of rules that everyone else knows about, and you are left out of- it often creates huge walls in communication between people with Autism and without. The problem is actually from a under developed Wernicke's area in the cerebral cortex of the brain, and generally another portion of the brain is over developed. Often kids with autism have amazing math and science skills, memorization, or even a great capacity for philosophical literature, but lack the social skills to have a "normal" conversation with another person. The skills which most of us learned in kindergarten stand before the autistic child as a canyon of loneliness.
Thus my first link to "Language Games" was back to the information I learned about Autism both in classes and from this candid young man at TEDx. Lyotard addresses these games and rules which he observes and applies it to knowledge and those implications. Our interactions being affected by a social construct of rules made by society made for communication within that society. But how interesting to study one who cannot understand the social rules and therefore the construct which they find themselves...
"The observable social bond is composed of language 'moves' "
