What are your Aspie/Autistic skills or talents?
I can do pretty much anything with electronics, computers or engineering. Bring me something that's broken and I can probably either fix it or design and build a better replacement. However when it comes to art, music or anything imaginative I'm utterly useless. Ask me to make up a story and all you'll get from me is a deer in the headlights stare.

I write songs and poems; I just need to find strategies in order to keep me able to consistently do so though and enjoy it at the same time.

I'm pretty good with computers as well and I'm sure it's Aspie-related, but nothing supernatural, like some people seem to have. I feel envious of some of the people who have ridiculously good memory or maths or language skills!
Knitting?
Busted!! Yep. I once applied for a proofreading job but wrote "POOFREADER" on the application.
You could've played it off. You could've told the interviewer that you can detect poofs, and then just to prove it, tell them you're talking to one right now. Oh, right... you probably wouldn't get the job then either.
yeah... I can't see that one going down well! Off-topic, but I have to say, houseofpanda, your cat totally looks like mine!
I have a weirdly intense sense of Art. I don't have the hand fine motor skills to do much visual art, but I totally f***ing get all art except music. I love music and can judge its quality in an intuitive way, but I cannot pick out the specifics of music. I don't get the multiple layers and things like rhythm and melody and beat. It's a sensory filtering thing, I think. Even so, I can pick out what is and isn't good art in music, as in everything, with a good explanation generally. It's not just a preference thing either. It applies even to artistically sound things I cannot stand. For instance, I cannot deny that there are a multitude of skilled musicians in the rap and country genres, but lyrics are too all important in music for me to listen to either genre (really any popular music) regularly. That's really the reason I have restricted musical tastes: most musicians aren't nearly as lyrically competent as they are musically talented.
Unfortunately, the only art I can really make is writing. I'm quite good at that, though. I sometimes forget how good I am at fiction writing until I get into an environment like a creative writing classroom, and it's 20 inferior writers who can't figure out how to critique a short story I feel I need to rewrite and rework. It comes so naturally to me that I sometimes take for granted that other people struggle with it. o_O

For the music, have to tried listening to things in languages you don't speak? I have the same problem with lyrics, and I've found that things I don't understand are immensely enjoyable because I don't actually know what they are saying.

It's me playing Jaco Pastorius' "Portrait of Tracy". Solo bass, no effects used. Cell phone recording.
Sounds awesome, bro!

Fabulous! You have a special technique which I don't hear with most bass players. I really like how you put the softer tones between the louder tones.
Knowledge is my talent, I have a head full of facts on all sorts of varied subjects (E.G birds, meteorology, history, dinosaurs, the planets etc.), I used to be good at school quizzes and I have fun answering questions on TV gameshows before anyone on TV actually answers, I hate it when someone gets a fact wrong, I must correct them. I have a good ear for music and birdsong (I only wish I could play an instrument), I am good at spotting grammatical errors and spelling mistakes (although my own handwriting is poor).
My Talent is drawing. I create fantasy-worlds to cope with the real world. Otherwise i bottle it up.

The 2 pictures of the drawings are mine. The second and third picture.

I hope you like it!

I would say art is one of my strongest talents, that and I have a true soprano voice (and i can cary a tune!). That and my extensive knowledge of ancient mythology of different cultures, most notably greek and gaelic.
Here are some of my recent art pieces: the ones I like the most.
