But... ...if you ever need to make anything, you'll be able to. If there was an EMP strike, people would be coming to you for carpenting stuff. Except that they are mostly power tools :) Nice re-framing though! My latest obsession is Kung Fu and Tai Chi... I KNOW how to kick your ass, but I won't e...

In myself, I've noticed that I research my "hobbies" but don't actually do them. I have a garage full of woodworking tools, I've read every book, and watched every TV show and DVD, and could tell you the steps in making just about anything, but I don't actually ever get out there and make anything! ...

There are a number of studies documenting a correlation between Asperger's and enhanced visual-spatial skills. This is a large part of the reason for the stereotype of Aspies as math savants, and why many Aspies find work in fields such as engineering. That's interesting. I'm really poor at math, b...

1) Neither. I hear the noise and then remember the hand movement that goes with it. Technically, I can take a dictation without understanding what I'm writing. On some instances (at school) I did. I passed tests with flying colors without understanding a single word. (Yeah, serious problem with pro...

1) I see it. Then, I unconsciously write it with my finger. Apparently, I've been doing that for years and no one ever told me. I write what I see with my index finger, usually on my leg or thumb. It looks like I'm stimming, but I'm actually writing the word I hear/see in my head. HA! My wife does ...

HAHA!! Well, you all have pretty much blown my theory! :) My theory was that aspies are primarily auditory... or auditory is the dominant referencing system in the majority of people with aspergers. Based on your responses, it seems there is a healthy mix of visual and auditory. Again, this was in n...

I've been doing research into Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) lately, and to quickly summarize, every person generally has one dominant referencing system... either visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. I'm an aspie, and I noticed something interesting (a pattern) in myself, and I've asked others and...
