| I think part of the problem with being diagnosed with Asperger's is that 'you look normal' and that maybe you're able to get by in life - so other people think "I don't see a problem" 8O In my own experience, very few are able to 'walk a mile in my shoes' and as such, have no concept what ... |

I love gardening. I have a big front flower garden in the summertime but also a side garden with tomatoes, peppers, beans, kale, and herbs. It's wonderful being able to grow and eat some of your own produce.

| For me it's like floating above a football stadium where there is a filing cabinet at each seat location. I can pull open a cabinet drawer and take out a video and play it over again. Then - I'm there again in that moment with sights, sounds, smells and emotions. Depending on the memory it can be go... |

| Not sure if you are talking about the same thing, but like if I'm watching a teacher talking and she's wearing a piece of jewelry, like a brooch, I'll mentally take it apart like it's spred out in front of her.
