| In order to get over my stage fright, and generally improve the expression of my voice (I have a few speech impediments), I have created a YouTube channel that will contain my own poetry readings - there aren't many poetry channel on YouTube, which is a shame, because it's such an ancient art (and o... |

| I think that the vivid, intense imaginary worlds/imaginary friends that some autistic people experience should be explored more in-depth. It's mentioned in passing in some autism literature , but I'd like to see an entire book dedicated to the subject. My mom has suggested that I write one myself, ... |

| I am considering writing a book that touches on my experiences with autism and the public's understanding of the condition. But I appreciate that a few notable autobiographies have already been published - The Reason I Jump , for instance - so I thought it would not be a bad idea if I asked you guys... |

| My working memory is very poor. If I want to look up a concept, phrase, or word that I am unfamiliar with, by the time I open a new window to google it, I have already forgotten what it was or how to spell it. So I always cut and past things that I want to look up. Maybe it's because Aspies and Aut... |

| Well, back in April, I was at my parents' house and left to go for a walk. My dad told me to bring this sports thing for sale down from the top of the driveway, which I was going to go by on my way out, to the front of the garage. I was like, OK! I was like, Alright! I'll show dad I'm not a bum and... |

| I also have an inability to synthesize things. If anyone asked me to explain a book, poem or an article I had just read, I cannot do it; my mind returns with an indistinct fog, so to speak, and I struggle to extract anything pertinent from it - nothing based on something more cogent than feeling and... |

| I am often accused of not being interested in the world around me; on the contrary, I'm interested in too much. When I try to explain to my accusers that I am in fact interested in many, that I simply cannot process and store the information either because it's too overwhelming; the elements are too... |
