| I've never seen this movie, but I felt a deep connection to the main theme by Ennio Morricone. I used to play it in the headphones as I exited Zōshigaya station 1:30 AM after working all day and evening, and walked the slope down to my share house. I felt like a kind of victory tune. https://www.you... |

| How about photography? Does anyone have anything to show? https://78.media.tumblr.com/4b7beaf96640ad548b883e0d2d70049c/tumblr_oumnlkPj1n1w5cqc8o1_1280.jpg https://78.media.tumblr.com/25b578e1b6f2423f5d0c0b93fad4b9fd/tumblr_p5dj85ouks1w5cqc8o1_1280.png https://78.media.tumblr.com/4a7824f0d83052792906... |

I was obsessed with sports cars at that time, so I tried to create the ultimate sports car. That was the logical result from an aspie child's point of view.  |

| I'm happy you think so. Right now I'm swamped with work and adapting to life as a married man, but maybe sometime in the future I can pick up drawing again. Luckily, it's not a skill that disappears. I haven't really "enjoyed" drawing since I was a child though. Here are some images from w... |

I'm also a jack-of-all-trades.
Perhaps I also have a talent for loneliness. I have a grand total of 0 friends. |

| I like my wife's cooking. Other than that I've always had a thing for ice-cream. Between age 10-12 I organised a list of potential ice-cream garnishes that reached about 2,800 entries. |

| I think I had a mixed episode of mania and depression a few years ago. Hard to tell because I was never given any other formal diagnosis than Asperger's and psychosis (undefined). I still battle with it, such as today, but now it's more of a kind of wet blanket than proper depression. A step forward... |

| Somewhat unrelated, but considering the co-morbidity (if we call it that) of autism and giftedness, I wonder if, from your point of view, there's a inherent moral responsibility to contribute with your gift to the world. I was diagnosed with Aspergers about 8 years ago, but also struggled with psych... |

| I think certain people like me. I recently came to terms with not liking them, though. At this point in time I'd say I have no close friends (excluding family & wife). I'm strangely satisfied with the situation and feel relieved I don't have to bother with shallow wine drinking, run-of-the-mill ... |

| I do quite a bit of acting in my daily life, mostly at work. Acting, suppressing, adapting, etc. is a coping strategy to me and it has won me, for example, job security. It depends on what you want from life. If you want to participate actively and successfully in society then this behaviour helps s... |

| thank you for sharing! that sounds like a good fix to this issue. do you not feel insecure about how you look in photos? or do you think you look better? I gained a more balanced understanding of my looks, especially how I appear in photos. I do think I look better to some extent, since looking str... |

| I can only speak for myself, as I don't know how the others who identified with the pattern thinking mindset think. Here's the plan to a building I designed almost ten years ago. Of course I relate to it visually because it's an image, but in planning this building I have to account for a large rang... |

| I used to intensely dislike it, but I found a solution. Basically, my wife and I decided, from the day we moved together, to take a daily photo of us two together. Not for an SNS or anything, just for our personal memories. We sometimes do it on trips or journeys, but mostly it's just a timer at hom... |

| I was happy to have a long deep talk with my wife, humbled by her knowledge of other people, and (in a good way) properly embarrassed about my naivety regarding said people issues. Compared to her, I'm like an 11 year old socially. |
