Why are we creative? We don't fit in with the sports bunch or the "normal" social bunch. That leaves us to our own devices. If we're inclined to be artistic or scientific we develop those talents as best as we could in our simple effort to just stay alive. That's quite correct. We're a part of the ...

This one should creep some people out. When I was 5 years old, I was hanging out with my parents in our backyard, while they were both doing some garden work. As they were facing away from me, I decided to help them in some way and picked up the gardening tool closest to me. It happened to be a pitc...

And one more thing. NT's tend to underestimate us, because aspies may seem naive in areas they have no prior experience with. Let's just say I enjoy both the underestimation and the surprise that follows. Be it nasty or pleasant. NT's who feel superior need to get their noses rubbed in from time to ...

I'll use my dancing experience as an example. Usually when learning a new dancing style or steps I tend to over study the whole movement sequence, therefore appearing clumsy at the beginning. As I warm up to the idea though i.e. gather enough details, the whole picture that appears in my mind allows...

I usually observe the person's eyes and how they look at me, other people and objects. I learned to recognize how cynical or how naive the person is through that. ASD people tend to shift focus frequently when in an object rich or social settings, while neurotypical's eyes don't wander about so much...

I have issues with visual overload when my peripheral vision is exposed to a lot rich greenery at a high movement speed. But it also happens when I watch the forest chase scene in "The Return of the Jedi". Sometimes it gets me when I'm stuck in traffic on the highway and then have to pull over (I fo...

I'm quite certain I'm developing an obsession with the Shiva Tandava dance. Hope to find a good teacher around the Toronto area. Still quite obsessed about judo (mostly the practice of kata's) and my local ethnic theatre. Astrophysics and cosmology for life. Science, philosophy and humanistic arts i...

As a 10 year old kid, during the summer months I started hunting frogs and then would release them back to the pond at the community garden my mother was a member of. The neighbour next plot over noticed that and showed me something that stuck in my mind and definitely affected my behaviour (btw, he...

I definitely hate certain social psychopaths, yet even in them I can find/understand a degree of humanity which I may come to like or even learn to love. The power games and hierarchical structures of neurotypicals tend to disgust me, especially when I become a peon in their party of chess (I would ...
