| Like Marybird, said, we have a lot of textured walls in our house too and ceilings and I catch myself looking deeply into them and noticing all the details. Sometimes I see pictures in the patterns. One of our walls has a Winne The Pooh bear looking detail in how the paint went on. It's in one littl... |

| I always see loads of detail in everything, its what makes me so good at art - being able to see whats really there. Most NT's go through life largely blind to the real world, where they see a tree as some kid of big green shape with a trunk I tend to see every single leaf. You mean NT's don't see ... |

| My favorite details to notice are flowers and trees and grass and water details like the lake water. I can just soak that in all day. |

| I think I do that sometimes too but I don't do it consciously. After awhile I notice that I am doing it. |

| I have had some episodes of paralysis and I am wondering if anyone else has had them too. I can remember three distinct ones but there may have been more than three. These are different from fear paralysis which I have also had a lot. One time I really remember clearly was at camp. They always happe... |

| When I look at the floor when I am tired or have done something physical, - the floor may seem to "breathe", colored tiles may change size or ripple and the surface of the road (asphalt) may "move" like slowly streaming lava. I have had many other odd phemomenas of that kind, such as loss of body-s... |

| I like to be clean also. I brush my teeth at least twice a day and floss very night. I had to have emergency surgery once and they were trying to rush me to the operating room and I was upset because they would not let me brush my teeth first. I shower often as well. I don't wash my hair every day t... |

| I love a good sense of wit. It shows creativity as well as intelligence. Sometimes I am witty but it usually comes way after the fact like the next day! I guess I have slow wit! I find myself laughing wishing I had thought to say whatever it was sooner and in the moment. But it's all good! |

| I'm long winded, in speech sometimes as well as in written form. Sorry, I will try to keep things shorter! :) Nothing wrong in it. I think it happens to people because it's a forum and they can just write and write and nobody can tell them to stop :lol: Thanks, I got a little insecure. I express my... |

| I also think it would be great for you to look at other characteristics about yourself that you can feel good about that don't have anything to do with IQ or intelligence. By the way, I love that your dad is your role model, that is awesome. And that is a good one, you have a great relationship with... |

I just noticed your signature. Sometimes when certain kinds of things are incomplete, that can scare me little. Could that possibly be a reason for what you mention in your signature? Just a thought. |

| I don't if any of you know music theory or not. But I have found that certain chord progressions in the chorus or in the swell at the end of a bridge leading into a chorus can trigger goosebumps with me. I presume what you guys mean by goosebumps is that wondrous roller-coaster euphoric like fellin... |
