I remember being obsessed with a person who had a gatling gun for an arm. Until I found out about the person with long silver hair, glowing green eyes, and really a long katana.

Wow, I remember quite a few strange things from my childhood. It's really strange I can remember these:

Earliest memory I can remember was from when I was about 1 year old: I can remember pointing to a petrol station and getting the attention of my aunt by shouting 'Ner Ner Ner'. She also repeated the noise I made.

Early childhood: Being frightened of ladybirds and washing machines.

Early childhood: Being in nursery school, and wondering why all the other kids were playing with each other and I wasn't. I also remember having 80s pop music stuck in my head at the time.

4 years old: At 6 in the morning, me and my younger brother went outside in our pyjamas. I think I dragged him in his cart-buggy thing about a mile away from home. He somehow disappeared, and I ran home and told my mum that my brother was lost 'under a bridge'. She thought the worst, and thought I was talking about the canal bridge opposite our house at the time. She phoned the police, and, luckily, an old man found my younger brother.

6 years old: Getting a Commodore 64 for Christmas, and the first game I played was Chase HQ.

6 years old: Accidentally knocking a large glass bottle out of the window. My dad was pissed off, and got a bin bag and put my beloved C64 and games into the bin. :cry: He didn't really mean it, though, and I got my C64 back the next day.

4 years old: Being shown around a special school after I was diagnosed. I made friends with another boy, who I think may have also been aspie. I was at that school for about 3 or 4 years before they said I could cope with 'normal' school.

7 years old: My last day at special school. For the past few weeks they had been trialling me at a 'normal' school to see how I would cope, and I coped well enough. On my last day of special school, we had a mini party to celebrate my leaving, and I remember getting a Disney slide viewer. :)

7 years old: I think I was once sick in school, and I think I may have puked up. My support teacher took me to her house, as my parents were both at work.

speaking of throwing up...

i remember being in natural resources(science) during this party i had been waiting for. the party was celebrating the all the different systems of the body and each body part was a food item. i was sitting on the ground with my friend eating twizzlers/veins when i suddenly felt horrible and then i remember throwing up.

I was positively obsessed with birds; I wanted to be a bird, and have wings so I could fly (I was always making wings out of cardboard, and would jump off the wing-wall of my family home with them on, attempting to fly).

Absolutely my favorite toys were feathered, artificial birds; I would play with them until they got devoured by one of our cats.

When I was four I used to draw anthropomorphised birds instead of people.

i broke both of my arms when i was in about...3rd grade or so. about two weeks after i had the casts and slings taken off, i was running through the house when i slipped and fell on glass of milk on the ground. i can't remember alot from that day but i can remember the blood mixing with the milk to turn a pinkish color. my cat trying to drink the mixture thanks to the milk in the mixture, being very tired as i driven to the hospital, and being in a hospital bed.

the swings at my old elementary school went pretty high and i always loved the swings for that reason. they made me feel as if i were flying and maybe one day i could maybe fly beyond my school with my swing guiding the way. one day there was this kid swinging next to me and he was going really high up in the air. (there had always been these dares about swinging really high and jumping off at the peek of your height) he jumped off the swing when he reached his peek and i was like all "Wow! i wonder if i can do that!"....well, i couldn't apparently and fell hands first on the wood pellets that surrounded and were under the swings. i remember my arms being heavier than normal, like gravity was pushing down just on my arms, and i didn't know why at first. my friends screamed out "Your arms!" and i then proceeded to cry my eyes out as one of my friends brought me to the office. i truly don't remember how painful it was.
