I have tons of trouble remembering when it's my turn as well and I have to constantly ask the other players if it's time for me to move or not!

ZombieBride, I'm like you. Most of the time, I'm slow to finish, but if it's something I have a passion for, it gets done quickly.

Have had an FSIQ test.
Every score came back in the "Very Superior" range... except Processing Speed.

I'm a fairly slow thinker, but I'm a very, very heavy thinker. I occasionally seem fast because I already know exactly what's going to happen, but when I'm caught off guard, it takes me some time to get stuff through my head.

If I'm working on something like a project, it takes a while, too.

For some reason, my reaction time when I'm about to get hurt is particularly fast, though, so I'm assuming it runs entirely on a different process in the brain than the rest of my thinking.

I was always the last person to get something done unless it was something I was good at. I always came in last in track. I was also slow in understanding things.

During childhood I was a bit traumatised by the wits of bullies so I think that lead to me thinking before I talked, and when ever I talk now I usually think beforehand which turns out to seem slow thinker. plus as a kid I used to eat very slow, wish I could do that now though.

I'm slower than molasses on the shady side of an ice burg in January.

The only thing I'm really slow at is communication and memory. I obviously don't catch on quickly to what other people mean when they say something, and I forget things all the time. Both have been the case my whole life.

I'm slow when it comes to math, and to figuring out why certain jokes are funny.

I'm fast unless I have brainfog or I'm procrastinating.

Yes. More often then not I am the last person to finish any kind of assignment or task. However, "slow and steady wins the race"!

All that matters is to do your best, even if it takes some time. People should not look at your slowness as a problem.

Yes I am quite slow...lol I think next time someone asks me hurry up I'll ask them if they would ask a blind person to describe to them how the sky currently looks :twisted:

Just today I started and then deleted an email from someone at work who decidedly does not have AS. I think fast, and probably too fast.
