My bedroom walls have no posters - aspie thing or just me?

I have a lot of posters on my walls.

---

While at the university, a floor monitor asked me why I didn't put posters, etc., on the walls like the other residents did.

Well, it was because I knew that the posters would tend to distract me so the blank walls were fine with me.

Later, I did put a few posters on the wall (such as event posters) simply to appease the remarks from the floor monitor/blend in.

Was very aware that persons can send messages as to their values (money, education, romance, science, sports, politics, etc.) as to what they could put up on the walls but I had no desire to do that.

Blank walls were ok with me.

Today I realize the world runs on green so I would likely paint the walls of the room green or decorate them with green posters in tribute to Rev. Money Is Good.

Me too - bare walls.

I do have posters, but they tend to be maps or my characters from video games. I don't really have the strength to put real people on my walls. One time I tried to, but the real people give me the creepies.
It might just be me or not, but I always feel like the posters are watching me if they are real people. Like they are watching me and everything I do. I tend to hang frames of maps and constellations instead. Abstract spacy, and other things. But never real people.

Makes sense. Aspies are less inclined to show off fashion / belonging / personality, going for what's functional & comfortable instead.

Mine have no posters, though the wallpaper is textured. I like just a little bit of stimulation - I dislike rooms with a lot of posters as well as the ones with completely plain walls.
Me too. Also with the women on the shampoo bottles... I always face them away from me.

It is just you. Apparently you do not want posters on your walls.

I have pictures of my favourite bands and a few hanging pictures, in my apartment.

My walls in my bedroom have always been bare. So has my house, for that matter (my parents' choice).

When I was at home I pretty much wallpapered my painted bedroom with posters, magazine pages and my own artwork. It was great, I didn't feel at all confused or spun out by it.

i dont like posters!

I don't have anything on my bedroom walls either, except a dry-erase whiteboard for organization and notes, and this poster.

I don't have anything either except a lizard and a snake carved from wood...hanging on nails that were here before we moved in. This is in fear of the landlord getting mad than anything to do with autism. If I had my own place, there would be meerkat, Lion King and Titan A.E. posters all over the room if I did not paint Lion King, meerkat and Titan A.E. murals instead. My parents claimed they loved my paintings of African sunsets but when I asked if they would let me paint a mural when we got our own place they said no.

I've actually had quite a few video game posters growing up... e.g., Mario, Sonic, Pokémon, that stuff.

Then there was a period when there was nothing on my wall. No interest.

Now I would desire to get tons and tons of posters if I could. But alas... no money.

I'm exactly the same. I've never hung pictures or posters. Not sure if it's an Aspie thing though.

I have diagrams, charts and sets of symbols/languages that I find interesting and want to learn.

I have a periodic table of the elements and an old Trans-Am poster.
