    Do you talk to animals?

    I have always spoken to animals in human and their language... I also have little dialogues much like johnny morris off BBC TV when I was a kid. Animals also seem to trust me. In fact I mentioned this at an Aspie group and the facilitator said she had heard that this wasn't unheard of with those...

    Stuck on Songs

    Yes and they usually end up driving me mad as they go around in my head. :) I've still got commercials in my head from when I was a child and am often found humming or singing them :D

    Aspies and Art

    I love drawing and painting but I do find I get obsessed with one subject or technique. I am currently obsessed with pastels. I love their colour pureness and the speed in which I can create something without waiting for paint to dry. I also love collecting art and this is where modern...

    Geography

    This has always been a big one for me. I love maps and as an 8 year old drew the Eurasian continent from memory over about 40 sheets of computer printout paper. Which I then sellotaped together. I find I have a natural ability to read maps like some do a book.

    What do you think of animals?

    I have always been a huge animal lover. We own two cats: Wilf and Suki. I often have little conversations with them and prefer them to most people. I love nature in general and am constantly distracted by any wildlife. So going anywhere will lead me to 'studying' some sort of creature whether...

    What's the last book you read?

    I'm currently reading The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. I'm on the second book so far: Green Mars. I have always been obsessed by space and Mars in particular. Google sky can eat up hours as I fly around Mars :)
