    Memory palaces and mnemonics

    How lovely, to create a calm and safe space you can explore inside your own mind when the outer world gets too intense. It also seems like with objects and symbolism this was a form of self analysis for you. Psychoanalysis probably ties into the concept of Memory Palace in a historical way like...

    Memory palaces and mnemonics

    I'm pretty interested in this topic right now. I was wondering if anyone else was familiar with memory palaces or mnemonics and knew about the topic, wanted to provide information for me to learn or just discuss. :p Also wondering if anyone has made memory palaces before? Or used mnemonic...

    How do you tell if someone is a good friend?

    How do you discern between a good friend, a bad friend and just A friend? I feel lucky when I can make a friend at all. But failing to realize someone has been a bad friend to me has always hurt me. I never even think about it until something like my feelings get hurt or my trust betrayed or I...

    How to deal with liars and fake people? Don't know how to act toward them

    Thanks for saying this. That is exactly how I had been feeling I realize. I think if I felt safe opening up a conversation about it I would be able to address it with them but there are a lot of factors and risks involved and I don't really feel like they can have an honest conversation about it...

    Do you go to therapy? Is your therapist NT?

    I'm trying to make the most out of therapy and my therapist is NT. How do you make the most out of therapy? Have you ever had a positive experience with an NT therapist? I like my therapist, he's just NT so it's hard to communicate sometimes. They don't seem familiar with ASD, we don't really...

    Am I the only one that experiences jealousy?

    This is my experience also. I didn't experience jealousy until my ex was cheating on me and we eventually split up. Since then I am more prone to jealous feelings in romance. Not with friendship or envy in my personal life though. I feel like it's more trust issues than jealousy. I get self...

    Hi guys, I am seeking a formal diagnosis because I need help in school. I'm also struggling in my life and need specialized therapy.I don't know about formal diagnosis and how it works. Are there different types of diagnosis? Do you need a specific type to get help in school? Would like to...

    What do you Youtube?

    I used to hate watching youtube videos (I'm co-morbid ADHD). People would ask me to watch videos about stuff they thought was funny (?) and I never understood the humor or find the entertainment in it. Since then I haven't really ever gotten into youtube myself which is a little sad because...

    Is being evaluated for Asperger's as an adult worth it?

    I'm seeking diagnosis but I am not functioning right now and need therapy for specific things to help me move forward. If I had a stable groundwork, support, career and relationships I don't think I would seek it out because I know if I would need therapy or benefits related to the diagnosis...

    If cats and dogs don't have to eat vegetables why do I?

    I think it's fine to feed dogs and cats certain veggies but I know they have problems digesting others. Steaming them with rice and meat is a healthy option for dogs. I haven't seen a similar diet for cats though. The fruits / veggies I saw at my vet that are known to be toxic to animals...

    How to deal with liars and fake people? Don't know how to act toward them

    Not sure I agree fully, sometime who lies a lot and is often guilty and avoids confrontation probably dislikes it because they don't want to admit they were lying or explain themselves but I know a lot of people who dislike conflict and confrontation for other reasons (myself included). That...

    How to deal with liars and fake people? Don't know how to act toward them

    This is exactly how I am. I forgive out of naiveness but it has gotten me into trouble more than it has helped salvage a good relationship. I assume people are acting the way I am and when I realize it's different my entire perspective is derailed and I go back and think over every interaction...

    How to deal with liars and fake people? Don't know how to act toward them

    This is probably the best advice, thank you. I needed to hear it but it's hard to see that because we were close friends and I had assumed they were being as honest and open with me as I was with them the whole duration of our friendship.

    Languages: Aspie strengths & weaknesses

    What about you do you think helps or hinders you in learning another language? Pattern recognition, logical thinking, rules of grammar and strategic memory patterns. My photographic memory helped because I could look at the characters and use it to remember things for tests. Study scheduling...
