    Memory palaces and mnemonics

    Is anyone here obsessed with climbing?

    Does anyone here has climbing as a special interest? Would you like to talk about it? My boyfriend fits the aspie profile and he was describing a climbing buddy (not exactly a friend) that also fits the aspie profile, so I got curious to know if it’s a pattern.

    the kittybot!

    Hi all! I'm a 31-year-old transgender (nonbinary/agender) freelance artist who was recently diagnosed with ASD. I've put myself down as having Asperger's because, even though ASD is now considered one general classification under the DSM-5, my symptoms most closely fit this older...

    Do you NEED to know?

    So I put off my introduction for a long time because I really didn't know what to say. Also just getting use to how the site works. Thought I would start with a question, then all the personal stuff, just to mix things up ;) The question is...do you, like me, have a super strong drive to know...

    Info Junkie

    My seven-year-old son laughs every time he learns, or understands, something new. He recently asked me, how people with disabilities manage to do stuff. I explained that everyday tasks are harder to accomplish, but that they learn to do things in a different way. Then, I showed him a video of...

    How does a special interest form?

    When I got diagnosed last year, I thought I didn't have any special interest, which at the time was true, but looking back on my earlier life I've definitely had a few. The last few years I haven't had any though, and I've felt meaningless and bored. So I was wondering how a special interest is...

    Trying to Choose Sanity (Over Compulsion...?) PART 1

    My new job is full-time. I have read that many Aspies find they cannot work full-time. Though my job is ideal considering potential "burnout/get-fired danger zone areas" that I have/might face at other jobs, it is still full-time. The trouble with full-time is simply the length of it. That...

    Anyone else have quick and SUPER intense special interests?

    So, this was a weird thing that happened a couple of weeks ago... I suddenly got into natural/long hair care in a BIG way. Nearly out of nowhere. I bought new shampoo, and then on the way home, I was like, "I'm going to look up some things about not using sulfates, etc." and then BAM 48 hours...
