I think associatively, deeply and incessantly about everything (when I say everything I meant everything related to the specific thing I like to think about. It was late when I wrote this :) . Its not that I think about knitting, swimming etc :) ) . I . If a topic is deep and meaningful then I feel immensely nourished by thinking about it. It does drain me though and I do it automatically. How do other people on here with official diagnoses of ASD think about things? I can stop thinking, its draining but I do enjoy it. I sometimes think that thinking is the only good thing there is to do in this life.
Yes very much the same. Before I can sleep i have around a hour of thinking time where I will go into great depth . I love trying to explain things to people too. I had always been shy as a child and have always been the 'diffrent one' but have found I love public speaking. My autistic obsession lead me to write a couple of local history books and after that I was asked to do some local taks to the historic society, U3A, Wi etc and I love it. I will oftern go through part of one of those talks in my head. It really helps me sleep.
