Skill level?

So as I keep saying I’m a new diagnosed that I didn’t instigate.

i can do everything,. I really can.. I see it being done and I can do it, give me a week and I can do it just as good if not better.

so if I want to do something, let’s say computer programming.. I will Google the hell out of it and will have something different to show for it aweek later.. but if I have a couple of weeks off programming,  then all is forgotten! 

anybody want to share feelings on this trait? 

I always need to keep busy or I pace, involuntary movements.. self harm mehhhhhhhhj I guess attaching my self to this forum is one of them things right now

  • Yeah I do that too, but I keep refreshing the knowledge every few weeks to strengthen the memory of it, so that hopefully it'll stay in the reserves of my mind somewhere. We all have this mind erasure mechanism, and if something is not useful to us after a month, it'll get erased from our minds and forgotten about. It's a natural process. 

    In college, the other students were making fun of me for taking down notes, and they'd point to their brain and say "I don't need to take down notes, it's all up here!" Like they had some kind of godly eidetic memory and were rubbing in how much they were smarter than me. And that discouraged a few other students from taking down notes too, but I didn't care. I knew how the brain erases information, and even if they think their brain won't, I know my brain will, so that's what the notes are for, they're for me. Well, a month later, they all forgot because their memory process naturally wiped itself clean, and all of them were asking me and begging me for my notes. Oddly enough, they also seemed to have forgotten that they made fun of me on that day, and they didn't apologize, so I did not want to share my notes with them. 

    I'd say that I'd rather obsessively learn a new interesting thing, than to hang out and socialize with a group of people talking a lot about nothing. Well, like the small talk stuff, and most of that is not interesting to me. But even without school, I still obsessively learn things, but NT think it's weird if it's not for school, so I took an online course, just to say "I'm taking an online course" so it'll be less weird if they see me studying something.
