What defines your autism?

Normal? No, thank you.

I'd rather be me even if it means alone.

I get to do all kind of cool things they wouldn't come up with in a million years, and they would need another million to understand it.

Like giving cool names to anything and everything: Clueless Copycats, The Furious Blinking Response, Radical Solutions, or nicknames that stick to a person for life.

I can talk to myself and never get bored. <-- my favourite kind of joke, it's the truth !!!

Iwould be hard pressed to tell their real names

that's a really unique one. How did they come up with it?

I think that allistic learn names if they find you interesting or exploitable or othwerwise inciting remembering it.

My issue with not remebering names is more along the line of limited capacity in memory for words. That's the only conclusion I can draw so far. So if I make a nickname out of words I would remember anyway for other reasons it helps me, because I can retain them in my memory identifiable, otherwise they would become like most - just blank, nameless faces. 20 years is maksimum limit for unused word to remain in my memory.

Eventually all words fades into ocean of forgetfulness. My memories from childhood are speechless, except added later 'subtitles/transcript'
