Do you generally read or write fiction and/or fanfiction?
I spend my life reading and writing stories of various types, and I wondered if this is normal for autistic people. I thought we were supposed to have very limited imaginations and interests and that was how we got diagnosed. But my imagination is vast, I tend to live in a fantasy world rather than the real world because it is nicer tbh!
What is your imagination like?
I think you're right, we are.
badum tsh!
Yes, I didn't identify myself with autism...well...ever really because I've got a very vivid imagination.
Beware reviewers and critics if you become a writer, they are evil.
Did you see the outtakes from one of the Avengers films? I think it was Ironman and Loki having a chat in Ironman's bar, but Loki couldn't stop laughing so they had to do several takes. Also that bit when the Hulk beats him up, he couldn't stop laughing so the same thing applied.
That's a good view of it. I know I'll never be like anyone else, I've just started thinking that I'm an alien, meant to be isolated and alone. This helps somewhat.
exactly
it's the worst thing ever to be like others
to be just another featureless copycat, brr, my skin goosebump
Nothing wrong with that! Everyone loves different things and that's what makes us so unique
My brother was into Adventures of Link and Final Fantasy. I was the resident Football-Loving Oik.
Oddly enough, my mum has tons of Mills and Boon and Danielle Steele books.
Why do Catholics obsess so much about Sex?
My Patronising English Teacher, from ages 11 to 14, sarcastically mentioned 'Peter and Jane went to the Park'. She was a right Moo!
Fortunately, I had a much nicer English Teacher for GCSE. I got a C, but REALLY learned English online.
Damn those marshmallows. I could never resist. (the reason I'm a 'Starving Artist')
I'm productive with writing, but don't have much cohesion. I couldn't tell a Yarn for Toffee; and I'm from a land of story-tellers.
Poetry is my best method of expression. But I'm more John Cooper Clarke than Seamus Heaney.
I was obsessed with Atlases as a boy. Now I, compulsively, plan routes - I'm hardly likely to take - on Google Maps.
That's a great idea :) Love the x-men! I don't know if other autistic people would agree but I know when I first came across the x-men I did identify a lot with the mutants, even though I never knew why. Maybe the autistic community can see themselves as x-men more easily than neurotypicals can?
That's great that you fill your life with as many flying things as you can!
I know whenever flying sections happen in games I play I just get by aha, but it is very fun. I agree that you can definitely be born to have the mindset of a pilot
I wrote a manuscript and wish i could publish it as soon as possible because i believe it would be a major inspiration to the autism community because it gives us people with autism superpowers. Kind of like if in the x men, the mutant gene was autism.
I love flying too,
I wanted to be a fighter pilot as a kid, but when I was teenager I found out about physical requirements, and the dream ended.
but since then I played many flying simulater games and real plane simulater apps too a lot, I could do it better than any of my gaming buddies, I think you have to be born different to be good at it
I suppose with 3D it's how the film uses it, because I saw the last Hobbit film in IMAX 3D and it didn't really add to the film. But some films use 3D really well like the How to train your dragon movies, I always remember the flying scenes the most. They stand out so well in 3D
I wish they made more full 3D movies, fantasy of course
it was Romeo and Juliet transcend time and spacce btw
Yeah I saw Avatar in 3D when it came out originally, and I really really enjoyed it!
