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?
Hello
I only read factual books, dictionaries, books about the mind for example ‘the marshmallow test’
fiction I have to re read and struggle to keep the storyline in my mind.
I do love to write though and have a vivid imagination, or my world so that’s the same thing. Yes I would agree autism and imagination do go together, after all we are individuals as different as each cloud in the sky.
Damn those marshmallows. I could never resist. (the reason I'm a 'Starving Artist')
