| I love most movies perticularly classic comedies and really cerebral films, I love old horror because that stuff is actually scary like night of the living dead, old texas chinsaw masacre. I really think movies are my special interests because I really think in depth and continually talk about film... |

| What I do find really difficult though is describing or summarising a film after I've watched it - my mind just doesn't seem to store the details in a way that I can recall in a coherent manner. Is this something that anyone else finds? Say, I got to the cinema with a friend and we're talking about... |

| I often like to watch a film, read the book and then watch it again but I usually get the plot. The recent Batman was a good example of a film that I didn't quite get. Sometimes though, just re watching films opens bits that you missed. For example; In Star Wars II, the "Anakin No!!" line which is ... |

| It depends. If there are a lot of specific details in combination with fast-moving action, yes, I have to watch it a few times. I lose the plot when the screen is filled with what I see as distractions. I mean...they're not unwarranted, the details are part of the story, but my mind "blanks out" in... |

| I am watching " Dark Knight" right now and I only have a vague idea of what's going on. I have a problem following the plots of thrillers where there are crosses and double crosses and double double crosses. I'm confused right from the beginning. Well, I guess I'm not watching it anymore but it's s... |

| OMG this is me definitely. I've often thought that either a) I'm the real person or b) that I'm part of one universal mind trying figure itself out and everyone is a different aspect of that. Also I've often thought of the 'out of the room theory' as in when people are out of my sight they no longer... |

| I usually dont feel pain as bad as what I expect it to be, but I'm far more sensitive to things that tickle/ irratate...like uncomfortable clothing, labels, people unexpectedly brushing against me (hate that one!). |

| I remember being in a pushchair so I must have been pretty young. the specific memory relates to being out at shops and my mum giving me a glittery picture of Mickey Mouse which fascinated me for ages. I couldnt have been much older than 3 I expect. Aside from that I cant remember much else before t... |

| I love films, particualry horror, sci fi and fantasy ones and anything thats generally escapist or surreal. But I find that very often I have to watch a film maybe 2 or 3 times before I fully get whats going on. First time I watch I'm too busy focusing on the visuals (or lack of in some cases) and m... |

| I usually find the more abstract the lyrics the more I can get from them. mainly when i listen to music its the individual sounds I'm listening to which is why I love electronic music so much. Electrnoic sounds are so varied and very often unique that they dont need words to make a picture. I like v... |

| Oh, and I noticed it seems to happen more often to me when I'm already having a bad day, like when I'm sick. Maybe it's NT empathy kicking in :roll: Its true...they seem to be able to pick out people who are feeling vulnerable and go for them. Some days I've walked out of house fully gothed up feel... |

| Maybe "they" (the bullies in the world) feel bad about themselves because of the GOOD in us, so they attack. They can tell we won't follow them off a cliff and it throws them. But I do go on. Thats generally why they do. Either out of jealousy or they pick on someone they deem inferior (of course t... |

| I hate using names in conversations, even if I'm talking about someone who's not present. I don't know why it's so hard to do it but it is, it's like I'm embarrassed for some reason. I was that bad at one point, though I can usually manage it now so long as they arent present. I do still feel silly... |
