I have a scary, detailed memory too - I say scary because people just think I'm odd for remembering such things which go back over 30 years - I can't help it. It saddens me to know that the things which I keep in my memory are things which others have forgotten - why do I have to remember these thin...

I loved Lego - really was crazy about lego. I also had every conceivable Star Wars toy - but didn't care a bit for Star Wars (it was the thing to get your kid when I was young). I never had a Spirograph, but I recently got a cheap dollar store version of this toy - at age 37! I love it to death - an...

I have perfect pitch and sometimes take part in research studies which measure it. Lots of people just hate you for having it - they can be really rude and mean. It's one of the things I "do" well haha except for math. I studied music professionally and didn't even know I had it until years later as...

I worked as an executive assistant before (for government officials). I like that particular job, because my two colleagues were very unusual and unconventional. I held 10 other such jobs in 2 years when I decided to move to another city and none of them worked out. The first job was probably by pur...

I am so sensitive to noise - but it is odd, because when a spoon drops on the floor, for example, it just kills me. Hand clapping is the worst - a real killer. When I attend concerts (I love music, was classically trained and have perfect pitch too, play the piano) I have to cover my left ear especi...

This is my first post to this site. I have perfect pitch and Aspergers. I find it very interesting, especially since I studied music at conservatory and university (piano). I find it useful in atonal or pantonal music, which I enjoy very much. I have many different fields of interest, especially mus...
